PIC18F2220/2320/4220/4320
6.4
The minimum erase block size is 32 words or 64 bytes
under firmware control. Only through the use of an
external programmer, or through ICSP control, can
larger blocks of program memory be bulk erased. Word
erase in Flash memory is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the micro-
controller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased;
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash pro-
gram memory. The CFGS bit must be clear to access
program Flash and data EEPROM memory. The
WREN bit must be set to enable write operations. The
FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. The WR
bit is set as part of the required instruction sequence
(as shown in Example 6-2) and starts the actual erase
operation. It is not necessary to load the TABLAT
register with any data as it is ignored.
For protection, the write initiate sequence using
EECON2 must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.

6.4.1
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Load Table Pointer with address of row being
erased.
Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:
• set EEPGD bit to point to program
• clear the CFGS bit to access program
• set WREN bit to enable writes;
• set FREE bit to enable the erase.
Disable interrupts.
Write 55h to EECON2.
Write AAh to EECON2.
Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase
cycle.
The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
Execute a NOP.
Re-enable interrupts.
