3.1.1
This architecture fetches 24-bit wide program memory.
Consequently, instructions are always aligned. How-
ever, as the architecture is modified Harvard, data can
also be present in program space.
There are two methods by which program space can
be accessed; via special table instructions, or through
the remapping of a 16K word program space page into
the upper half of data space (see Section 3.1.2). The
TBLRDL and TBLWTL instructions offer a direct method
of reading or writing the LS Word of any address within
program space, without going through data space. The
TBLRDH and TBLWTH instructions are the only method
whereby the upper 8 bits of a program space word can
be accessed as data.
The PC is incremented by two for each successive
24-bit program word. This allows program memory
addresses to directly map to data space addresses.
Program memory can thus be regarded as two 16-bit
word wide address spaces, residing side by side, each
with the same address range. TBLRDL and TBLWTL
access the space which contains the LS Data Word,
and TBLRDH and TBLWTH access the space which
contains the MS Data Byte.
Figure 3-2 shows how the EA is created for table oper-
ations and data space accesses (PSV = 1). Here,
P<23:0> refers to a program space word, whereas
D<15:0> refers to a data space word.

A set of Table Instructions are provided to move byte or
word sized data to and from program space.

TBLRDL: Table Read Low
Word: Read the LS Word of the program
address;
P<15:0> maps to D<15:0>.
Byte: Read one of the LS Bytes of the program
address;
P<7:0> maps to the destination byte when byte
select = 0;
P<15:8> maps to the destination byte when byte
select = 1.
TBLWTL: Table Write Low (refer to Section 6.0
for details on Flash Programming).
TBLRDH: Table Read High
Word: Read the MS Word of the program
address;
P<23:16> maps to D<7:0>; D<15:8> always
be = 0.
Byte: Read one of the MS Bytes of the program
address;
P<23:16> maps to the destination byte when
byte select = 0;
The destination byte will always be = 0 when
byte select = 1.
TBLWTH: Table Write High (refer to Section 6.0
for details on Flash Programming).
