7.6
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in
Configuration
operations are disabled if code protection is enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal Data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 24.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
7.7
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been implemented. On power-up, the WREN bit is
cleared. In addition, writes to the EEPROM are blocked
during
parameter 33).
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch or software malfunction.

7.8
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte address-
able array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently
variables or other data that are updated often).
Frequently changing values will typically be updated
more often than specification D124. If this is not the
case, an array refresh must be performed. For this
reason, variables that change infrequently (such as
constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in
Flash program memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.
Note:
Using the Data EEPROM
If data EEPROM is only used to store
constants and/or data that changes rarely,
an array refresh is likely not required. See
specification D124.
