5.2.3
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instruc-
tions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain alignment
with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps
of 2 and the LSb will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.1.2
“Program Counter”).
Figure 5-5 shows an example of how instruction words
are stored in the program memory.

The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute pro-
gram memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word boundar-
ies, the data contained in the instruction is a word
address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-5 shows how the
instruction GOTO
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a
relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The
offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. Section 26.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction set.
