Power Requirements
All devices in the PIC24FXXKAXXX family are
3.3V supply designs. The core, the peripherals and the
I/O pins operate at 3.3V. The device can operate from
1.8V to 3.6V.
2.2
Entering Programming Mode
Overview
There are two methods of entering the Programming
mode (either ICSP or Enhanced ICSP):
• Low-Voltage ICSP Entry
The ICSP programming method is the most direct
method for programming the device. However, it is also
the slower of the two methods. It provides native,
low-level programming capability to erase, program,
and verify the device.
Section 3.0 “Device Programming – ICSP” describes
the ICSP method.
The Enhanced ICSP method is a faster method, which
takes advantage of the programming executive as
illustrated in Figure 2-1. The programming executive
provides the necessary functionality to erase, program
and verify the device through a command set. The command set allows the programmer to program the
PIC24FXXKAXXX devices without having to deal with
the low-level programming protocols of the device.
When the MCLR/VPP/RA5 pin is used as MCLR by
applying VSS on MCLR (low-voltage entry), the
device gets reset, and on applying the Programming mode entry sequence on the PGCx and
PGDx pins, the device enters the Programming
mode.
• High-Voltage ICSP Entry
To enter the Programming mode, if the MCLR
function of the MCLR/VPP/RA5 pin needs to be
disabled or is already disabled, a voltage VIHH
should be applied on VPP (high-voltage entry).
This is equivalent to applying VSS on MCLR; the
device gets reset. On applying the Programming
mode entry sequence on PGCx and PGDx pins,
the device enters the Programming mode.
Section 4.0 “Device Programming – Enhanced
ICSP” describes the ICSP method using the
programming executive.

TABLE 2-2:
Memory Map
The program memory map extends from 000000h to
FFFFFEh. Code storage is located at the base of the
memory map, and supports up to 5.5K instruction
words (about 16 Kbytes).
Table 2-3 provides the program memory size and
number of program memory rows present in each
device variant.
The PIC24FXXKA1XX family devices have an on-chip
data EEPROM. This data EEPROM is mapped to the
program memory area from location 7FFE00h to
7FFFFEh.
Table 2-4 provides the data EEPROM size and the
number of rows present in each device variant.
The erase operation can be done on one word, half of
a row or one row at a time. The program operation can
be done only one word at a time.
Locations, 800000h through 8007FEh, are reserved for
executive code memory. This region stores the
programming executive, the debugging executive and
the Diagnostic Words. The programming executive is
used for device programming, and the debug executive
is used for in-circuit debugging. This region of memory
cannot be used to store user code.
The device Configuration registers are implemented
from location F80000h to F80010h, and can be erased
or programmed one register at a time.

DEVICE PROGRAMMING –
ICSP
FIGURE 3-1:
The ICSP method is a special programming protocol
that
allows
reading
and
writing
to
the
PIC24FXXKAXXX device family memory. ICSP is the
most direct method used to program a device;
however, Enhanced ICSP is faster. The ICSP mode
also reads the contents of the executive memory to
determine if the programming executive is present.
This is accomplished by applying control codes and
instructions, serially to the device, using PGCx and
PGDx pins.
Start
Enter ICSP™ Mode
Perform Bulk
Erase
Program Memory
In ICSP mode, the system clock is taken from the
PGCx pin regardless of the device‘s oscillator
Configuration bits. All of the instructions are shifted
serially to an internal buffer, loaded into the Instruction
Register (IR), and then executed. No program is
fetched from the internal memory. Instructions are fed
in 24 bits at a time. PGDx is used to shift data in, and
PGCx is used as both the serial shift clock and the CPU
execution clock.

ICSP Operation
Upon entry into ICSP mode, the CPU is Idle. An
internal state machine governs the execution of the
CPU. A 4-bit control code is clocked in, using PGCx
and PGDx, and this control code is used to command
the CPU (see Table 3-1).
The SIX control code is used to send instructions to the
CPU for execution, and the REGOUT control code is
used to read data out of the device via the VISI register.

3.2.1
SIX SERIAL INSTRUCTION
EXECUTION
For example, MOV #0x0,W0 followed by MOV
[W0],W1 must have a NOP inserted in between.
The SIX control code allows execution of
PIC24FXXKAXXX family assembly instructions. When
the SIX code is received, the CPU is suspended for
24 clock cycles as the instruction is then clocked into the
internal buffer. Once the instruction is shifted in, the state
machine allows it to be executed over the next four PGC
clock cycles. While the received instruction is executed,
the state machine simultaneously shifts in the next 4-bit
command (see Figure 3-2).
If a two-cycle instruction modifies a register, which
is used indirectly, it requires two following NOPs;
one to execute the second half of the instruction
and the other to stall the CPU to correct the
pipeline.
Coming out of Reset, the first 4-bit control code is
always forced to SIX, and a forced NOP instruction is
executed by the CPU. Five additional PGCx clocks are
needed on start-up; thereby resulting in a 9-bit SIX
command, instead of the normal 4-bit SIX command.
After the forced SIX is clocked in, the ICSP operation
resumes to normal. That is, the next 24 clock cycles
load the first instruction word to the CPU.
Note:
To account for this forced NOP, all example
codes in this specification begin with a
NOP to ensure that no data is lost.
3.2.1.1
Differences Between SIX Instruction
Execution and Normal Instruction
Execution
There are some differences between executing
instructions using the SIX ICSP command and normal
device instruction execution. As a result, the code
examples in this specification might not match those
required to perform the same operations during normal
device operation.
The differences are:
• Two-word instructions require 2 SIX operations to
clock in all the necessary data.
Examples of two-word instructions are GOTO and
CALL.
• Two-cycle instructions require 2 SIX operations to
complete. The first SIX operation shifts in the
instruction and begins to execute it. A second SIX
operation, which should shift in a NOP to avoid
losing data, allows the CPU clocks required to
finish executing the instruction.
Examples of two-cycle instructions are table read
and table write instructions.
• The CPU does not automatically stall to account
for pipeline changes. A CPU stall occurs when an
instruction modifies a register, which is used by
the instruction immediately following the CPU stall
for Indirect Addressing. During normal operation,
the CPU forces a NOP while the new data is read.
To account for this, while using ICSP, any indirect
references to a recently modified register should
be proceeded with a NOP.
DS39919A-page 6
For example, TBLWTL [W0++],[W1] should be
followed by 2 NOPs.
• The device Program Counter (PC) continues to
automatically increment during the ICSP
instruction execution, even though the Flash
memory is not being used. As a result, it is
possible for the PC to be incremented so that it
points to invalid memory locations.
Examples of invalid memory spaces are
unimplemented Flash addresses or the vector
space (location 0x0 to 0x1FF).
If the PC ever points to these locations, it causes
the device to reset, possibly interrupting the ICSP
operation. To prevent this, instructions should be
periodically executed to reset the PC to a safe
space. The optimal method of achieving this is to
perform a “GOTO 0x200”.
3.2.2
REGOUT SERIAL INSTRUCTION
EXECUTION
The REGOUT control code allows for the data to be
extracted from the device in the ICSP mode. It is used
to clock the contents of the VISI register out of the
device over the PGDx pin. After the REGOUT control
code is received, the CPU is held Idle for 8 cycles. After
this, an additional 16 cycles are required to clock the
data out (see Figure 3-3).
The REGOUT code is unique as the PGDx pin is an
input when the control code is transmitted to the
device. However, after the control code is processed,
the PGDx pin becomes an output as the VISI register is
shifted out.
Note 1: After the contents of VISI are shifted out,
the PIC24FXXKAXXX devices maintain
PGDx as an output until the first rising
edge of the next clock is received.
2: Data changes on the falling edge and
latches on the rising edge of PGCx. For
all data transmissions, the Least
Significant bit (LSb) is transmitted first.

interval of at least P19 and P7 must elapse before
presenting data on PGDx. Signals appearing on PGCx
before P7 has elapsed would not be interpreted as
valid.
LOW-VOLTAGE ICSP ENTRY
As illustrated in Figure 3-4, the following processes are
involved in entering ICSP Program/Verify mode using
MCLR:
1.
2.
3.
3.3.2
Entering the ICSP Program/Verify mode, using the VPP
pin is the same as entering the mode using MCLR. The
only difference is the programming voltage applied to
VPP is VIHH, and before presenting the key sequence
on PGDx, an interval of at least P18 should elapse (see
Figure 3-5).
MCLR is briefly driven high, then low.
A 32-bit key sequence is clocked into PGDx.
MCLR is then driven high within a specified
period of time and held.
The programming voltage VIH IS applied to MCLR; this
is VDD in the case of PIC24FXXKAXXX devices. There
is no minimum time requirement for holding at VIH.
After VIH is removed, an interval of at least P18 must
elapse before presenting the key sequence on PGDx.
Once the key sequence is complete, an interval of at
least P7 should elapse, and the voltage should remain
at VIHH. The voltage, VIHH, must be held at that level for
as long as the Program/Verify mode is to be maintained. An interval of at least P7 must elapse before
presenting the data on PGDx.
The key sequence is a specific 32-bit pattern:
‘0100 1101 0100 0011 0100 1000 0101
0001‘ (more easily remembered as 4D434851h in
hexadecimal). The device will enter Program/Verify
mode only if the sequence is valid. The Most Significant
bit (MSb) of the most significant nibble must be shifted in
first.
Signals appearing on PGDx before P7 has elapsed will
not be interpreted as valid.
Upon a successful entry, the program memory can be
accessed and programmed in serial fashion. While in
ICSP mode, all unused I/Os are placed in a
high-impedance state.
Once the key sequence is complete, VIH must be
applied to MCLR and held at that level for as long as
the Program/Verify mode is to be maintained. An

In ICSP mode, all programming operations are
self-timed. There is an internal delay between setting
and automatic clearing of the WR control bit when the
programming operation is complete. Refer to

Writing Code Memory
The procedure for writing code memory is the same as
writing the Configuration registers. The difference is
that the 32 instruction words are programmed one at a
time. To facilitate this operation, working registers,
W0:W5, are used as temporary holding registers for the
data to be programmed. Figure 3-8 illustrates the code
memory writing flow.
Table 3-5 provides the ICSP programming details,
including the serial pattern with the ICSP command
code, which must be transmitted LSB first, using the
PGCx and PGDx pins (see Figure 3-2).
In Step 1 of Table 3-5, the Reset vector is exited; in
Step 2, the NVMCON register is initialized for
programming a full row of code memory, and in Step 3,
the 24-bit starting destination address for programming
is loaded into the TBLPAG register and W7 register.
The upper byte of the starting destination address is
stored in TBLPAG and the lower 16 bits of the
destination address are stored in W7.
In Step 4 of Table 3-5, four packed instruction words
are stored in working registers, W0:W5, using the MOV
instruction; the Read Pointer, W6, is initialized.
Figure 3-7 illustrates the contents of W0:W5 holding
the packed instruction word data. In Step 5, eight
TBLWT instructions are used to copy the data from
W0:W5 to the write latches of the code memory. Since
code memory is programmed 32 instruction words at a
time, Steps 3 to 5 are repeated eight times to load all
the write latches (see Step 6).
After the write latches are loaded, initiate programming
by writing to the NVMCON register in Steps 7 and 8. In
Step 9, the internal PC is reset to 200h. This is a
precautionary measure to prevent the PC from
incrementing to unimplemented memory when large
devices are being programmed. Finally, in Step 10,
repeat Steps 3 through 9 until all of the code memory is
programmed.
To minimize the programming time, a packed
instruction format is used (see Figure 3-7).

Verifying Code Memory, Data
EEPROM Memory and
Configuration Registers
To verify the code memory, read the code memory
space and compare it with the copy held in the
programmer’s buffer. To verify the data EEPROM and
Configuration registers, follow the similar procedure.
Figure 3-10 illustrates the verify process flowchart.
Memory reads occur 1 byte at a time, hence 2 bytes
must be read to compare with the word in the
programmer’s buffer. Refer to Section 3.9 “Reading
Code Memory” for implementation details of reading
code memory. On the same lines, the data EEPROM
and Configuration registers can be verified.
Note:
Code memory should be verified
immediately after writing if code protection
is enabled. Since Configuration registers
include the device code protection bit, the
device will not be readable or verifiable if a

Reading the Application ID Word
The Application ID Word is stored in address 8005BEh
in the executive code memory. To read this memory
location, use the SIX control code to move this program
memory location to the VISI register. Then, the
REGOUT control code must be used to clock the
contents of the VISI register out of the device.
Table 3-12 provides the corresponding control and
instruction codes that must be serially transmitted to
the device to perform this operation.
After the programmer has clocked out the Application
ID Word, it must be inspected. If the Application ID has
the value, BBh, the programming executive resides in
the memory and the device can be programmed using
the mechanism described in Section 4.0 “Device
Programming – Enhanced ICSP”. However, if the
Application ID has any other value, the programming
executive does not reside in the memory; it must be
loaded to memory before the device can be
programmed. Section 5.4 “Programming the
Programming Executive to Memory” describes the
procedure for loading the programming executive to
memory.

Exiting ICSP Mode
Exit the Program/Verify mode by removing VIH from
MCLR/VPP as illustrated in Figure 3-11. The only
requirement to exit is that an interval of P16 should
elapse between the last clock and program signals on
PGCx and PGDx before removing VIH.

DEVICE PROGRAMMING –
ENHANCED ICSP
This section describes the programming of the device
through Enhanced ICSP and the programming
executive. The programming executive resides in the
executive memory (separate from user memory
space), and is executed when Enhanced ICSP
Programming mode is entered. The programming
executive provides the mechanism for the programmer
(host device) to program and verify the
PIC24FXXKAXXX devices using a simple command
set and communication protocol. The basic functions
provided by the programming executive are:

The programming executive performs the low-level
tasks required for erasing, programming and verifying
a device. This allows the programmer to program the
device by issuing the appropriate commands and data.
Table 4-1 provides these commands. For detailed

Confirming the Presence of the
Programming Executive
Before beginning programming, confirm if the
programming executive is stored in the executive
memory and perform the following:
1.
2.
Enter In-Circuit Serial Programming mode
(ICSP).
Read the unique Application ID Word stored in
the executive memory.

Entering Enhanced ICSP Mode
4.3.1
LOW-VOLTAGE ENTRY
Perform the following steps to enter Enhanced ICSP
Program/Verify mode using MCLR:
1.
2.
3.
Briefly drive the MCLR pin high, and then low.
Clock a 32-bit key sequence into PGDx.
Drive the MCLR high within a specified period
and continue to hold high.
Figure 4-2 illustrates this procedure.
Figure 4-3 illustrates this procedure.
If the programming executive is resident, the
Application ID Word is BBh, which means
programming can resume as normal. However, if the
Application ID Word is not BBh, the programming
executive must be programmed to executive code
memory using the method described in Section 5.4
“Programming the Programming Executive to
Memory”.
The programming voltage applied to MCLR is VIH,
which is essentially VDD in the case of
PIC24FXXKAXXX devices. There is no minimum time
requirement for holding at VIH. After VIH is removed, an
interval of at least P18 must elapse before presenting
the key sequence on PGDx.
Section 3.0 “Device Programming – ICSP” describes
the ICSP programming method. Section 3.13 “Reading
the Application ID Word” describes the procedure for
reading the Application ID Word in ICSP mode.

HIGH-VOLTAGE ENTRY
The procedure for entering Enhanced ICSP
Program/Verify mode using the VPP pin is the same as
entering the mode using MCLR. The only differences
are that the programming voltage applied to VPP is
VIHH, and before presenting the key sequence on
PGDx, an interval of at least P18 should elapse.
Figure 4-4 illustrates this procedure.
No
Yes
Prog. Executive is
Resident in Memory
Once the key sequence is complete, VIH must be
applied to MCLR and held at that level for as long as
the Program/Verify mode is to be maintained. An
interval of at least P19 and P7 must elapse before
presenting data on PGDx. Signals appearing on PGDx
before P7 has elapsed will not be interpreted as valid.

The key sequence is a specific 32-bit pattern:
‘0100 1101 0100 0011 0100 1000 0101
0000‘ (more easily remembered as 4D434850h in
hexadecimal format). The device will enter
Program/Verify mode only if the key sequence is valid.
The MSB of the most significant nibble must be shifted
in first.
Prog. Executive must
be Programmed
Once the key sequence is complete, an interval of at
least P19 should elapse and the VIHH should be
reduced to VIH. The voltage, VIH, must be applied to
VPP and held at that level for as long as the
Program/Verify mode is to be maintained. An interval of
at least P19 and P7 should elapse before presenting
data on PGDx.
Signals appearing on PGDx before P7 has elapsed will
not be interpreted as valid.
On successful entry, the program memory can be
accessed and programmed in serial fashion. While in
the Program/Verify mode, all unused I/Os are placed in
the high-impedance state.

Blank Check
The term “Blank Check” implies verifying if the device
has been successfully erased and has no programmed
memory locations. A blank or erased memory location
is always read as ‘1’.
The Device ID registers (FF0002h:FF0000h) can be
ignored by the Blank Check as this region stores device
information that cannot be erased. The device
Configuration registers are also ignored by the Blank
Check. Additionally, all unimplemented memory space
should be ignored by the Blank Check.
The QBLANK command is used for the Blank Check. It
determines if the code memory is erased by testing
these memory regions. A ‘BLANK’ or ‘NOT BLANK’
response is returned. If it is determined that the device
is not blank, it must be erased before attempting to
program the device.

Code Memory Programming
PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY
Figure 4-5 illustrates an example flowchart for
programming code memory. In this example, all 5.5K
instruction words of a PIC24FXXKAXXX device are
programmed.
• First, the number of commands to send (titled
‘RemainingCmds’ in the flowchart) is set to 176,
and the destination address (called
‘BaseAddress’) is set to ‘0’.
• Next, one write block in the device is programmed
with a PROGP command. Each PROGP command
contains data for one row of code memory of the
PIC24FXXKAXXX device.
• After the first command is processed successfully,
‘RemainingCmds’ is decremented by 1 and
compared with 0.
Since there are more PROGP commands to be sent,
‘BaseAddress’ is incremented by 40h to point to the
next row of memory. On the second PROGP command,
the second row is programmed. This process is
repeated until the entire device is programmed. Special
handling should not be performed when a panel
boundary is crossed.
Code memory is programmed with the PROGP
command. PROGP programs one row of code memory,
starting from the memory address specified in the
command. The number of PROGP commands required
to program a device depends on the number of write
blocks that must be programmed in the device.

PROGRAMMING VERIFICATION
After the code memory is programmed, the contents of
the memory can be verified to ensure that the
programming is successful. Verification requires the
code memory to be read back and compared with the
copy held in the programmer‘s buffer.
The READP command can be used to read back all of
the programmed code memory.
Alternatively, you can have the programmer perform
the verification after the entire device is programmed
using a checksum computation.

Data EEPROM Programming
4.6.1
The programming executive uses the PROGD command
to program the data EEPROM. Figure 4.7 illustrates
this process.
• First, the number of words to program
(RemainingWords) is based on the device size
and the destination address (DestAddress) is set
to 0. In this example, 256 words of data EEPROM
will be programmed.
• The first PROGD command programs the first word
of data EEPROM.
• Once the command completes successfully,
‘RemainingWords’ is decremented by 1 and
compared with 0.
• Since there are 255 more words to program,
‘BaseAddress’ is incremented by 02h to point to
the next word of data EEPROM.
• This process is then repeated until all 256 words
of data EEPROM are programmed.

Configuration Bits Programming
If the General Segment Code-Protect bit
(GCP) is programmed to ‘0‘, code memory
is code-protected and cannot be read. Code
memory must be verified before enabling
code protection. See Section 4.7.3
“Code-Protect Configuration Bits” for
more
information
on
code-protect
Configuration bits.
PROGRAMMING VERIFICATION
After the Configuration bits are programmed, the
contents of memory should be verified to ensure that
the programming was successful. Verification requires
the Configuration bits to be read back and compared
against the copy held in the programmer‘s buffer. The
READP command reads back the programmed
Configuration bits and verifies that the programming
was successful.
The PIC24FXXKAXXX family has eight Configuration
registers. The bits of these registers can be set or
cleared to select various device configurations. There
are three types of Configuration bits:
• System Operation Bits
These bits determine the power-on settings for
system-level components, such as the oscillator and
Watchdog Timer.
• Code-Protect Bits
These bits prevent program memory from being read
and written.
• Device ID Bits
These are read-only bits, which are located from
FF0000 to FF0003, and are unique to every device.
Table 4-2 provides the Configuration registers.

CODE-PROTECT CONFIGURATION
BITS
The FBS and FGS Configuration registers are special
Configuration registers which control the code
protection for the boot segment and general segment,
respectively. For each segment, two forms of code
protection are provided. One form prevents code
memory from being written (write protection), while the
other prevents it from being read (read protection).
executive always verifies what it programs, attempting
to program code memory with read protection enabled
also results in failure.
It is imperative that all code protection bits should be ‘1’
while the device is being programmed, and verified.
Only after the device is programmed and verified
should any of the above bits be programmed to ‘0’ (see
Section 4.7 “Configuration Bits Programming”).
Note:
All bits in the FBS and FGS Configuration
registers can only be programmed to a
value of ‘0‘.Bulk Erasing the chip is the
only way to reprogram code-protect bits
from on (‘0’) to off (‘1’).
The BWRP and GWRP bits control write protection and
the BSS0 and GSS0 bits control read protection.
When write protection is enabled, any programming
operation to code memory will fail. When read
protection is enabled, any read from code memory will
cause a 00h to be read, regardless of the actual
contents of code memory. Since the programming

The programmer and the programming executive have
a master-slave relationship, where the programmer is
the master programming device and the programming
executive is the slave.
Communication is initiated by the programmer in the
form of a command. Only one command at a time can be
sent to the programming executive. The programming
executive, in turn, only sends one response to the
programmer after receiving and processing a command.
The programming executive command set is described
in
Section 5.2
“Programming
Executive
Commands”. The response set is described in
Section 5.3 “Programming Executive Responses”.

As a 2-wire SPI is used and data transmissions are
half-duplex, a simple protocol is used to control the
direction of PGDx. When the programmer completes a
command transmission, it releases the PGDx line and
allows the programming executive to drive this line
high. The programming executive keeps the PGDx line
high to indicate that it is processing the command.
After the programming executive has processed the
command, it brings PGDx low for 15 μsec to indicate to
the programmer that the response is available to be
clocked out. The programmer can begin to clock out
the response 23 μsec after PGDx is brought low, and it
must provide the necessary amount of clock pulses to
receive the entire response from the programming
executive.
The Enhanced ICSP interface is a two-wire SPI,
implemented using the PGCx and PGDx pins. The
PGCx pin is used as a clock input pin; the programmer
should provide the clock source. The PGDx pin is used
to send the command data to, and receive response
data from, the programming executive.
After the entire response is clocked out, the
programmer should terminate the clock on PGCx until
it is time to send another command to the programming
executive; Figure 5.2 displays this protocol.
Data transmits to the device should change on the
rising edge and hold on the falling edge of PGCx.
In Enhanced ICSP mode, the PIC24FXXKAXXX family
devices operate from the internal Fast RC Oscillator,
which has a nominal frequency of 8 MHz. This
oscillator frequency yields an effective system clock
frequency of 4 MHz. To ensure that the programmer
does not clock too fast, it is recommended that a 4 MHz
clock be provided by the programmer.
Data receives from the device change on the falling
edge and holds on the rising edge of PGCx.
The data transmissions are sent to the MSB first using
16-bit mode (see Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2).

5.1.3
TIME-OUTS
As a safety measure, the programmer should use the
command time-outs identified and listed in Table 5-1. If
the command time-out expires, the programmer should
reset the programming executive and start
programming the device again.
The programming executive does not use the Watchdog Timer or time-out for transmitting responses to the
programmer. If the programmer does not follow the flow
control mechanism using PGCx, as described in
Section 5.1.1 “Communication Interface and Protocol”, it is possible that the programming executive will
behave unexpectedly while trying to send a response
to the programmer. Since the programming executive
does not have a time-out, it is imperative that the programmer correctly follow the described communication
protocol.

The command opcode must match one of those in the
command set. Any command that is received that does
not match the list in Table 5-1 returns a “NACK”
response (see Section 5.3.1.1 “Opcode Field”).
The command length is represented in 16-bit words as
the SPI operates in 16-bit mode. The programming
executive uses the command length field to determine
the number of words to read from the SPI port. If the
value of this field is incorrect, the command will not be
properly received by the programming executive.
The programming executive commands have a
general format consisting of a 16-bit header and any
required data for the command (see Figure 5-4). The
16-bit header consists of a 4-bit opcode field, which is
used to identify the command, followed by a 12-bit
command length field.

When 24-bit instruction words are transferred across
the 16-bit SPI interface, they are packed to conserve
space using the format illustrated in Figure 5-5. This
format minimizes the traffic over the SPI and provides
the programming executive the data that is properly
aligned for performing table write operations.

ERROR HANDLING
The programming executive will “NACK” all
unsupported commands. Additionally, due to the
memory constraints of the programming executive, no
checking is performed on the data contained in the
programmer command. It is the responsibility of the
programmer to command the programming executive
with valid command arguments; otherwise, the
programming operation might fail. Section 5.3.1.3
“QE_Code Field” provides additional information on
error handling.

5.3.1.1
Opcode Field
The opcode is a 4-bit field in the first word of the
response. The opcode indicates how the command
was processed (see Table 5-2). If the command was
processed successfully, the response opcode is PASS;
if there was an error in processing the command, the
response opcode is FAIL and the QE_Code indicates
the reason for the failure. If the command sent to
the programming executive is not identified, the
programming executive returns a NACK response.
5.3.1.2
Last_Cmd Field
The Last_Cmd is a 4-bit field in the first word of
the response and it indicates the command that the
programming executive processed. As the programming executive can process only one command at a
time, this field is technically not required. However, it
can be used to verify if the programming executive
correctly received the command that the programmer
transmitted.

5.3.1.3
QE_Code Field
The QE_Code is a byte in the first word of the
response. This byte is used to return data for query
commands and error codes for all of the other
commands.
When the programming executive processes one of the
two query commands (QBLANK or QVER), the returned
opcode is always PASS and the QE_Code holds the
query response data.
The response to the READP command uses the packed
instruction word format described in Section 5.2.2
“Packed Data Format”. When reading an odd number
of program memory words (N odd), the response to the
READP command is (3 * (N + 1)/2 + 2) words. When
reading an even number of program memory words
(N even), the response to the READP command is
(3 * N/2 + 2) words.

Table 5-3 provides the format of the QE_Code for both
queries.
TABLE 5-3:
QE_Code FOR QUERIES

0xMN, where programming executive
software version = M.N (i.e., 32h stands
for version 3.2 of the programming
executive software)
When the programming executive processes any
command other than a query, the QE_Code represents
an error code. Table 5-4 provides the supported error
codes.
If a command is successfully processed, the returned
QE_Code is set to 0h, which indicates that there was
no error in the command processing. If the verify of the
programming for the PROGP or PROGC command fails,
the QE_Code is set to 1h. For all other programming
executive errors, the QE_Code is 2h.

OVERVIEW
If it is determined that the programming executive is not
present in the executive memory (as described
in Section 4.2 “Confirming the Presence of the
Programming Executive”), it must be programmed
into the executive memory using ICSP, as described in
Section 3.0 “Device Programming – ICSP”.
Storing the programming executive to executive
memory is the same as normal programming of code
memory:
The executive memory should be erased and then the
programming executive must be programmed
32 words at a time.
Erasing the last eight words causes the device
diagnostic data in the Diagnostic Words at addresses
8007F0h to 8007FEh to be erased. In order to retain
these, the memory locations should be read and
stored, and then be reprogrammed in the last eight
words of program memory. Table 5-5 provides this
control flow.
Description
0h
No error.
1h

Programming Verification
After the programming executive is programmed to the
executive memory using ICSP, it must be verified.
Verify by reading out the contents of the executive
memory and comparing it with the image of the
programming executive stored in the programmer.
Table provides the procedure for reading the executive
memory.
Note:
In Step 2 of Table 5-6, the TBLPAG
register is set to 80h, such that the
executive memory may be read.
Read the contents of the executive memory using the
same method described in Section 3.9 “Reading
Code Memory”.

DEVICE ID
6.1
The Device ID region of memory can be used to
determine the mask, variant and manufacturing
information about the device. The Device ID region is
2 x 16 bits and it can be read using the READC
command. This region of memory is read-only and can
also be read when code protection is enabled.
6.1.1
• Contents of the code memory locations
• Contents of the Configuration registers
Table 6-4 describes how to calculate the checksum for
each device.
All memory locations are summed, one byte at a time,
using only their native data size. More specifically,
Configuration registers are summed by adding the
lower two bytes of these locations (the upper byte is
ignored) while the code memory is summed by adding
all three bytes of the code memory.
