6.5
The programming block size is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 8 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.

Read 64 bytes into RAM.
Update data values in RAM as necessary.
Load Table Pointer with address being erased.
Do the row erase procedure (see Section 6.4.1
“Flash Program Memory Erase Sequence”).
Load Table Pointer with address of first byte
being written.
Write the first 8 bytes into the holding registers
with auto-increment.
Set the EECON1 register for the write operation:
- set EEPGD bit to point to program
- clear the CFGS bit to access program
- set WREN bit to enable byte writes.
Disable interrupts.
Write 55h to EECON2.

TABLAT
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction has to be executed 8 times for
each programming operation. All of the table write
operations will essentially be short writes, because only
the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to
start the programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the
internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.
10. Write AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
