4.2
The dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 Flash program memory
array is organized into rows of 64 instructions or 192
bytes. RTSP allows the user application to erase a
page of memory, which consists of eight rows (512
instructions) at a time, and to program one row or one
word at a time. Table 23-12 shows typical erase and
programming times. The 8-row erase pages and single
row write rows are edge-aligned from the beginning of
program memory, on boundaries of 1536 bytes and
192 bytes, respectively.
The program memory implements holding buffers that
can contain 64 instructions of programming data. Prior
to the actual programming operation, the write data
must be loaded into the buffers sequentially. The
instruction words loaded must always be from a group
of 64 boundary.
The basic sequence for RTSP programming is to set up
a Table Pointer, then do a series of TBLWT instructions
to load the buffers. Programming is performed by
setting the control bits in the NVMCON register. A total
of 64 TBLWTL and TBLWTH instructions are required
to load the instructions.
All of the table write operations are single-word writes
(two instruction cycles) because only the buffers are
written.

Two SFRs are used to read and write the program
Flash memory: NVMCON and NVMKEY.
The NVMCON register (Register 4-1) controls which
blocks are to be erased, which memory type is to be
programmed and the start of the programming cycle.
NVMKEY is a write-only register that is used for write
protection. To start a programming or erase sequence,
the user application must consecutively write 0x55 and
0xAA to the NVMKEY register. Refer to Section 4.4
“Programming Operations” for further details.
4.4
A complete programming sequence is necessary for
programming or erasing the internal Flash in RTSP
mode. A programming operation is nominally 4 ms in
duration and the processor stalls (waits) until the
operation
(NVMCON<15>) starts the operation, and the WR bit is
automatically cleared when the operation is finished.
