11.1.1

READING PROGRAM MEMORY

AS DATA

There are two methods of accessing constants in

program memory:

• using tables of RETLW instructions.

• setting a Files Select Register (FSR) to point to

the program memory.

11.1.1.1

RETLW Instruction

The RETLW instruction can be used to provide access

to the tables of constants. The recommended way to

create such tables is shown in Example 11-1.

EXAMPLE 11-1:

RETLW INSTRUCTION

The BRW instruction makes this type of table very

simple to implement. If your code must remain portable

with previous generations of microcontrollers, then the

BRW instruction is not available, so the older table-read

method must be used.

11.2

Data Memory Organization

The data memory (refer to Figure 11-1) is partitioned

into four banks, which contain the General Purpose

Registers (GPR) and the Special Function Registers

(SFR). The Special Function Registers are located in

the first 32 locations of each bank. Register locations

20h-7Fh in Bank 0, A0h-EFh in Bank 1, 120h-16Fh in

Bank 2 and 1A0h-1EFh in Bank 3 are General Purpose

Registers, implemented as static RAM. All other RAM

is unimplemented and returns ‘0’ when read. The

RP<1:0> bits in the STATUS register are the bank

select bits.

EXAMPLE 11-2:

BANK SELECT

To move values from one register to another register,

the value must pass through the W register. This

means that for all register-to-register moves, two

instruction cycles are required.

The entire data memory can be accessed either

directly or indirectly. Direct addressing may require the

use of the RP<1:0> bits. Indirect addressing requires

the use of the FSR. Indirect addressing uses the

Indirect Register Pointer (IRP) bit in the STATUS

Bank2/Bank3 areas of data memory.

11.2.1

GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER

FILE

The register file is organized as 64 x 8 in the

MCP19116/7. Each register is accessed, either directly

or indirectly, through the FSR (refer to Section 11.5

“Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers”).
