MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The MCV14A memories are organized into program
memory and data memory (SRAM).The self-writable
portion of the program memory called Flash data mem-
ory is located at addresses at 400h-43Fh. All Program
mode commands that work on the normal Flash mem-
ory work on the Flash data memory. This includes bulk
erase, row/column/cycling toggles, Load and Read
Memory” for more details). For devices with more than
512 bytes of program memory, a paging scheme is
used. Program memory pages are accessed using one
STATUS register bit. For the MCV14A, with data mem-
ory register files of more than 32 registers, a banking
scheme is used. Data memory banks are accessed
using the File Select Register (FSR).
3.1
Program Memory Organization for
the MCV14A
The MCV14A device has an 11-bit Program Counter
(PC) capable of addressing a 2K x 12 program memory
space. Program memory is partitioned into user memory,
data memory and configuration memory spaces.
The user memory space is the on-chip user program
to 0x3FF and partitions into pages, including Reset
vector at address 0x3FF.
The data memory space is the Flash data memory
block and is located at addresses PC = 400h-43Fh. All
Program mode commands that work on the normal
Flash memory work on the Flash data memory block.
This includes bulk erase, Load and Read data
commands.
The Configuration Memory Space extends from 0x440
to 0x7FF. Locations from 0x448 through 0x49F are
reserved. The User I.D. locations extend from 0x440
through 0x443. The Backup OSCCAL locations extend
from 0x444 through 0x447. The Configuration Word is
physically located at 0x7FF.
