12.1.1.4 Table Write Operations

The table write operation stores one byte of data from the TABLAT register into a sector RAM holding register. The following figure shows the operation of a table write from the TABLAT register to the holding register space. The procedure to write the contents of the holding registers into program memory is detailed in the "Writing to Program Flash Memory" section.

Table operations work with byte entities. Tables containing data, rather than program instructions, are not required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table can start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being used to write executable code into program memory, program instructions will need to be word-aligned.
