10.1 Operations

NVM write operations are controlled by selecting the desired action with the NVMCMD bits and then starting the operation by executing the unlock sequence. NVM read operations are started by setting the GO bit after setting the read operation. Available NVM operations are shown in the following table.
Table 10-1. NVM Operations

000 No Read byte word NVM to NVMDAT No No
001 No Read and Post Increment byte word NVM to NVMDAT No No
