10.3.10.4 Table Write Operations

The table write operation stores one byte of data from the TABLAT register into a buffer RAM register. The following figure shows the operation of a table write from the TABLAT register to the buffer RAM space. The procedure to write the contents of the buffer RAM into program memory is detailed in the “Page Write” 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.
