5 Conclusion

This technical brief provides an overview of the memory organization of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers and the available types of protection for the different memory segments. It briefly discusses the advanced code security features, PDID and SAFLOCK, and how to configure these features.

The PIC18-Q24 family of microcontrollers provides advanced code security features that significantly contribute to the implementation of secure embedded systems. These features safeguard proprietary code and data stored in memory from potential external cyber threats and malware intrusions.
