10.3.7 Write Verify

Depending on the application, good programming practice can dictate that the value written to the memory shall be verified against the original value. This can be used in applications where excessive writes can stress bits near the specification limit. Since program memory is stored as a full page, the stored program memory contents are compared with the intended data stored in the buffer RAM after the last write is complete.
