Operations

NVM write operations are controlled by selecting the desired action with the NVMCMD bits then starting the operation by executing the unlock sequence. NVM read operations are started by simply setting the GO bit after setting the read operation. Available NVM operations are shown in the following table.
Table 1. NVM Operations
NVMCMD Unlock Operation DFM PFM Source/Destination WRERR INT
000 No Read byte word NVM to NVMDAT No No
001 No Read and Post Increment byte word NVM to NVMDAT No No
010 No Read Page — page NVM to Buffer RAM No No
011 Yes Write byte word NVMDAT to NVM Yes Yes
100 Yes Write and Post Increment byte word NVMDAT to NVM Yes Yes
101 Yes Write Page — page Buffer RAM to NVM Yes Yes
110 Yes Erase Page — page n/a Yes Yes
111 No Reserved (No Operation) — — — No No
Important: Write operations are inhibited on all NVM registers while the GO bit is set. The GO bit is cleared by hardware when the operation is complete. The GO bit cannot be cleared by software.
