INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM

MEMORY

The

program

memory

addressed

bytes.

Instructions are stored as either two bytes or four bytes

in program memory. The Least Significant Byte of an

instruction word is always stored in a program memory

location with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain

alignment

with

instruction

boundaries,

the

increments in steps of 2 and the LSb will always read

‘0’ (see Section 5.1.1 “Program Counter”).

Figure 5-4 shows an example of how instruction words

are stored in the program memory.

The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute

program

memory

address

embedded

into

the

instruction. Since instructions are always stored on word

boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a

word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,

which accesses the desired byte address in program

memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-4 shows how the

instruction GOTO

0006h

is encoded in the program

memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a

relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The

offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the

number of single-word instructions that the PC will be

offset by. Section 24.0 “Instruction Set Summary”

provides further details of the instruction set.

5.2.4

TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS

The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word

instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all

cases, the second word of the instruction always has

‘1111’ as its four Most Significant bits; the other 12 bits

are literal data, usually a data memory address.

The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction

specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is

executed in proper sequence – immediately after the

first word – the data in the second word is accessed

and used by the instruction sequence. If the first word

is skipped for some reason and the second word is

executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is

necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is

preceded by a conditional instruction that changes the

PC. Example 5-4 shows how this works.
