13.1 EEADR
The PIC16F648A EEADR register addresses 256
bytes of data EEPROM. All eight bits in the register
(EEADR<7:0>) are required.
The PIC16F627A/628A EEADR register addresses
only the first 128 bytes of data EEPROM so only seven
of the eight bits in the register (EEADR<6:0>) are
required. The upper bit is address decoded. This
means that this bit should always be '0' to ensure that
the address is in the 128 byte memory space.
13.2 EECON1 AND EECON2
REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register with four low order bits
physically implemented. The upper-four bits are non-
existent and read as '0's.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in
software. They are cleared in hardware at completion
of the read or write operation. The inability to clear the
WR bit in software prevents the accidental, premature
termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset or a WDT Time out Reset during normal opera-
tion. In these situations, following RESET, the user can
check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. The
data and address will be unchanged in the EEDATA
and EEADR registers.
Interrupt flag bit EEIF in the PIR1 register is set when
write is complete. This bit must be cleared in software.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the Data EEPROM write sequence.

— — — — WRERR WREN WR RD
bit 7 bit 0
bit 7-4 Unimplemented: Read as '0'
bit 3 WRERR: EEPROM Error Flag bit
1 = A write operation is prematurely terminated (any MCLR
Reset, any WDT Reset during nor-
mal operation or BOR Reset)
0 = The write operation completed
bit 2 WREN: EEPROM Write Enable bit
1 = Allows write cycles
0 = Inhibits write to the data EEPROM
bit 1 WR: Write Control bit
1 = initiates a write cycle. (The bit is cleared by hardware once write is complete. The WR bit
can only be set (not cleared) in software.
0 = Write cycle to the data EEPROM is complete
bit 0 RD: Read Control bit
1 = Initiates an EEPROM read (read takes one cycle. RD is cleared in hardware. The RD bit
can only be set (not cleared) in software).
0 = Does not initiate an EEPROM read
