23.3
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other
PIC
The user program memory is divided into five blocks.
One of these is a boot block of 0.5K or 2K bytes,
depending on the device. The remainder of the mem-
ory is divided into individual blocks on binary bound-
aries.

Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
• Code-Protect bit (CPn)
• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
Figure 23-2 shows the program memory organization
for 8, 16 and 32-Kbyte devices and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 23-3.
