READING THE DATA EEPROM 
MEMORY
To read a data memory location, the user must write
the address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD
control bit of the EECON1 register, and then set control
bit RD. The data is available at the very next cycle, in
the EEDAT register; therefore, it can be read in the next
instruction. EEDAT will hold this value until another
read or until it is written to by the user (during a write
operation).
EXAMPLE 10-1:
DATA EEPROM READ 
10.1.3
WRITING TO THE DATA EEPROM 
MEMORY
To write an EEPROM data location, the user must first
write the address to the EEADR register and the data
to the EEDAT register. Then the user must follow a
specific sequence to initiate the write for each byte.
The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
followed exactly (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. Interrupts
should be disabled during this code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable write. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to errant (unexpected)
code execution (i.e., lost programs). The user should
keep the WREN bit clear at all times, except when
updating EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared
by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the
WREN bit will not affect this write cycle. The WR bit will
be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is set.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EE Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user can either
enable this interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.
