PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX
5.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX devices contain an internal
Flash program memory for executing user code. There
are three methods by which the user can program this
memory:
1. Run-Time Self Programming (RTSP)
2. EJTAG Programming
3. In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
RTSP is performed by software executing from either
Flash or RAM memory. Information about RTSP
techniques is available in Section 5. “Flash Program
Memory” (DS61121) in the “PIC32MX Family
Reference Manual”.
EJTAG is performed using the EJTAG port of the
device and an EJTAG capable programmer.
ICSP is performed using a serial data connection to the
device and allows much faster programming times than
RTSP.
The EJTAG and ICSP methods are described in the
“PIC32MX Flash Programming Specification”
(DS61145), which can be downloaded from the
Microchip web site.
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX family of
devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 5. “Flash
Program Memory” (DS61121) in the

2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be avail-
able on all devices. Refer to Section 4.0
“Memory Organization” in this data
sheet for device-specific register and bit
information.
