4.1.3 Program Memory
Program memory occupies a memory partition beginning at 2080H. (See Table 4-1 for the ending
address for each device.) This entire partition is available for storing executable code and data.
The EA# signal controls access to program memory. Accesses to this address range are directed
to internal memory if EA# is held high and to external memory if EA# is held low. For devices
without internal nonvolatile memory, the EA# signal must be tied low. EA# is latched at reset.
NOTE
We recommend that you write FFH (the opcode for the RST instruction) to
unused program memory locations. This causes a device reset if a program
unintentionally begins to execute in unused memory.

NOTES:
1. After a reset, the device fetches its first instruction from 2080H.
2. The content or function of these locations may change in future device revisions, in which case a pro-
gram that relies on a location in this range might not function properly.
