what does 8KX14 program memory space

[young]

microchip program memory is decided by the program counter,as 13 bit counter can access upto 8k memory space, however what does the 14 means here, is that a 14 bit memeory space?

[SherpaDoug]

Yes. On the 16X PIC processors the program memory word is either 12 or 14 bits wide. It is a Harvard architecture processor so the data and program memory spaces never mix. Each opcode is only one word, even those like RETLW that have an 8 bit operand embedded in them.
