CHAPTER 16 PROGRAMMING THE NONVOLATILE MEMORY

The 87C196MC and 87C196MD contain 16 Kbytes of one-time-programmable read-only mem- ory (OTPROM); the 87C196MH contains 32 Kbytes. OTPROM is similar to EPROM, but it comes in an unwindowed package and cannot be erased. You can either program the OTPROM yourself or have the factory program it as a quick-turn ROM product (this option may not be available for all devices). This chapter provides procedures and guidelines to help you program the device. The information is organized as follows.

16.1 PROGRAMMING METHODS

You can program the OTPROM by configuring a circuit that allows the device to enter a program- ming mode. In programming modes, the device executes an algorithm that resides in the internal test ROM.

Slave programming mode allows you to use an EPROM programmer as a master to program several microcontrollers (the slaves). The code and data to be programmed into the nonvolatile memory typically resides on a diskette. The EPROM programmer transfers the code and data from the diskette to its memory, then manipulates the slave’s pins to define the addresses to be programmed and the contents to be written to those addresses. Using this
