Intel 8XC196MD, 8XC196MH, 8XC196MC Uprom Programming Values and Locations for Slave Mode, Usfr

PROGRAMMING THE NONVOLATILE MEMORY

USFR	Address:	1FF6H
	Reset State (MC, MD):	02H
	Reset State (MH):	XXH

The unerasable PROM (USFR) register contains two bits that disable external fetches of data and instructions and another that detects a failed oscillator. These bits can be programmed, but cannot be erased.

WARNING: These bits can be programmed, but can never be erased. Programming these bits makes dynamic failure analysis impossible. For this reason, devices with programmed UPROM bits cannot be returned to Intel for failure analysis.

7:4	—	Reserved; for compatibility with future devices, write zeros to these bits.
3	DEI	Disable External Instruction Fetch
		Setting this bit prevents the bus controller from executing external
		instruction fetches. Any attempt to load an external address initiates a
		reset.
2	DED	Disable External Data Fetch
		Setting this bit prevents the bus controller from executing external data
		reads and writes. Any attempt to access data through the bus controller
		initiates a reset.
1:0	—	Reserved; for compatibility with future devices, write zero to these bits.

You can verify a UPROM bit to make sure it programmed, but you cannot erase it. For this reason, Intel cannot test the bits before shipment. However, Intel does test the features that the UPROM bits enable, so the only undetectable defects are (unlikely) defects within the UPROM cells them- selves.
