Flexible Flash Programming
• Programmer Mode: MCUs can be
programmed using an external box such as
a parallel programmer or debug emulator.
• Boot Mode: Built-in boot loader program
allows PC connection throug h RS232 interface
for easy programming.
• CPU/User Mode: Customer can develop custom
bootloader program to rewrite the flash memory.
The rewrite program can be transferred to RAM
when all flash memory contents need to be changed.
Secured Contents
• ROM Code Protect bits prevent reading or rewriting of the
on-chip flash memory when using a parallel programmer.
• Similarly, during serial programming, the Flash Memory
ID Code protection feature prevents unauthorized access.
The multi-byte ID sent by the serial programmer must
match the ID previously set by the user in order to access
the flash memory.
• Individual flash blocks can also be set to an Execute-Only
Mode to prevent undesired reading or rewriting.
