Cautions on onboard serial programming

x

Power supply voltage during programming should be within 2.7 V to 3.6 V. If you program outside   t h i s

limit, reliability of the written data may be damaged.

x

Always set the pull-up resistors on the target board so that serial interface communication pins does not

 become floating state. The pull-up resistors are necessary for the Flash EEPROM not to enter the

 programming mode when the serial writer is not connected.

x

Serial interface I/O pins used for onboard serial programming should be reserved as dedicated pins to

 prevent other user circuits from communicating with the device. Altenatively, design your target board to

 be capable of normal communication with serial writer.

x

The onboard serial programming mode is primarily used to program the flash EEPROM in devices that are

already installed on a PCB board with internal serial interface.
