XA-G37
EPROM CHARACTERISTICS
The XA-G37 is programmed by using a modified Improved
Quick-Pulse Programming™ algorithm. This algorithm is essentially
the same as that used by the later 80C51 family EPROM parts.
However different pins are used for many programming functions.
Detailed EPROM programming information may be obtained from
the internet at www.philipsmcu.com/ftp.html.
The XA-G37 contains three signature bytes that can be read and
used by an EPROM programming system to identify the device. The
signature bytes identify the device as an XA-Gx manufactured by
Philips.
Security Bits
With none of the security bits programmed the code in the program
memory can be verified. When only security bit 1 (see Table 6) is
programmed, MOVC instructions executed from external program
memory are disabled from fetching code bytes from the internal
memory. All further programming of the EPROM is disabled. When
security bits 1 and 2 are programmed, in addition to the above,
verify mode is disabled. When all three security bits are
programmed, all of the conditions above apply and all external
program memory execution is disabled. (See Table 6)
