Parallel Programming

22.7.1

Enter Programming Mode

The following algorithm puts the device in parallel programming mode:

1.

Apply 4.5 - 5.5V between V

CC

and GND.

2.

Set RESET to “0” and toggle XTAL1 at least six times.

3.

Set the Prog_enable pins listed in

Table 22-10 on page 172

to “0000” and wait at least

100 ns.

4.

Apply 11.5 - 12.5V to RESET. Any activity on Prog_enable pins within 100 ns after +12V
has been applied to RESET, will cause the device to fail entering programming mode.

5.

Wait at least 50 µs before sending a new command.

22.7.2

Considerations for Efficient Programming

The loaded command and address are retained in the device during programming. For efficient
programming, the following should be considered.

• The command needs only be loaded once when writing or reading multiple memory locations.

• Skip writing the data value 0xFF, that is the contents of the entire EEPROM (unless the

EESAVE Fuse is programmed) and Flash after a Chip Erase.

• Address high byte needs only be loaded before programming or reading a new 256 word

window in Flash or 256 byte EEPROM. This consideration also applies to Signature bytes
reading.
