EPROM Control Register (EPMCR)

EPROM/OTPROM Charge Pump Disable (EPMCPD)

Used for reading EPROM at low voltage
Disable pump if MCU is operating at 2.7 V or higher
1 = Charge pump disabled
0 = Charge pump enabled

EPROM/OTPROM Latch Control (ELAT)

Latches the address and data buses for programming
1 = Buses set for EPROM/OTPROM programming
0 = Buses set for normal operation
Clearing ELAT also clears the program control bit(EPGM)
Data cannot be read when ELAT is set

EPROM/OTPROM Program Control (EPGM)

Applies IRQ1/VPP voltage to EPROM/OTPROM
ELAT must already be set to write to EPGM
1 = EPROM/OTPROM programming power switched on
0 = EPROM/OTPROM programming power swithced off

EPROM/OTPROM
Programming Sequence
Sequence for programming a byte of EPROM/OTPROM:
1) Apply the programming voltage to IRQ1/VPP pin
2) Set the ELAT bit
3) Write to any EPROM/OTPROM address
Note: writing to an invalid address prevents the programming voltage from being
applied.
4) Set the EPGM bit
5) Wait for a time, tEPGM .
6) Clear the ELAT and EPGM bits

note - Clearing the ELAT bit automatically clears the EPGM

Setting the ELAT and EPGM bit with one instruction will set ELAT but clear EPGM.
EPGM must be set by a separate instruction in the programming sequemce.

Mask Option Register (MOR)

EPROM/OTPROM Security bit (SEC)
Prevents reading of the EPROM/OTPROM
Writing to the MOR register has no effect
1 = EPROM/OTPROM security enabled
0 = EPROM/OTPROM security disabled
