Self-programmable Flash microcontroller

-- Control Engineering, 10/1/2001

Chandler, Ariz. - PICmicro Flash devices featuring in-circuit serial programming allow microcontrollers to be programmed after being placed in a circuit board. It enables reduced cost of field upgrades, system calibration during manufacturing, addition of unique identification codes to the system, and calibration of the system in the field. Customers can reprogram remotely the Flash memory in socket through the Serial Communication Interface hardware module. The product offers endurance with up to 1,000,000 erase/write cycles to data memory and 100,000 erase/write cycles to program memory.
