Overview

This document is intended to give an idea about in circuit serial programming of the Fujitsu F

2

MC16LX/FR
family flash Microcontroller using an adapter cable. This method allows the user to program the microcontroller
directly on the target system without additional RS232 circuit. This solution saves some space on the target
board and minimizes the cost of the system required for serial programming.

the on chip Flash memory.

Figure 1- Interface Diagram

Fujitsu standard Serial programming utility provides the asynchronous method to program the microcontroller.
In order to connect the Microcontroller on board to the utility software, only the serial interface lines SOT
(Transmit) and SIN (Receive) are necessary. On the PC side to establish a connection to the Microcontroller the
RTS and CTS line should be connected together. The DTR should be connected to the DSR line in order to
avoid the communication error. The RD line has to be connected to the SOT, and the TD line has to be
connected to the SIN via the RS232 driver to the microcontroller for voltage level conversion.

The above whole connection requires the extra component such as RS232 driver and supporting components for
driver on target board. The adapter cable eliminates the above component requirement and provides the
complete solution. Hence no need of extra component on the user system for in circuit programming the Flash
Microcontroller.

The Schematic of the adapter cable is shown in figure 2.
