General Description
The chip contains an EEPROM/PRO M of 88 bits, a mask ROM of 16 bits and a sequencing control with
security logic (cf block diagram,
Fig. 1
).
Memory (104 bits) is divided into the following functional areas
IROM
This area contains u nalterable
chip data
(eg applicat ion, design status).
Part of the data is entered by way of a ROM mask and the remainder
when testing. Both parts are unalterable.
II PROM
In this area the user can enter
card data
for a particular application. A
control flag can be set to safeguard this area against alteration.
III PROM/EEPROM
This area contains the
count data
and stores the current count in
nonvolatile memory. The individual counter stages with carry can be
erased (ie EEPROM), only the uppermost counter stage not being
erasable (ie PROM).
Before the control flag is s et, part of the E EPROM area c ontains a sec ret
transport code
. Another part serves as an
error counter
.
Function of the PROM area:
1 bit:
Control flag
3 bits:
Test bits
for manufacturer
4 bits: for user
In the condition as supplied, the transport co de and the error counter are activat ed. The chip can only be
read (except for the transport-code area) and only the error counter can be written.
Following correct entry of the transport code, the entire memor y can be read and areas II and III can be
written and EEPROM part of area III can be erased.
