IMPORTANT INFORMATION
READ FIRST
• READ this user's manual before using this adapter board.
• KEEP the user's manual handy for future reference.
• Do not attempt to use the adapter board until you fully understand its mechanism.
Adapter Board:
Throughout this document, the term "adapter board" shall be defined as the adapter board main
unit and attached cables manufactured by Renesas Technology Corp.
The user system or a host computer is not included in this definition.
Purpose of the Adapter Board:
The adapter board, which is connected between a host computer and the user system, has a
function that can write/erase user application programs on the flash memory incorporated in the
flash microcomputer on the user system (on-board) when it is used with the on-board
programming tool.
Therefore, the burden on the peripheral circuit required during on-board programming can be
minimized. This board can be used for all flash microcomputers incorporating a flash memory
using Vcc and PVcc and cannot be used for flash microcomputers in which 12 V is applied to Vpp
pin and MD pin.
This adapter board must only be used for the above purpose.
Limited Applications:
This adapter board is not authorized for use in MEDICAL, atomic energy, aeronautical or
space technology applications without consent of the appropriate officer of a Renesas sales
company. Such use includes, but is not limited to, use in life support systems. Buyers of this
adapter board must notify the relevant Renesas sales offices before planning to use the product in
such applications.
Improvement Policy:
Renesas Technology Corp. (including its subsidiaries, hereafter collectively referred to as
Renesas) pursues a policy of continuing improvement in design, performance, and safety of the
adapter board. Renesas reserves the right to change, wholly or partially, the specifications, design,
user's manual, and other documentation at any time without notice.
Rev. 1.00 Oct. 02, 2009 Page v of x
REJ10J2064-0100
Target User of the Adapter board:
This adapter board should only be used by those who have carefully read and thoroughly
understood the information and restrictions contained in the user's manual. Do not attempt to use
the adapter board until you fully understand its mechanism.
It is highly recommended that first-time users be instructed by users that are well versed in the
operation of the adapter board.
State Law:
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which may vary from
state to state.
The Warranty is Void in the Following Cases:
Renesas shall have no liability or legal responsibility for any problems caused by misuse,
abuse, misapplication, neglect, improper handling, installation, repair or modifications of the
adapter board without Renesas's prior written consent or any problems caused by the user system.
All Rights Reserved:
This user's manual and adapter board are copyrighted and all rights are reserved by Renesas.
No part of this user's manual, all or part, may be reproduced or duplicated in any form, in hardcopy or machine-readable form, by any means available without Renesas's prior written consent.
Other Important Things to Keep in Mind:
1. Circuitry and other examples described herein are meant merely to indicate the characteristics
and performance of Renesas's semiconductor products. Renesas assumes no responsibility for
any intellectual property claims or other problems that may result from applications based on
the examples described herein.
2. No license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patents or other rights of any third
party or Renesas.
Figures:
Some figures in this user's manual may show items different from your actual system.
Limited Anticipation of Danger:
Renesas cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
The warnings in this user's manual and on the adapter board are therefore not all inclusive.
Therefore, you must use the adapter board safely at your own risk.

WARNING
Observe the precautions listed below. Failure to do so will
result in a FIRE HAZARD and will damage the user system and
the adapter board or will result in PERSONAL INJURY.
The USER PROGRAM will be LOST.
1. Always switch OFF the adapter board and user system before
connecting or disconnecting any CABLES, PARTS, or cable
head.
2. Before connecting, always make sure that pin 1 on both sides
are correctly aligned.
3. The adapter board can be used for flash microcomputers
to which Vcc = 2.7 V to 5.25 V, PVcc = 2.7 V to 5.25 V is
supplied from a single power source.
The adapter board cannot be used for flash microcomputers
in which 12 V is applied to both the Vpp pin and MD pin.
The values of Vcc and PVcc must not exceed the guaranteed
operation ranges.
