3. How to Write the Program
This chapter describes how to write programs with a PROM programmer. For the operation of the
PROM programmer, refer to the user's manual of the PROM programmer.
3.1 Programming Procedures
Follow these procedures (1) through (8) to write programs into the MCU.
(1) Read the program.
1) For M306V0EE, M306V2EE
• OSD ROM, internal ROM: offset (80000h) required
2) For M306XXEC
• Internal ROM: offset (C0000h) required
3) For other MCUs
• Internal ROM: offset (E0000h) required
Read the program into the PROM programmer.
(2) Attach the adapter to the PROM programmer. (See section 3.2)
(3) Set the JP1 switch. (See section 3.3)
(4) Insert the MCU into the adapter. (See section 3.4)
(5) Set the programming area. (See section 3.5)
*1
Set the MCU's programming area with the PROM programmer.
(6) Check to erase the programming area.
*2
Using the PROM programmer's erase check function, check whether data can be written into
the MCU's programming area.
(7) Write the program into the MCU.
*2
Write the program into the programming area of the MCU using the PROM programmer.
(8) Check to verify the programming area.
*2
Check to verify the programming area of the MCU using the PROM programmer. Check
whether the program is written into the MCU correctly.
Notes:
*1 Be sure to set the programming area. Otherwise the mode's shift to the programming mode may
not be performed successfully. The erase check function etc. may not also be performed
completely.
*2 Some PROM programmers perform the steps (6) through (8) automatically.
( 7 / 20 )
3.2 Attaching Adapter to PROM Programmer
As shown in Figure 3.1, attach the pin No. 1 of the PROM programmer connector, PCA7402E or
PCA7476E (standard-pitch 32-pin pin-header mounted) to the No.1 pin of the IC socket of the PROM
programmer.
Be careful when attaching to the PROM programmer because an incorrect
insertion can cause fatal damage to the MCU.

3.3 Setting the Switch
The position of the JP1 and its default setting are shown in Figure 3.2. For how to set the switch, see
Table 3.1.

GroupExampleJP1
Other than M16C/6VM30612E4-XXXFP1M
M16C/6VM306V2EEFP4M
CAUTION
Cautions for Setting the Switch:
•Make the setting properly, because an incorrect setting can cause fatal damage to the
MCU.
• Select the proper programming mode of the PROM programmer.
• An example setting shown in Figure 3.2 is also applied to the PCA7412L-100,
PCA7412G-100, and PCA7413F-80.
•To use this product in M27C201 mode, set the JP1 switch to the 1M side.
( 9 / 20 )
3.4 Inserting an MCU into the Adapter
As shown in Figure 3.3, insert the MCU into the IC socket aligning the No. 1 pin. This also applies
to the PCA7412L-100, PCA7412G-100, and PCA7413F-80.
Be careful when inserting the MCU because an incorrect insertion can cause fatal
damage to the MCU.

CAUTION
Caution to Be Taken for Handling an MCU:
• Do not touch the connector in the IC socket and the pins on the PROM programmer
connector. Otherwise it can cause an electrical insulation failure because of dirt.
When not using, attach the connector pins of this product to the conductive sponge
as it was shipped from the factory.
Caution When Opening and Closing the IC Socket:
• When opening and closing the IC socket, hold the adapter horizontally as shown in
Figure 3.4. Otherwise the inside of the IC socket may become damaged and cause
an electrical insulation failure.

5. Troubleshooting
The table below summarizes errors to be checked carefully before you determine them to be a fault.
5.1 Errors That Occur When Writing to PROM
(1) When Newly Purchased
Cause
Is the adapter attached to the correct position of the PROM
programmer?
Programming adapter
PROM programmer
Contact failure
Is the switch on the PROM programmer set properly?
Is the MCU attached to the correct position?
Is the area specification set correctly?
Is the correct device selected?
The IC socket of the PROM programmer may be stained. The
socket needs replacing.
(2) Previously Written Normally
Cause
Is the adapter attached to the correct position of the PROM
programmer?

Contact failure
The PROM programmer connector at which the PROM
programmer is contacted may be stained. Clean it with
alcohol, etc.
5.2 When MCUs Do Not Function Normally
If the program operates normally on the emulator, but when the MCU that has normally been written
is attached the same program does not function normally.
(1) Is the offset address specified correctly when copying data into the PROM programmer?
(2) In the emulator, NOPs are often inserted in the area where the program has not been read, therefore
the program happens to appear functioning normally even though it may have gone wild. Check
your program again.
(3) The emulator and the actual MCU may differ in characteristics. Consult the user's manual of the
emulation pod to check for differences in characteristics again.

5.3 Other Precautions
(1) About the Recommended PROM Programmers
Not all PROM programmers available on the market can be checked to see if they function properly.
There are several PROM programmers that we have verified to function properly. These products are
listed as recommended PROM programmers in this user's manual. Other PROM programmers may
also be used providing that you verified them to function properly.
Note: No matter which type of the PROM programmer you use, it is necessary to verify completion
of programming by executing screening, etc. that are stipulated for each MCU used.
(2) About Reading Out of Device Identification Code *
Please do not use the PROM programmer's device identification code readout function.
Using this function may break down the MCU. The device identification code is included in EPROM
to indicate the manufacturer code and device code; it is not included in the MCU.
*1 Depending on PROM programmer manufacturers, this may be referred to by another name (e.g.
ID code).
