To our customers,
Old Company Name in Catalogs and Other Documents
On April 1st, 2010, NEC Electronics Corporation merged with Renesas Technology
Corporation, and Renesas Electronics Corporation took over all the business of both
companies. Therefore, although the old company name remains in this document, it is a valid
Renesas Electronics document. We appreciate your understanding.

4. How to Write the Program
This chapter describes how to write programs using a PROM programmer. For details on how to
operate the PROM programmer, refer to the user's manual of the PROM programmer.
4.1 Programming Procedures
Follow procedures (1) to (9) to write programs into the MCU.
(1) Read the program into the PROM programmer (800016 offset required).
(2) Select a PROM programmer connector (PCA7402D or PCA7402E). (See Section 4.2)
(3) Attach the adapter to the PROM programmer. (See Section 4.4)
(4) Set the jumper switches (SW1, SW2 and SW3). (See Section 4.3)
(5) Insert the MCU into the adapter. (See Section 4.5)
(6) Specify the programming area of the MCU using the PROM programmer. (See Section 4.8)
(7) Using the PROM programmer's erase check function, check whether data can be written into
the programming area of the MCU. *
(8) Write the program into the programming area of the MCU using the PROM programmer. *
(9) Verify the programming area of the MCU using the PROM programmer to check whether the
program is written into the MCU correctly. *
Notes:
* Some PROM programmers perform the steps (7) through (9) automatically.
* 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.
( 8 / 16 )
4.2 Selecting a PROM Programmer Connector
Select a PROM programmer connector (PCA7402D or PCA7402E) according to the ROM capacity
of your MCU.
(1) For MCU 32KB or less: PCA7402D (for 256K bit mode)
(2) For MCU 32KB or more: PCA7402E (for 1M bit mode)
e.g.) For the M38B59EFFP and M38B59EFFS, use the PCA7402E.
Figure 4.1 shows the PROM programmer connectors.
Figure 4.1 Selecting a PROM programmer connector
( 9 / 16 )
4.3 Setting the Jumper Switches
(1) Jumper switch SW1
Set the SW1 according to the output type of MCU's ports P20 - P23 (data buses D0-D3, No. 64-61
pins). For setting, see Table 4.1 and Figure 4.2.
• Ports P20 - P23: CMOS output..............................................................................SW1: CMOS
• Ports P20 - P23: Pch output ...................................................................................SW1: Pch
• Ports P20 - P23: Nch output ..................................................................................SW1: Nch
(2) Jumper switch SW2
Set the SW2 according to the output type of MCU's ports P24 - P27 (data buses D4-D7, No. 60-57
pins). For setting, see Table 4.1 and Figure 4.2.
• Ports P24 - P27: CMOS output..............................................................................SW2: CMOS
• Ports P24 - P27: Pch output ...................................................................................SW2: Pch
• Ports P24 - P27: Nch output ..................................................................................SW2: Nch
(3) Jumper switch SW3
How to set the SW3 is shown below.
•When No. 12 pin of the MCU is dedicated to pin XCIN .................................................................. SW3: ON
• When pin XCIN also serves as an I/O port (e.g. P41/XCIN) .....................................SW3: OFF
•When there is no pin XCIN ............................................................................................................................................. SW3: OFF

4.4 Attaching the Adapter to a PROM Programmer
(1) For the PCA7402D
Attach the pin No. 1 of the PCA7402D PROM programmer connector (standard-pitch 28-pin pin-
header mounted) to the pin No. 1 of the IC socket of the PROM programmer.
Be careful when attaching the adapter because incorrect insertion can cause fatal
damage to the MCU.
Same for the PCA7438L-80A
Figure 4.3 Attaching the adapter to the PROM programmer (PCA7402D)
(2) For the PCA7402E
Attach the pin No. 1 of the PCA7402E PROM programmer connector (standard-pitch 32-pin pin-
header mounted) to the pin No. 1 of the IC socket of the PROM programmer.
Be careful when attaching the adapter because incorrect insertion can cause fatal
damage to the MCU.
Same for the PCA7438L-80A

( 11 / 16 )
4.5 Inserting an MCU into the Programming Adapter
As shown in Figure 4.5, insert the MCU into the IC socket, with the pin No. 1 of the MCU matched
to the pin No. 1 of the IC socket on the PCA7438F-80A/PCA7438L-80A.
Be careful when inserting the MCU because incorrect insertion can cause fatal
damage to the MCU.

4.6 Precautions When Opening and Closing the IC Socket
When opening and closing the IC socket, hold the adapter horizontally as shown in Figure 4.6.
Otherwise the inside of the IC socket may become damaged and cause an electrical insulation failure.
Figure 4.6 Holding the adapter in a horizontal position
4.7 Precautions When Handling the Adapter
Do not touch the connector in the IC socket and the pins on the PROM programmer connector,
otherwise it 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.
