A variety of packaging options are available which should be clarified before Read MCU PIC16F874 Eeprom. Depending on application and production requirements, the proper device option can be selected using the information in this section. When placing orders, please use the PIC12C5XX Product Identification System at the back of this data sheet to specify the correct part number. The UV erasable version, offered in ceramic side brazed package, is optimal for prototype development and pilot programs after Read IC PIC12C508A Flash.
The UV erasable version can be erased and reprogrammed to any of the configuration modes.
Microchip’s PICSTART® PLUS and PRO MATE® programmers all support programming of the PIC12C5XX.
Third party programmers also are available; refer to the Microchip Third Party Guide for a list of sources. The availability of OTP devices is especially useful for customers who need the flexibility for frequent code updates or small volume applications.
The OTP devices, packaged in plastic packages permit the user to program them once. In addition to the program memory, the configuration bits must also be programmed before Read IC PIC12C508A Flash.
Microchip offers a QTP Programming Service for factory production orders. This service is made available for users who choose not to program a medium to high quantity of units and whose code patterns have stabilized in the process of Extract IC PIC16F884 Code.
The devices are identical to the OTP devices but with all EPROM locations and fuse options already programmed by the factory. Certain code and prototype verification procedures do apply before production shipments are available. Please contact your local Microchip Technology sales office for more details.
Microchip offers a unique programming service where a few user-defined locations in each device are programmed with different serial numbers. The serial numbers may be random, pseudo-random or sequential.
Serial programming allows each device to have a unique number which can serve as an entry-code, password or ID number. Microchip offers masked ROM to give the customer a low cost option for high volume, mature products.
