Parallel Programming
The DS89C420 allows parallel programming of its internal flash memory compatible with standard flash
or EPROM programmers. In parallel programming mode, a mass-erase command is used to erase all
memory locations in the 16kB program memory, the security block, and the memory bank select. Erasing
the memory bank select sets it to the default state; the memory bank select cannot be altered otherwise. If
lock bit LB2 has not been programmed, the program code can be read back for verification. The state of
the lock bits can also be verified directly in the parallel programming mode. One instruction is used to
read signature information (at addresses 30, 31, and 60h). Separate instructions are used for the option
control register.
The following sequence can be used to program the flash memory in the parallel programming mode:
1) The DS89C420 is powered up and running at a clock speed between 4MHz and 6MHz.
2) Set RST = EA = 1 and PSEN = 0.
3) Apply the appropriate logic combination to pins P2.6, P2.7, P3.6, and P3.7 to select one of the flash
4) Pulse ALE/ PROG once to perform an erase/program operation.
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary.
