12. The programming program that includes the initialization routine and the erasing program that
includes the initialization routine are each 3 kbytes or less. Accordingly, when the CPU clock
frequency is 20 MHz, the download for each program takes approximately 200 µs at the
maximum.
13. A programming/erasing program for the flash memory used in a conventional F-ZTAT H8,
H8S microcomputer which does not support download of the on-chip program by setting the
SCO bit in FCCS to 1 cannot run in this LSI. Be sure to download the on-chip program to
execute programming/erasing of the flash memory in this F-ZTAT H8/H8S microcomputer.
14. Unlike a conventional F-ZTAT H8/H8S microcomputers, measures against a program crash
are not taken by WDT while programming/erasing and downloading a programming/erasing
program. When needed, measures should be taken by user. A periodic interrupt generated by
the WDT can be used as the measures, as an example. In this case, the interrupt generation
period should take into consideration time to program/erase the flash memory.
15. When downloading the programming/erasing program, do not clear the SCO bit in FCCS to 0
after immediately setting it to 1. Otherwise, download cannot be performed normally.
Immediately after executing the instruction to set the SCO bit to 1, dummy read of the FCCS
must be executed twice.
16. The contents of some registers are not saved in a programming/programming end/erasing
program. When needed, save registers in the procedure program.
