Modified Quick-Pulse Algorithm - Intel 8XC196NT User Manual

You can use the following simplified equation to calculate the PPW_VALUE for a 100-µs pulse
width at various frequencies:
(
PPW_VALUE
=
PPW (or SP_PPW)
The PPW register is loaded from the external EPROM (locations 14H and 15H) in auto programming
mode. The SP_PPW register is loaded from the internal test ROM in serial port programming mode.
The default pulse width for serial port programming is longer than required, so you should change the
value before beginning to program the device. (See "Changing Serial Port Programming Defaults" on
page 15-33.) The PPW_VALUE determines the programming pulse width, which must be at least
100 µs for successful programming.

15.5 MODIFIED QUICK-PULSE ALGORITHM

Both the slave and auto programming routines use the modified quick-pulse algorithm (Figure
15-3). The modified quick-pulse algorithm sends programming pulses to each OTPROM word
location. After the required number of programming pulses, a verification routine compares the
contents of the programmed location to the input data. A verification error deasserts the PVER
signal, but does not stop the programming routine. This process repeats until each OTPROM
word has been programmed and verified. Intel guarantees lifetime data retention for a device pro-
grammed with the modified quick-pulse algorithm.

PPW_VALUE.
This value establishes the programming pulse width for auto programming
or serial port programming. For a 100-µs pulse width, use the following
formula and round the result to the next higher integer. For auto
programming, write this value to the external EPROM (see "Auto
Programming Procedure" on page 15-29). For serial port programming,
write this value to the internal memory (see "Changing Serial Port
Programming Defaults" on page 15-33).
