12.1 Outline of the Mask Data Checker winmdc

The Mask Data Checker winmdc is the software tool for checking the format of each generated file and
creating the files necessary to generate mask patterns. winmdc checks the HEX files of the code ROM and
data ROM generated by the HEX converter hx63, the function option document file generated by the
function option generator winfog, and the segment option document file generated by the segment
option generator winsog. The winmdc also has a function for restoring the created mask data file into the
original file format.
