AP1629

The AP1629 is designed as one kind of in-system programming of C163 flash device that provides 128 KBytes Flash memory on-chip. This application note gives hints and examples for in-system programming of C163 Flash devices. In-system programming is supported by the Windows-based OTP/ Flash memory programming tool "Memtool".

The flash memory of the AP1629 can be programmed both in an appropiate programming board (not available yet) and in the target system which provides a lot of flexibility. As long as the C163 Flash has no on-chip (or in the flash memory pre-programmed) bootstrap loader may it is necessary to load and start the programming code from external memory or to program the flash before soldering. Any code that programs or erases flash memory locations must be executed from memory outside the on-chip flash memory itself (on-chip RAM or external memory).
