Field Programming of PICmicro OTP MCUs
An OTP device is not normally capable of being reprogrammed, but the PICmicro architecture
gives you this flexibility provided the size of your firmware is at least half that of the desired device
and the device is not code protected. If your target device does not have enough program mem-
ory, Microchip provides a wide spectrum of devices from 0.5K to 8K program memory with the
same set of peripheral features that will help meet the criteria.
The PIC16CXXX microcontrollers have two vectors, reset and interrupt, at locations 0x0000 and
0x0004. When the PICmicro encounters a reset or interrupt condition, the code located at one of
these two locations in program memory is executed. The first listing of
code that is first programmed into the PICmicro. The second listing of
code that is programmed into the PICmicro for the second time.
Example 28-2
originally goto Main (0x2808), is reprogrammed to all 0’s which happens to be a NOP instruction.
This location cannot be reprogrammed to the new opcode (0x2860) because the bits that are 0’s
cannot be reprogrammed to 1’s, only bits that are 1’s can be reprogrammed to 0’s. The next mem-
ory location 0x0001 was originally blank (all 1’s) and now becomes a goto Main (0x2860). When
a reset condition occurs, the PICmicro executes the instruction at location 0x0000 which is the
NOP , a completely benign instruction, and then executes the goto Main to start the execution of
code. The example also shows that all program memory locations after 0x005A are blank in the
original program so that the second time the PICmicro is programmed, the revised code can be
programmed at these locations. The same descriptions can be given for the interrupt vector at
location 0x0004.
This method changes slightly for PICmicros with >2K words of program memory. Each of the
