2. Introduction The PCA7438F-64A and PCA7438H-64A are PROM programming adapters for 8-bit 38000 Series 38C1 Group MCUs. These adapters are tools that can be used to write a program into internal PROM of MCUs using a commercially available PROM programmer. This manual describes the specifications and the operation of PCA7438F-64A/PCA7438H-64A. Figure 2.1 shows the external view and the constituent parts of them.

4. How to Write the Program This chapter describes how to write programs using a PROM programmer. For details on how to operate the PROM programmer, refer to the user's manual of the PROM programmer. 4.1 Programming Procedures Follow procedures (1) to (7) to write programs into the MCU. (1) Read the program into the PROM programmer. (2) Attach the adapter to the PROM programmer. (See Section 4.2) (3) Insert the MCU into the adapter. (See Section 4.3) 1 (4) Specify the programming area of the MCU

4.2 Attaching the Adapter to a PROM Programmer As shown in Figure 4.1, attach the pin No. 1 of the PCA7402E PROM programmer connector (standard-pitch 32-pin pin-header mounted) to the pin No. 1 of the IC socket of the PROM programmer. Be careful when attaching the adapter because incorrect insertion can cause fatal damage to the MCU. Figure 4.1 Attaching the adapter to the PROM programmer 4.3 Inserting an MCU into the Programming Adapter As shown in Figure 4.2, insert the MCU into the IC socket,

4.4 Precautions When Handling the Adapter Do not touch the connector in the IC socket and the pins on the PROM programmer connector, otherwise it cause an electrical insulation failure because of dirt. When not using, attach the connector pins of this product to the conductive sponge as it was shipped from the factory. 4.5 Setting a Programming Area When writing the program into the MCU, be sure to set the programming area. And also, specify its device of the PROM programmer. Table 4.1 Programmi

7. Troubleshooting The table below summarizes errors to be checked carefully before you determine them to be a fault. 7.1 Errors That Occur When Writing to ROM 7.1.1 When Newly Purchased Cause Remedy See page Is the adapter attached to the correct position of the PROM 9 programmer? Programming adapter Is the MCU attached to the correct position? 9 Is the area specification set correctly? 10 PROM programmer Is the correct device selected? 10 The IC socket of the PROM programmer may be stained.

7.2 MCU Does Not Function Normally The program operates normally on the emulator, but when the MCU that has normally been written is attached the same program does not function normally. (1) Is the offset address specified correctly when copying data into the PROM programmer? (2) In the emulator, NOPs are often inserted in the area where the program has not been read, therefore the program happens to appear functioning normally even though it may have gone wild. Check your program again. (3) The
