||||
chips, allowing a 32KB chip to be programmed in just a few seconds.
|

|

## PromDevice27
|
||||
|
||||
The 27C EPROMs use a variety of programming algorithms. Code exists for some of these,
|
||||
but very few of the chips have been tested.
|
||||
|
||||
Most, if not all, 27C series chips are not 5V only and require a higher voltage to program
|
||||
them. Some need the voltage constantly applied while programming and others use high
|
||||
voltage pulses for each byte. For constant voltage chips, it is probably easiest to just
|
||||
add an external power supply and manually assert the voltage before starting a write. For
|
||||
those with switched voltages, some elements of the 8755 hardware may be leveraged to build
|
||||
a version of the programmer that supports these chips.

## PromDeviceSST39SF
|
||||
|
||||
The SST39SF0x0 NOR Flash chips use fixed 4KB sectors that must be manually erased before a new program
|
||||
operation, but the code manages this transparently. Whenever a write is started to a new
|
||||
segment, the driver first initiates an erase of that sector. A second write to the same
|
||||
sector will not cause an erase, so it is possible to write to a segment multiple times
|
||||
with no additional steps as long as the writes are to different parts of the sector. For
|
||||
example, 256 bytes could be written to the start of a sector from one file and then 512
|
||||
bytes could be written to the end of the sector from another file.

## PromDevice27
|
||||
|
||||
The 27C supports Flash, EEPROM, and EPROM chips that use a variety of programming algorithms.
|
||||
|
||||
Most, if not all, 27C series chips are not 5V-only and require a higher voltage to program
|
||||
or erase. This driver supports chips that need the voltage constantly applied while
|
||||
programming or erasing. The programming voltages are provided by an external power supply
|
||||
and manually switched before starting a write or erase operation. See the [TommyPROM32
|
||||
hardware](pcb#TommyPROM32) for a diode circuit that allows the programming voltage to be
|
||||
switched between Vcc and a higher voltage.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the [Chip Details](#27c-and-27e-series-eproms-and-flash) for the high voltage
|
||||
connections for a particular chip or consult your data sheet.

Chips that use high voltage pulses for each byte are not supported. For those chips, some

|

The Winbond W27C257 and W27E257 appear to be identical 32Kx8 EEPROMs. The 27C version
|
||||
has been tested. The Winbond W27C512 is a 64Kx8 EEPROM with no dedicated _VPP_ pin.
|
||||
|
||||
The 257 EEPROMs have a _VPP_ pin that needs a constant 12V during programming. Unlike the
|

newer 28C EEPROMs, these chips do not automatically erase before writing to a location.

Instead, the entire chip is erased by applying 14V to _VPP_ and _A9_ and then pulsing

_CE_.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the 257 chips, the W27C512 does not have a dedicated pin for the programming
|
||||
voltage and instead uses the OE pin to place the chip in programming mode. The verify
|
||||
operation requires that the OE pin be switched to _LOW_ and there is no hardware support
|
||||
for this, so the current code supports the 512 chip by doing a single write cycle with no
|
||||
verify.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the chips use a constant high voltage for programming instead of a pulse, an
|
||||
external power supply and two diodes can be used to supply either 5V or 12V to the
|

pins for programming and erasing.

Note that the W27x257 chip are almost a drop-in replacement for the 28C256. The _WE_,
