26.5 Erasure Procedure (

µ

PD78P054KK-T and 78P058KK-T Only)

With the

µ

PD78P054KK-T or 78P058KK-T, it is possible to erase ( or set all contents to FFH) the data contents

written in the program memory, and rewrite the memory.

The data can be erased by exposing the window to light with a wavelength of approximately 400 nm or shorter.

Typically, data is erased by 254-nm ultraviolet light rays. The minimum lighting level to completely erase the written

data is shown below.

or more

• Exposure time: 40 minutes or more (using a 12 mW/cm

ultraviolet lamp. A longer exposure time may be

required in case of deterioration of the ultraviolet lamp or dirt on the package window).

When erasing written data, remove any filter on the window and place the device within 2.5 cm of the lamp tube.

26.6 Opaque Film Masking the Window (

µ

PD78P054KK-T and 78P058KK-T Only)

To prevent unintentional erasure of the EPROM contents by light and to prevent internal circuits from mulfunction

due to light coming in through the erasure window, mask the window with opaque film after writing the EPROM.

26.7 Screening of One-Time PROM Versions

One-time PROM versions (

µ

PD78P054GC-3B9, 78P054GC-8BT, 78P054GK-BE9, 78P058GC-8BT, and

78P058YGC-8BT) cannot be fully tested by NEC before shipment due to the structure of one-time PROM. Therefore,

after users have written data into the PROM, screening should be implemented by user: that is, store devices at

high temperature for one day as specified below, and verify their contents after the devices have returned to room

temperature.

For users who do not wish to implement screening by themselves, NEC provides such users with a charged

service in which NEC performs a series of processes from writing one-time PROMs and screening them to verifying

their contents for users by request. The PROM version devices which provide this service are called QTOP

TM

microcontrollers. For details, please consult an NEC sales representative.
