4.11  Connecting the Emulator Port Pins 
Even when the emulator is not used, small shunt capacitors to ground (22 pF) should be used for protection 
from EMI as illustrated in Figure 37. Production boards should have the ICE_E pin connected to ground.

4.12  Flash Programming 
4.12.1  Flash Programming via the ICE Port 
Operational or test code can be programmed into the flash memory using either an in-circuit emulator or 
the Flash Programmer Module (TFP-2) available from Maxim. The flash programming procedure uses the 
E_RST, E_RXTX, and E_TCLK pins. 
4.12.2  Flash Programming via the SPI Port 
It is possible to erase, read and program the flash memory of the 71M6543 via the SPI port. See 2.5.12 
for a detailed description. 
4.13  MPU Demonstration Code 
All application-specific MPU functions mentioned in 4 Application Information are featured in the 
demonstration C source code supplied by Maxim. The code is available as part of the Demonstration Kit 
for the 71M6543. The Demonstration Kits come with the 71M6543 preprogrammed with demonstration 
firmware and mounted on a functional sample meter Demo Board. The Demo Boards allow for quick and 
efficient evaluation of the IC without having to write firmware or having to supply an in-circuit emulator 
(ICE).
