9.16 In-Circuit Serial Programming™
PIC16CXXX microcontrollers can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices, and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
For complete details on serial programming, please
refer to the In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
Guide, (DS30277).
