2 About EM78M611
General Description
The EM78M611 is a series of Universal Serial Bus 8-bit RISC Multi-Time Programming (MTP)
micro-controllers. It is specifically designed for USB low-speed device application and to support legacy
device such as keyboard. The EM78M611 also support one device address and three endpoints.
The EM78M611 is implemented on RISC architecture. It has five-level stack and eight interrupt
sources. The amount of General-purpose Input/Output pins is up to 31. Each device has 144 bytes SRAM
and is embedded with 4 bytes of E2PROM. The ROM size of the EM78M611 is 6K.
These series of chips have special features that accommodate your needs. These features are:
Dual Clock mode which allows the device to run on very low power saving frequency
Pattern Detecting Application function which is used in a serial transmission to count waveform
width
Width Modulation that can generate a duty-cycle-programmable signal
AD converter with up to 10 bits resolution.

7 Application Note
On-Board Programming with EM78M611
The following issues must be carefully noted during on-board programming with EM78M611:
1. Isolation of all programming signal pins from the surrounding circuit.
2. Minimum and maximum operating voltage for VNN, VDD and VPP.
3. Choose the right type of the resister card (XAP/XBP/XCP) for programming.
In a typical application circuit, each pin of the MCU may be connected with several active and/or
passive components. Any component that is still connected to programming pins during programming
could cause an MTP programming error. For example, capacitive loading on a programming signal pin
could negatively affect the programming signal required rise time. Resistive loading will reduce the
necessary programming signal voltages. Therefore, the first step to be taken when implementing the ICP
circuit is to isolate all the programming pins. When the EM78M611 is programmed, the P94/VPP pin must
be supplied with an external 10V DC level and the VNN pin must be supplied with an external –10V DC
level. The VPP pin of EM78M611 also functions as INPUT pin (P94) during normal operation, and is
normally connected to an external Pull-up/Pull-down resister. Therefore, it is recommended to disconnect
the resister to isolate the VPP pin. Another important issue to be noted is the power supply voltage. The
MTP programming specification states that the MCU should be programmed at 5V. When the application
circuit’s operating voltage is other than 5V, the VDD pin should be isolated.
MTP Programming
Precaution should also be exercised when performing MTP programming with its driver capabilities.
The MTPWTR is not designed to drive signals over long connectors. It is therefore recommended that the
cable length between the MTPWTR and the application circuit should be no longer than 20 centimeters. If
the cable length is too long, programming may fail due to signal attenuation.
