REMOTE CONTROLLER
The µPD17P236 is a model of the µPD17236 with a one-time PROM instead of an internal mask ROM.

production of the µPD17230, 17231, 17232, 17233, 17234, 17235, or 17236 systems.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN µPD17236 AND µPD17P236
µPD17P236 is equipped with PROM to which data can be written by the user instead of the internal mask ROM
(program memory) of the µPD17236.
Table 1-1 shows the differences between the µPD17236 and µPD17P236.
The CPU functions and internal hardware of the µPD17P236, 17230, 17231, 17232, 17233, 17234, 17235, and
17236 are identical. Therefore, the µPD17P236 can be used to evaluate the program developed for the µPD17230,
17231, 17232, 17233, 17234, 17235, and 17236 system. Note, however, that some of the electrical specifications
such as supply current and low-voltage detection voltage of the µPD17P236 are different from those of the
µPD17230, 17231, 17232, 17233, 17234, 17235, and 17236.

2.5 Notes on Using the RESET and INT Pins
In addition to the functions shown in 2. PIN FUNCTIONS, the RESET pin also has the function of setting a test mode
(for IC testing) in which the internal operations of the µPD17P236 are tested.
When a voltage higher than VDD is applied to either of these pins, the test mode is set. This means that, even during
normal operation, the µPD17P236 may be set in the test mode if noise exceeding VDD is applied.
For example, if the wiring length of the RESET or INT pin is too long, noise superimposed on the wiring line of the pin
may cause the above problem.
Therefore, keep the wiring length of these pins as short as possible to suppress the noise; otherwise, take noise
preventive measures as shown below by using external components.
• Connect capacitor between VDD
• Connect diode with low VF between VDD

3. WRITING AND VERIFYING ONE-TIME PROM (PROGRAM MEMORY)
The program memory of the µPD17P236 is a one-time PROM of 16,384 × 16 bits.
To write or verify this one-time PROM, the pins shown in Table 3-1 are used. Note that no address input pin
is used. Instead, the address is updated by using the clock input from the CLK pin.
Table 3-1. Pins Used to Write/Verify Program Memory
Pin Name
Function
VPP
Supplies voltage when writing/verifying program memory.
Apply +12.5 V to this pin.
VDD
Power supply.
Supply +6 V to this pin when writing/verifying program memory.
CLK
Inputs clock to update address when writing/verifying program memory.
By inputting pulse four times to CLK pin, address of program memory is updated.
MD0-MD 3
Input to select operation mode when writing/verifying program memory.
D0-D7
Inputs/outputs 8-bit data when writing/verifying program memory.
3.1 Operating Mode When Writing/Verifying Program Memory
The µPD17P236 is set in the program memory write/verify mode when +6 V is applied to the VDD pin and +12.5
V is applied to the VPP pin after the µPD17P236 has been in the reset status (VDD = 5 V, RESET = 0 V) for a specific
time. In this mode, the operating modes shown in Table 3-2 can be set by setting the MD0 through MD 3 pins. Leave
all the pins other than those shown in Table 3-1 unconnected or connect them to GND via pull-down resistor
(470 Ω). (See PIN CONFIGURATION (2) PROM programming mode.)

3.2 Program Memory Writing Procedure
The program memory is written at high speed in the following procedure.
(1)
Pull down the pins not used to GND via resistor. Keep the CLK pin low.
(2)
Supply 5 V to the V DD pin. Keep the V PP pin low.
(3)
Supply 5 V to the V PP pin after waiting for 10 µ s.
(4)
Set the program memory address 0 clear mode by using the mode setting pins.

Caution Product quality may suffer if the absolute maximum rating is exceeded even momentarily for any
parameter. That is, the absolute maximum ratings are rated values at which the product is on
the verge of suffering physical damage, and therefore the product must be used under conditions
that ensure that the absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded.

Notes 1. The oscillation frequency only indicates the oscillator characteristics.
2. The oscillation stabilization time is necessary for oscillation to be stabilized, after VDD application or
STOP mode release.
Caution To use a system clock oscillator circuit, perform the wiring in the area enclosed by the dotted
line in the above figure as follows, to avoid adverse wiring capacitance influences:
• Keep wiring length as short as possible.
• Do not cross a signal line with some other signal lines. Do not route the wiring in the vicinity
of lines through which a large current flows.
• Always keep the oscillator capacitor ground at the same potential as GND. Do not ground the
capacitor to a ground pattern, through which a large current flows.
• Do not extract signals from the oscillator.

For the resonator selection and oscillator constant, customers are requested to either evaluate the

APPENDIX. DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
To develop the programs for the µPD17P236 subseries, the following development tools are available:
Hardware
Name
Remarks
IE-17K and IE-17K-ET are the in-circuit emulators used in common with the 17K series
microcontroller.
IE-17K and IE-17K-ET are connected to a PC-9800 series or IBM PC/ATTM compatible machines
as the host machine with RS-232C.
By using these in-circuit emulators with a system evaluation board corresponding to the
microcomputer, the emulators can emulate the microcomputer. A higher level debugging
environment can be provided by using man-machine interface SIMPLEHOST TM.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1
PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.
2
HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note:
No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided
to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence
causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels
of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused
pin should be connected to V DD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.
3
STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.
