9.2 Zapping of the 90808

The permanent memory of the 90808 is built with zap cells.

The data output of an unprogrammed zap cell is 0. The data output is 1 when the cell is zapped.

It is not possible to reprogram a zap cell to 0. Only 1 bit can be zapped at a time.

You should use the normal mode (TC[5:0]=00h) and program 1 bit to '1' in the temporary memory.

Afterwards you need to increase the supply voltage (VCC_Z) to be able to zap the bit. The zapping starts

when OUT goes high (OUT_Z). There will flow a high current of approximately 200mA during the zapping.

The memlock-bit should be zapped as last bit, because it disables the programming.

The zap cells can also be read out by using mode 5 (TC[5:0]=05h).

One bit should be set to 1 in the temporary memory.

The supply current should be measured at the normal supply voltage.

A low current (ICC_R0) indicates that the zap cell is not programmed.

A high current (ICC_R1) indicates that the zap cell is programmed.
