Data Word Width
The word width of the data to be used during a device operation. For 8-
bit (or above) devices, the maximum is 64, and the minimum word width
is equal to the device width. For 4-bit devices, the word width can be 4, 8,
16, or 32. This value should match the word width of the data bus in the
target system for the device being programmed.
Destination
The place where you are sending something. The “something” you are
sending to the destination is almost always data. The destination you are
sending the data to can be RAM, a disk file, or one of the programmer’s
serial ports.
Device Begin Address
The first hexadecimal address of device data to use for a device operation.
If programming, it represents the first address to program. If verifying, it
represents the first address to verify.
Device Block Size
The size of device data to be used in device operations.
Device Operation
Usually a term that refers to loading, programming, or verifying.
However it can also refer to other available commands, such as device
checks and electronic erasing.
Device Word Width
The number of bits in the data word of the device.
DIP
An acronym for Dual In-line Package, a type of device package. SDIP
(Shrink Dual Inline Package) is similar to DIP but with more leads at
tighter pitch (a separate adapter is required to program SDIPs).
Dialog Window
The largest window on the screen. The dialog window displays different
information and system parameters, depending on the selected
command.
Download Data
A file operation that moves a data file from a host computer to the
programmer’s RAM or disk.
Download Echoing
Displays the data being downloaded.
Download Host Command
A command that is sent from the programmer to the host during a
download. The command tells the host to begin sending data to the
programmer.
E-MICRO
An acronym for Programmable Microcontroller, a type of device
technology.
EPROM
An acronym for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. (Usually
refers to UV erasable memories.)
EEPROM
An acronym for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only
Memory. The device can be either completely or partially erased
electrically in circuit or on the programmer.
Electronic ID
The combination of bytes that identify the device number and
manufacturer of a programmable device.
Enhanced Security Fuse
Capability
Found on EMICROs, the Enhanced Security Fuse Capability allows
security fuse data to be stored in a data file. For more information, or to
see if a device supports this capability, see the device manufacturer’s data
book.
ESD
An acronym for Electro-Static Discharge.
