User Program Mode
When set to user program mode, the chip can program and erase its flash memory by executing a
user program/erase control program. Therefore, on-board reprogramming of the on-chip flash
memory can be carried out by providing on-board means of FWE control and supply of
programming data, and storing a program/erase control program in part of the program area as
necessary.
In this mode, the chip starts up in mode 1 and applies a high level to the FWE pin.
The flash memory itself cannot be read while the SWE bit is set to 1 to perform programming or
erasing, so the control program that performs programming and erasing should be run in on-chip
RAM or external memory.
Figure 7.11 shows the procedure for executing the program/erase control program when
transferred to on-chip RAM.

Note:
Do not apply a constant high level to the FWE pin. Apply a high level to the FWE pin only
when the flash memory is programmed or erased. Also, while a high level is applied to the
FWE pin, the watchdog timer should be activated to prevent overprogramming or
overerasing due to program runaway, etc.
