Access of Version Bytes
The C513AO-2E provides three version bytes at address locations FCH, FDH, and FEH. The
information stored in the version bytes is defined by the mask of each microcontroller step,
Therefore, the version bytes can be read, but not written. The three version bytes hold information
such as manufacturer code, device type, and stepping code.
To read the version bytes, the control lines must be used in accordance with Table 10-2 and
Figure 10-9. The address of the version byte must be applied at the Port 1 address lines. PALE
must not be activated.

Read Version Byte(s) Waveform
Version bytes are typically used by programming systems for adapting the programming firmware
to specific device characteristics such as OTP size etc.
Note: The three version bytes are implemented in such a way that they also can be read during
Normal Program Execution Mode as a mapped register with bit RMAP in SFR SYSCON set.
The addresses of the version bytes in Normal Mode are identical to the addresses which are
used in Programming Mode. Therefore, in normal operating mode of the C513AO-2E, the
SFR locations which hold the version bytes are referenced also as version registers.
