M34502T-MCU
Remodeling Announcement

This is to announce that MCU board M34502T-MCU for the 4501, 4502, 4506, 4507, and 4580 groups in the 4500 MCU series will be remodeled.



  1. Products Concerned
    Product TypeDescription
    M34502T-MCU MCU board for 4501, 4502, 4506, 4507, and 4580 groups in 4500 series
    • Serial Nos. 9JS001 -- 9JS040 fabricated in Oct. 1999 (40 pieces)
    • Serial Nos. 0GS001 -- 0GS030 fabricated in July. 2000 (30 pieces)

  2. Problem
    When the "POF2" instruction is executed in the user's program, the evaluation MCU mounted on the M34502T-MCU board is put into RAM backup mode; however, the emulator and the emulation circuit remain in the usual mode of operation, which causes the following symptoms to appear:
    (1) In the status LEDs on the PC4504 emulator, POF is kept turned off.
    (2) Since the emulation circuit remains in the usual mode of operation, RAM backup mode cannot be exited by the input to the D, P0, P1, or INT pin.


  3. Symptoms
    (1) When used for the 4501, 4502, and 4580 MCUs:
    * If the "POF2" instruction is executed, evaluation cannot be performed in RAM backup mode.
    * If the "POF" instruction is executed, however, evaluation will be made in the above mode.
    (2) When used for the 4506 and 4507 MCUs:
    *Evaluation cannot be performed in RAM backup mode.


  4. Cause
    Evaluation in RAM backup mode by executing the "POF2" instruction cannot be supported owing to the fault of the device mounted on M34502T-MCU that is used for decoding instructions.
