AT89C5132

Functional

Description

The AT89C5132 USB Bootloader facilitates In-System Programming (ISP) and In-Application

Programming.

In-System

Programming

Capability

In-System Programming allows the user to program or reprogram the microcontroller on-chip

Flash memory without removing it from the system and without the need of a pre-programmed

application.

The USB bootloader can manage a communication with a host through the USB bus. It can also

access and perform requested operations on the on-chip Flash memory.

In-Application

Programming or

Self- Programming

Capability

IAP allows the reprogramming of the microcontroller on-chip Flash memory without removing it

from the system and while the embedded application is running.

The USB bootloader contains some Application Programming Interface routines named API rou-

tines allowing IAP by using the user’s firmware.

Block Diagram

This section describes the different parts of the USB bootloader. Figure 1 shows the on-chip

bootloader and IAP processes.
