Allan,

Thank you for your help!

I know that the problem comes from our design...
I was just wondering if it has  been shared but someone else, someone who h=

About EPE, on some of our PCBs EPEE is directly connected to 3.3V, and VPP =

Flash programming is tested over temperature in the factory. Could it be re=

Subject: [MPC500] MPC555 Flash programming

Hello,

We have for many years a problem when programmming the MPC555 internal Flas=
h module : it seems to be quiet sensitive to ambient temperature...

Not all our boards are sensitive alike, but all are plagued by this problem=
. Some would require heating the chip, some would require cooling it.

We are using Macraigor's Flash Programmer software with a Wiggler or Raven.

As anyone also encoutered this type of problem?
As anyone an idea what the cause of the problem is, and how to solve it?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Jean-Christophe MATHAE
