 +
==Programming Methods==
 +
 +
*There are 2 programming methods: In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) and Run-Time Self-Programming (RTSP)
 +
*ICSP allows the devices to be programmed after being placed in a circuit board.
 +
*RTSP allows the devices to be programmed when an embedded program is already in operation.
 +
 +
===ICSP===
 +
*Two types of ICSP are available: '''ICSP''' and '''Enhanced ICSP'''. Both of them require setting ^MCLR to V<sub>IHH</sub> (9V – 13.25V).
 +
*Standard ICSP
 +
**Use external programmer (e.g. MPLAB<sup>®</sup> ICD 2, MPLAB<sup>®</sup> PM3 or PRO MATE<sup>®</sup> II) only.
 +
**Required low-level programming to erase, program and verify the chip.
 +
**Slower, because codes are serially executed.
 +
**Refer to ''Section 11'' for programming in ICSP.
 +
**Program memory can be erased using ''Normal-Voltage'' (4.5 – 5.5V) or ''Low-Voltage'' (2.5V – 4.5V).
 +
 +
*Enhanced ICSP
 +
**Use external programmer and '''Programming Executive''' (PE).
 +
**PE is stored in the on-chip memory.
 +
**PE allows faster programming.
 +
**PE can be downloaded to the chip by external programmer using the standard ICSP method.
 +
**PE contains a small command set to erase, program and verify the chip, avoiding the need of low-level programming.
 +
**Refer to ''Section 8'' for programming the PE.
