Register Map

Table 7-1 list the register maps for programming the MC121-Q1 in test programming mode and OTP programming mode. The USER_OTP map (addresses 0x00 to 0x1B) includes OTP registers available for programming during prototyping and end-system production. The USR_TM register map (addresses 0x20 to 0x26) offer configurations to allow system designers to read faults and speed or configure device settings like speed input during system prototyping and development. Burned OTP registers keep written data after power cycle. After burning OTP, the registers can receive new data in test mode, but the burned OTP values are the device defaults when the device power cycles. The test mode registers, USR_TM are not OTP memory registers and are reset during a power cycle.
