About this manual

This document details the Serial Test Controller Programming (STCP) technique, which allows ST7 devices to be programmed directly on a user board. It outlines the benefits of this method over traditional EPROM programming boards, including reduced time-to-market, cost reduction, enhanced security through custom key codes, and flexibility for field calibration.
