Object Mode
Object mode programming is invoked when one or more bits are programmed to zero
in the B-half of the programming region (A3 = 1).
Object mode allows up to 1KB to be stored in a programming region. Multiple regions
are used to store more than 1KB of information. If the object is less than 1KB, the un-
used content will remain as 0xFFFF (erased).
Object mode supports the following programming methods:
• Buffered programming (00E9h/00D0h)
• Buffered enhanced factory programming (0080h/00D0h)
Single-word programming (0041h) is not supported in object mode. To perform multi-
ple PROGRAM operations within a programming region, control mode must be used.
