Problem

Can I interrupt the programming of a MAX® 7000AE, MAX 7000B, and MAX 3000A device without damaging it?

Solution

Yes. MAX 7000AE, MAX 7000B, and MAX 3000A devices support a feature that allows you to interrupt in-system programming without damaging the device. All I/O pins will remain tri-stated until programming is successfully completed.

This feature is implemented using an internal EEPROM bit called the ISP_Done bit. This bit is automatically controlled by the programmer and is not a user-controlled bit.
