Hello Folks,
I am going to use the 17C756 in an environment with a signal processor.
Its task is the feedback control of 4 servo motors (using PWM and shaft
encoder sensors) guided by a TI C80 signalprocessor.It is a uni project.

The board is already roughly designed, but there are still many questions
left. Reading the manual and phoning to Microchip solved some problems,
but not all. For example:

1)  How to use serial in-circuit programming with external Flash-EPROM
    memory and RS232 drivers ?
   a) How does the address decoder look like ?- Do I need one ?
   b) Do I need the progamming voltage (13V) for the PIC (not requ. for
        the memory (Am29010 by AMD)!)
   c) I'm going to use MPSIM. How can I setup the programming transfer?
   d) In the datasheet there are shown some resistors to use the serial
      port pins also for other purposes (when not programming). Can I use
      4.7 KOhm for that?

2) Can I use the Capture ports (as I believe) as simple interrupt pins ?

3) I use a parallel2serial-port extension with a 74HCT165 to get 16 inputs
   more by using a serial (USART) port. Has anybody experience with this ?


I believe there are only few 17C75X users so far. I would be happy if
those few could work together to get the best out of it.

Please contact me via PICLIST AND directly at my London e-mail address:

Thanks for any answers!
