LCR versions. 2.1Flash Devices These devices are offered in the lower cost plastic package, even though the device can be erased and reprogrammed. This allows the same device to be used for prototype development and pilot programs as well as production. A further advantage of the electrically-erasable Flash version is that it can be erased and reprogrammed in- circuit, or by device programmers, such as Microchip's PICSTART® Plus or PRO MATE® II programmers. 2.2Quick-Turnaround-Production (QTP) Devices Microchip offers a QTP Programming Service for factory production orders. This service is made available for users who choose not to program a medium to high quantity of units and whose code patterns have stabilized. The devices have all Flash locations and configuration options already pro- grammed by the factory. Certain code and prototype verification procedures do apply before production shipments are available.
