The Tiny Programming Interface (TPI) supports external programming of all Non-Volatile Memories (NVM). Memory programming is done via the NVM Controller, by executing NVM controller commands as described in Memory Programming.
The Tiny Programming Interface (TPI) provides access to the programming facilities. The interface consists of two layers: the access layer and the physical layer.

Related Internal Interfaces
Programming is done via the physical interface. This is a 3-pin interface, which uses the RESET pin as enable, the TPICLK pin as the clock input, and the TPIDATA pin as data input and output. NVM can be programmed at 5V, only.
