We securely store hex files indefinitely. To request removal, contact our Client Service Team.

You can expire and reinstate programming projects, but full project deletion isn't an option. To permanently delete a project, please contact our Client Service Team.

Please visit the Request Verification Samples page. Select the desired program and complete the steps on the following page to place the verification order.

Your initial verification order for each program is provided at no charge. Subsequent verification orders incur a fee of USD 29 or its equivalent in the respective currency.

If we have stock, it takes approximately 5 days to receive your order. When you place your verification order, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that includes the estimated ship date. Delivery time varies depending on the device you have selected. You will also receive a confirmation e-mail when your order is shipped. Once shipped, your order should arrive within 2 to 4 business days.

Please visit the Approve/Reject Verification page. Select "approve" and click on "update". From there, you can go to the Place Production Order page to place your order for production parts.

You may require labels or ink dots for programmed parts to distinguish between programmed and non-programmed components. Additionally, these identifiers serve to capture crucial information about the device, including version, programming date, project details and more.

While most devices offer label options, exceptionally compact devices like SOT23 may not provide this feature.

When initiating a project on our programming platform, you will receive specific text field options for your device, with the available space determined by the device's size and label requirements.

Customer text is limited to the English character set at this time. Printing space is based on device and label size and will be displayed as you set your project up. You will also be given pre-formatted programming date codes that can be selected for your label.

The label will be oriented such that the Pin 1 indicator is on the left side or lower left side depending on package type.

The label will be placed off center to allow the Pin 1 indicator to be visible where possible. If the label covers the entire package, we will always orient the label so that the Pin 1 indicator is in the lower left corner of the package while viewing the label.

At Microchip, we provide an array of options to personalize the part marking on our devices:

• Utilize our Programming Center to select from a diverse range of ink dot colors or label options. 

• Program a unique code into specifically reserved program space within each device with our Quick-Turn Programming or Serialized Quick-Turn Programming services. 

• If you prefer to receive unprogrammed parts with customized or no part markings, you can choose our Quick-Turn Programming or Serialized Quick-Turn Programming services, where the programming option can be omitted. Please note that this option necessitates a review by Microchip, and certain elements, such as trace codes, may be mandatory for quality assurance and reliability purposes. 

• Purchase parts from us and have them sent to a third party for part marking or part marking removal services.

To securely place your code inside our part to perform your required actions, please follow these steps:

1. Visit us here to Upload Code and customize or program a new device

2. Once complete, place or waive verification samples

3. Approve or Reject verification samples

4. Place Production Order

For more information about each step, see our tutorial.

The programming time for devices is contingent upon the order quantity:

• For sample orders (3 units), verification programming can be completed within 2 days or less.
• Small-quantity orders (less than 1,000 units) typically require approximately 3-5 business days for programming.
• Large-quantity orders (up to 2,000 units) usually take about 5 business days for programming.

Please note that these estimated times are separate from delivery estimates. They are standard guidelines, and additional lead time might be necessary based on equipment availability or specific customizations such as reeling.

While there is no project set-up fee, please note that programming center orders do incur a minimum charge, which is USD 60.00 (or the equivalent in other accepted currencies). This fee is applied to cover the costs associated with set-up and tear-down operations regardless of order quantity.

Once the code has been uploaded, there is no option from our website to download the code. Please contact our Client Service Team to help you recover your code.

To access the necessary options, visit Programmed Parts or navigate to the "Design Services" menu, and select "Manage My Programming Parts." Click the "Revise" link to apply your desired updates.

Changing the program name of an existing programming project is possible at the "Manage My Programming Parts" page. You may also revise some attributes, such as packing media, ink dot, hex file and checksum.
