Abstract
A one-time write, read-only memory for storing trimming parameters includes an address pointer table, a fixed packet portion, and a flexible packet portion. The fixed packet portion includes one or more fixed packets, each fixed packet including trimming parameters for a component identified for trimming during a design phase. The flexible packet portion includes one or more flexible packets of different types. Each flexible packet includes trimming parameters for a component identified for trimming after the design phase. One packet type includes a length section and a number of fields equal to a value stored in the length section. Each field includes an address, a trimming parameter, and a mask. Another packet type includes trimming parameters associated with operands in operating instructions for a microcontroller, where the operands include an address and a mask.
