Copy Microcontroller Program

Copy microcontroller program has become quite prevail in the electronic reverse engineering technology industry. Burn out its pinout can effectively prevent the microcontroller copy.

We can decide what really happen in the internal structure of microcontroller after burn out its pinout lead when attempt to Extract Microcontroller Code, we test a PIC16F76 microcontroller which embedded inside the software dongle. Universal programmer can’t recognize the microcontroller, and finally the #28 pinout on the microcontroller has been damaged, use the microscopy to monitor it after de-capsulation.

Chemical experiment also has been instructed on the microcontroller to monitor its real damage situation, and both of the transistors in the output terminals have been damaged.

If MCU Cracker want to recover the pinout functions, then FOCUS ION BEAM is required on the INPUT / OUTPUT of reverse engineering technology. Another way is use microprobe to read out the internal databus to Copy Microcontroller and extract the information inside the memorizer.

These facilities are all very expensive which also require the veteran microcontroller copyer to spend great amount of time to proceed it.

Because burn out the pinout on the microcontroller can cause the internal structure and damage on the deactivation layer, it is not quite suitable for the mass production.

The parameters of microcontrollers can vary accompany with the time flow, because the water vapor and air will slowly but consequently leak into the microcontroller like Extract Microcontroller AT89C51IC2 Program, which can cause the deterioration of microcontroller functions and performance. Such as the increasing power consumption, short life cycle and decreasing ANTI-ESD Voltage pressure.
