How to Copy Program Data from PIC 16F72 to Another PIC 16F72 for Inverter Production

Dear sir,
Actually i am making new inverters and to make an inverter, I used PIC 16F72 to make it but in this process I have to purchase that PIC 16F72 from the market which is very much in short availability( with data filled in it ). Now, I have already purchased few PIC (with data) but in future I would not have of it. So, kindly help me by telling that can I copy that data from that PIC which is already filled and can I paste or fill in to blank PIC or another PIC . If yes then tell me how can I ? Or what I have to do for that? More power.

If I understand your question you are saying the 16F72 is in short supply. It is stocked at Mouser electronics www.mouser.com you can also buy development tools from mouser too which program the part or you can have it programmed by a third party company for you locally. There are a lot of options to accomplish this. From my understanding you wish to obtain parts either blank or programmed locally for your project.

No, I think what "Electrical" is saying, is that they have a PIC16F72 that is programmed to run an inverter circuit. They are saying that PIC16F72's loaded with that code are in short supply. And, I think Electrical is saying that they have some PIC16F72 blanks and they want to know if they can copy the hex code form the programmed PIC into the one or more of the blanks.

If I got that right, then the answer is maybe. If the PIC was not Code Protected, then it is possible to read the HEX code and transfer it to another device, otherwise, not.

To transfer the code from one un-code protected device to another, you need something like a PICkit3 (or PICkit2 or 1).

You'll also need to make a "jig" that will connect the 5 programming lines (VCC, GND, MCLR/VPP, Clock, Data) to the IC.

Another possibility is a programmer with a ZIF socket. Try Gooling for that: "PIC programmer with zif socket" -- make sure that it comes with it's own software (and that it can both read & write a PIC device -- and then check the comparability list (if it doesn't have one, then don't buy it) to see if it will do that with a PIC16F72)

When you get that set up, then install the software that came with the programmer on your PC (or MAC or Linux if there is a version for those) then use it to, fist, read the programmed PIC, then use it to write that to one or more PIC16F72 blanks.

Hopefully I thought of everything!
