Programmable chips

Hello, I have some chips, can anyone tell me which of these types is programmable?

WCH CH365P
LY62256SL
DS1210
NEC D8253C-5 (This chip is programmable timer, but I don't know how to program it.)

have you searched for their datasheet?

(USB to serial converter, static RAM chip, power-on reset functionality nonvolatile controller chip, programmable interval timer)

Excuse me, but I didn't understand anything you said.

which part?

The chip data sheets will tell you how to program them and whether programming is possible.

A search for "ds1210 data sheet" finds this: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/DS1210.pdf

There are a lot of programmable chips that you cannot readily change such as mask ROM's, Microcomputer's, FPGAs (need special tools), etc. What are you trying to do?

My question is, if I buy any of these chips to replace the faulty chip in the circuit, do I need to reprogram it?

Is this an Arduino related question?

If the chip is not programmable, no. Consult the data sheets.

None of those chips are "programmable" in the sense that they can contain internal programs.
(The timer is "programmable" in that some other processor connected to it can send it commands to change its operation, but there's no internal program on the chip itself.)

Do you have idea on the following concepts:?
1. Programmable device
2. MPU/MCU is a programmable device
3. Non-progrmmable peripheral controller
4. Progrmmable peripheral controller

You are asking If I buy a bolt will it replace the one on my car? No clue as to what your talking about. What Chip In What for starters might help. My answer at this point is probably not.
