AT89ISP Programmer Cable

1. Introduction
This application note describes the Atmel AT89ISP cable interface. This in-system programmer cable communicates serially with Atmel's AT89S/AT89LP microcontrollers and reprograms them in the circuit without removal. For surface-mounted devices, eliminating this step greatly reduces the possibility of damages caused by insertion/removal of delicate leads, and allows for design changes and software/parameter updates in the field.

2. Parallel Port Settings


For optimal operation, it is recommended that the users PC/laptop parallel port setting be configured for EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port). This can be done in the BIOS screen after a boot-up sequence. For laptops without a parallel port, a USB-to-Parallel converter product such as the one featured in the following link is recommended: http://www.dpie.com/pcmcia/spp100.html

3. AT89ISP Software
The AT89ISP software is the primary means for performing in-system programming (ISP) of Atmel AT89S/AT89LP devices. It provides an intuitive interface for insystem programming that can be run from a personal computer. The software will run under the Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP, Windows NT operating systems. The software has a comprehensive set of features that allows a user to view, program, and erase data from an Atmel AT89S/AT89LP device. A detailed Adobe Acrobat document describing the features/functions of the software accompanies it.

4. AT89ISP Cable
In order to use the AT89ISP software, the user will need to have an Atmel AT89ISP cable. This cable can be purchased directly from Atmel or authorized Atmel representatives. The ISP cable's pins need to be connected to an AT89S/AT89LP device in the manner shown in Figure 5-1 on page 2. The 25-pin male connector plugs into the parallel port of the users personal computer. The 10-pin female IDC header plugs into a 10-pin male header in the users target board. A polarized 10-pin receptacle male header is highly recommended to avoid an erroneous connector mating. The pinout shown below represents the target 10-pin male header connector in the user's board as viewed from the top. Please note that connection of the SS pin (P1.4) is required for all the AT89LP (single-cycle core) derivatives, but not for the AT89S derivatives.

6. Connection
The correct way to connect the female header end of the AT89ISP cable to the 10-pin receptacle male header is to align the connector arrow towards pin 1, as illustrated in Figure 6-1. On the cable casing end, make sure the connector arrow sits visible next to the side of the small PC board (not away from it). Figure 6-1. Proper Cable Alignment

7. Voltage Levels
The AT89ISP cable requires a regulated DC supply from the user target board. The cable should operate correctly between the specified operating voltage limits. The current operating VCC voltage range for the AT89ISP cable is 2.7V to 5.5V.
