Configurator Programming System
1.1 Hardware Setup
1.1.1 Hardware
Requirements ■ATDH2200 Programming Board
■25-pin Parallel Cable
■9V DC Power Supply
■FPGA Configurators – AT17C/LVXXX(A)
■PC with Standard Configuration Parallel Port(1)
■Socket Adapters
–ATDH2220 for 20-pin PLCC Devices (Excluding 2M-bit Devices)
–ATDH2221 for 20-pin SOIC Devices
–ATDH2222 for all 20-pin PLCC Devices (Including 2M-bit Devices)
1.1.2 Hardware
Connections 1. Connect the 25-pin parallel cable from the PC’s parallel port to connector P1 on the ATDH2200 programming board.(1)
2. Connect the power supply from an AC wall outlet to the 9V DC connector.
3. Set jumper JP2 to PROGRAM unless otherwise specified for a specific
procedure.
4. Set jumper JP3 to 5.0V if using an AT17CXXX(A) device or 3.3V if using an
AT17LVXXX(A) device.
5. Insert AT17C/LVXXX(A) device directly in the socket marked 17CXXX (U3) or via
a socket adapter inserted into U3. Make sure the adapter is correctly placed into
the socket marked 17CXXX (U3) and set the jumper(s) on the socket adapter, if
any, as appropriate.
6. Set S1 to the “ON” position to apply power to the board. Make sure the LED (D2)
illuminates.
Note: 1. LPT1 is the default port. LPT2 or LPT3, if available, can be selected from the COM
Port options list in CPS.
