Introduction
Thank you for buying our ISPcable II programmer. We hope that the great power it
offers will allow you to appreciate fully the virtues of programming in the system provided
by Atmel microcontrollers.
ISPcable II is advanced, high-speed development/production programmer supporting
most In-System Programmable microcontrollers from Atmel. ISPcable II gives the
designer a compact and realiable programming tool to program most In-system
Programmble Atmel microcontrollers through a 6- or 10-pin ISP connector. The
programmer connects to a P through a standard RS232 serial interface and draws the
necessary power from the target board eliminating the need for an additional power
supply. Maximum speed of RS232 and SPI interfaces are chooses automaticly for
programming with maximum accessible for programmed mikrocontroller speed.
ISPcable II can co-operate with microcontrollers supplied with voltages from 1.5 to 6 V.
Such a broad range of supply voltages was achieved through buffering of signals on the
ISP line, additionally enhancing the immunity of the circuit to interference. ISPcable II is
provided with ProProgRS software working in the Windows system, it co-operate with
AVRStudio (AVR Prog -not all microcontorllers) software from Atmel as well. Moreover,
functions offered by ProProgRS are available, such as: programming and read-out of
Flash memories, EEPROM, fuse-and-lock bits, RESET signal configuration, SPI
frequency.
Due to the small size, it is also an excellent tool for field upgrades of existing applications
Let us wish ou nothing but success and a lot of satisfaction in
designing and putting new microprocessor devices to work.

Connection with the target circuit
The connection to the target circuit should be realized through the attached 10-lead ribbon cable,
terminated with standard IDC plugs with 2.54 mm raster. In case of using another cable it should be
kept in mind that it should not be longer than 30 cm (~12 inches). The target device should be
equipped with a ISP connector with lead-out identical to that of the programmer ISP connector. We
connect the ISP bus lines with their corresponding ISP bus lines of the microcontroller as shown
in the figure below.
Connection with the AT90S8515 microcontroller
The LED signal can also serve to switching multiplexer the separating the signals MOSI, MISO,
S K from the rest of system on time the programming. Solution such should be use in systems in
which to SPI BUS be connected different arrangements like Flash memory or RT . It eliminates the
possibility of accidental record to these arrangements in time the programming the microcontroller.
Signal LED in programming moment switch to low level. The connection using multiplexer is shown
in the figure below.

Level converter of ISP signals
In order to assure proper operation of the programmer when the supply voltages of the target circuit
differ from the programmer’s supply voltage, level converters of ISP signals come into use. The
conversion circuits have been designed for operation with a target circuit supplied from a voltage
between 1.8 and 6 V.
The ISPcable II can be supplied from an external source or directly from the target circuit. In the
last case, the supply voltage should have a value between 4.5 and 5.5 V.
Signals between the programmer and the target circuit can be divided into two groups: input
signals (MISO), output (MOSI, SCK, RST, LED). Besides regenerating ISP bus signals, the signal
level converter buffers limit the input and output currents. Buffering has been applied on all signal
lines of the programmer. The implementation of a signal level converter for output
lines has been shown in the figure below.
Voltage level converter (outputs)
The implementation of a signal level converter in the input line of the MISO programmer is shown
below.

Suppl ing the programmer
Programmer unit can be powered on two ways:
•By the ISP connector from target circuit. In this case the power voltage VTG system should
be since 4.5 to 5.5 V, Power jumper must be close.
•Bye external power supply connected to POWER of programmer. In this case power voltage
VTG system should be since 1.8 to 6V, after closing power jumper, power to the target circuit
can be supplied, the maximum current is 50 mA. However power supply programmer unit
should be done across connector about diameter of pin 2.5 mm. The Voltage should be
since 9 to 15V for D and since 7 to 13 for A .
The implementation of arrangement of the power supply inside the programmer unit ISPcable II was
showed on following drawing.
