PLCC44, a PLCC68 and a DIL24. Each socket has it own quartz crystal X1, X2 and X3. Only one Atmel microcontroller must be plugged-in at one time, in one of the three sockets. Crystal may be easily changed on each socket.
PSEN ISP1 The C51/C251 Demo Board must be connected to a PC com port via the RS232 cable connected to the RS232 connector of C51/C251 Demo Board. After downloading, you can run code by switching PSEN on J11 to 1 and pressing the RESET push button.
External Flash memory might be programmed using Windows hyper terminal or any ter- minal able to send HEX files in text mode. The C51/C251 Demo Board must be connected to the PC com port with the cable con- nected to the RS232 connector J10.
