Page 7: Electromagnetic Compatibility (Emc) Compliance
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliance The ‘ISPnano Programming Module’ is a CE Approved Product. It is designed for use in an ESD controlled environment i.e. development or production. This means, therefore, that the user must ensure that there is no possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Since the devices and equipment to which this product is likely to be connected may well themselves be susceptible to ESD, this should not pose any difficulty. -

Page 13: Overview
1.0 Overview The "ISPnano Series IV ATE" is a state-of-the-art ISP Programmer designed for high-speed In- System Programming (ISP) of FLASH Microcontrollers and Serial Memory devices in a production environment. It has been specially developed to allow simple integration with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) systems and In-Circuit Testers (ICTs) used in high-volume production systems. - Page 14 A dedicated 'ATE Interface' also allows the ATE / ICT to control the operation of the programmer in 'Standalone Mode' (no PC required).

Page 23: Programmer / Ate Signal Routing
4.0 Programmer / ATE Signal routing 4.1 Overview The ISPnano Series 4 programmer is designed to accept a single user-replaceable ‘I/O Connector Module’. This plug-in connection module concept allows a DUT to connect to the module instead of the programmer directly. In the event of a programmer failure, the module can simply be unplugged from the programmer and then programmer replaced without having to re-wire the fixture. -

Page 27: Dut Routed To External Ate System (Default)
4.4 DUT routed to External ATE System (default) When the programmer is powered up but not running a ‘Programming Project’, the relay coils are not energised so the ‘Target System (UUT)’ connections are routed via the ‘Target ISP Port’, through the relays to the ‘ATE Port’ where they then connect to the ‘External ATE / ICT System’. The signal direction depends on the particular signal I/O line, GROUND or power line being routed. -
Page 28: Dut Routed To External Ate System - Pin Routing
4.5 DUT routed to External ATE System – Pin routing By default the RELAYs are OFF and the ‘ATE Port’ signals are routed to the ‘Target ISP Port’ pins as detailed in the table below. Target ISP ATE Port Programmer Port Notes Pin name... -
Page 29: Dut Routed To Internal Programmer (Relays On)
4.6 DUT routed to internal programmer (RELAYs ON) When the relay coils are energised, the ‘Target System (UUT)’ connections are routed to the ‘Internal Programmer’. The ‘External ATE / ICT System’ is at this point completely disconnected (out of circuit). This allows the programmer to power up and program the ‘Target Device’ without any problems related to the external system loading the power or programmer signal lines. -
Page 30: Relay Control Configuration
5.0 Relay Control Configuration The relays on the ‘I/O Connector Module’ are controlled by the programmer by default. The relays are automatically energised whenever a programming operation commences and remain energised until the programming operation is completed. This is the preferred setup as it means that the programmer is only ever connected to the DUT when in programming mode. - Page 31 If ‘REMOTE’ relay control is selected, then the ????? pin on the 10-way Remote Control Port (J14) is used to control the relays.
