5.5 Overview of Target Interface Connector Modules (TIMs)
As it is impossible to cater for all the possible 'connector types' and 'connector pin-outs' which can be
used to program electronics devices, Equinox have instead developed a range of 'Target Interface
Modules' (TIMs) which plug into the ISPjuno programmer and feature the most popular connector
systems for e.g. AVR and ARM microcontrollers. These TIMs also feature dedicated 'Clock buffer
circuitry' which buffers the clock signal for SPI, JTAG and SWD programming interfaces.
The illustration below shows how the 'ARM - Target Interface Module' plugs into the end of the
ISPjuno programmer....
•
Pluggable connector modules which feature the popular 'connector types' and 'connector pin-
outs' for a designated family of devices.
•
TIM module simply plugs into the 'Target ISP connector' end of the programmer.
•
TIM modules currently available for 'ARM microcontroller devices' and 'AVR microcontroller
devices'
•
Each target connector on the TIM modules features an independent 'Clock buffer circuit' on
the clock signal to guarantee good signal integrity.
Please note:
The TIM modules are designed for development programming use only. This is due to the size and
form factory of the plug-in modules. Equinox recommends that 'custom ISP cables' are used for
production programming use.
