T51prog2

Introduction

T51prog2 is next member of new generation of Windows based ELNEC specialized
programmers. Programmer is capable to support all today available microcontrollers of
MCS51 series (up to 40 pins) and AVR microcontrollers (8-40 pins) by parallel and serial way.
T51prog2 has been developed in close cooperation with Atmel W&M, therefore programmer's
hardware is focused to support all current and future microcontrollers of Atmel W&M MCS51
family.
T51prog2 can be upgraded to SmartProg2 using Xprog2 to SmartProg2 upgrade kit
(ord.no.60-0048).
T51prog2 is small, fast and powerful programmer for MCS51 series and Atmel AVR
microcontrollers. T51prog2 enables also programming of serial EEPROM with IIC (24Cxx),
Microwire (93Cxx) and SPI (25Cxx) interface types. Using build-in in-circuit serial
programming (ISP) connector programmer is capable to program MCS51 family
microcontrollers and Atmel AVR microcontrollers in serial way.
T51prog2 provides very competitive price but excellent hardware design for reliable
programming. Nice "value for money" in this class.
T51prog2 provides very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware and
USB 2.0 full speed port.
T51prog2 interfaces with the IBM PC Pentium compatible or higher, portable or desktop
personal computers through USB port, what is important for new, LPT-port-less computers
(notebooks for example).
T51prog2 has 40 powerful TTL pindrivers provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability
for each pin of socket. Advanced pindrivers incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to
deliver programming without overshoot or ground bounce for all supported devices. Pin
drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of today's advanced
low-voltage devices.
The programmer performs device insertion test (wrong or backward position) and contact
check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities,
supported by signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
T51prog2 performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage, which,
obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention
T51prog2 programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down menu, hot
keys and on-line help. Selecting of device is performed by its class, by manufacturer or
simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number.
Standard device-related commands (read, blank check, program, verify, erase) are boosted
by some test functions (insertion test, signature-byte check), and some special functions
(autoincrement).
