  • Page 20: Voltage Range

    1.5.2 Voltage range The programmer is designed to operate from a supply voltage in the range defined in the table below. Correct operation outside of these limits is not guaranteed. The programmer supply voltage can be derived from either the CON1 connector or the Target Vcc pin on any of the ISP Headers. The CON1 centre pin and the Target Vcc are physically joined together inside the programmer if the jumper J9 is fitted.
  • Page 21: Current Consumption / Parameters

    1.5.3 Current Consumption / Parameters 1.5.3.1 Current Consumption The programmer can either be powered from the Target System via one of the ISP Headers or from an independent power supply via CON1. The table below details the programmer current consumption with a supply voltage of 5.0V and 3.3V for both ‘Standby’ mode and during a typical programming operation when the programmer is independently powered.
