Specifications of DLP-FLASH2

• Positions/sockets: 1
• For Use With/related Products: PIC16F, PIC18F

The DLP-FLASH2 programmer is compatible with the family of CCS C compilers. The DLP-FLASH2
is directly supported by the IDE programming environment as well as by the ICD programming
software available from CCS.
3.0 POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The DLP-FLASH2 programmer board has the ability to supply 5-volt power—via the programming
header—to the target microcontroller for programming and debug. The circuitry that is connected to
Pin 5 of the DLP-FLASH2 programmer must not draw more than 300mA. If the target electronics
draw more than 300mA on the 5-volt line or the target operates at a voltage other than 5 volts, then
they must be externally powered and electrically isolated from the DLP-FLASH2 by removing the
TPWR jumper.
NOTE: If programming a microcontroller that is installed in target electronics, it will most likely
be necessary to apply power to the target’s circuitry before programming. The DLP-FLASH2
programmer can supply a minimal amount of 5-volt power for either a circuit that requires very
little power or for just a microcontroller. As a rule of thumb, if the microcontroller to be
programmed is connected to target electronics, always apply power to the microcontroller and
remove the TPWR jumper before connecting to the DLP-FLASH2.
4.0 QUICK-START GUIDE
This guide requires the use of a Windows 2000/XP PC that is equipped with a USB port. If the DLP-
FLASH board is connected to your PC, unplug it at this time.
