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. Fig. 1.5.2 Programmer voltage supply range for reliable operation # Programmer mode Min Vcc Max Vcc Units 1 Programming a Target Device 3.05 5.00 V 2 Uploading Programming Projects to programmer FLASH 3.10 5.00 V Important note: The programmer electronics should operate reliably between the ‘Min Vcc’ and ‘Max Vcc’ voltage levels specified in the table above. This does NOT mean that every Target Device can also be programmed within this voltage range. To verify that a particular device can be programmed at a certain Vcc voltage: • Check the supply / programming voltage parameters for the actual device (IC) in the manufacturer’s datasheet. • Many devices have two different voltage range versions eg. 2.7 – 6.0V and 4.0 – 6.0V. Please ensure that you are programming the device within the stated voltage range. • Ensure that you have selected the required Target Vcc Voltage in your EQTools – Programming Project (*.ppm). e.g. if you are programming at +3.3V, you must set up this voltage in your Programming Project. This can be found in the EQTools - Project Builder tab. • For most Atmel AVR and AT89S devices, the FLASH and EEPROM Write Times increase as the Target Voltage decreases. The timings are automatically set for you in your project as long as you have declared the correct Target Vcc voltage in your project. 8 EPSILON5 MKII Programmer - User Guide V1.12 – 1st August 2007 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. If the programmer is to be powered from the Target System (typical of field use), then the Target System power supply must be capable of supplying the maximum current that can be drawn by the programmer during a programming operation. Fig. 1.5.3.1 Programmer voltage supply range for reliable operation (independently powered) # Programmer mode 1 LED Status CON1 Vcc (V) Min Typ Max Units Standby Mode 5.0 - 28.0 35.0 mA 2 Standby Mode 3.3 - 28.0 35.0 mA 3 Programming (BUSY) 5.0 - 47.0 60.0 mA 4 Programming (BUSY) 3.3 - 44.0 60.0 mA Status LED Key: Notes: The above measurements were taken with the programmer and Target System independently powered (i.e. J9 removed). EPSILON BOM – 1.20/1.21. Target device – AT90S8515. These measurements refer to the current taken by the programmer’s internal circuitry. Standby Mode – All LED’s OFF (Target Vcc is OFF so the Target Vcc LED is also OFF) 1.5.3.2 Maximum Current handling of programmer If the programmer is supplying power to the Target System, then the current drawn by the Target System must be below the maximum value stated in the table below.

This connector is a 2.5mm jack socket. Fig. 1.5.4 CON1 – pin-out Description Voltage Centre pin +3.1V to +5.0V from external power supply Outer 0V (Ground connection) 1.5.5 DC Power Cable Specification The programmer is supplied with a DC power cable which plugs into CON1. The other end of this cable is supplied with bare wire ends for connecting to an external power supply. e.g. bench PSU. Cable Specification: • One end features a female 2.5mm DC jack plug • The other end of the cable is supplied with bare wire ends for connecting to an external power supply. e.g. bench PSU. • The black lead with the white stripe is the +VE cable. • The all black lead is the GROUND cable. • The external voltage applied to CON1 must be between 3.1 and 5.0V ! 10 EPSILON5 MKII Programmer - User Guide V1.12 – 1st August 2007 1.5.6 J5 – RS-232 Communications Port & Serial Cables 1.5.6.1 Connecting the programmer to the PC COM port The EPSILON5 programmer communicates with a PC via the RS-232 Communications Port (J5). A suitable 9-way to 9-way serial cable is supplied with the programmer. The programmer is supplied with the following PC Serial Cables / Adaptors: 1. 9-way D (female) to 9-way D (Male) Serial Cable This cable should be connected between the 9-way D-connector on the programmer and a spare 9way RS-232 COM port on your PC. 2. 9-way D (female) to 25-way D (Female) adaptor If your PC has a 25-way D connector, you will need to plug the 9-25 way adaptor onto the end of the 9-9 way Serial Cable as shown in the diagram below. 1.5.6.2 Serial Cable Length The serial cable supplied with the programmer is approximately 2m in length. If you wish to make your own longer cable, please ensure that you connect all 9 pins at each end in a straight-through pin-topin fashion. See fig. 1.5.6.2 for the pin-out specifications. The programmer features an ESD protected full RS-232 specification driver chipset and so should operate reliably when driving serial cables up to 10m in length. However, it is recommended to keep the serial cable as short as possible to enhance EMI immunity and reduce EMI emissions. Important note: The programmer uses ALL of the NINE pins of the COM port for different purposes. It is therefore imperative that the cable used to connect between the programmer and the PC COM port has all NINE cables connected. Failure to do this will result in the programmer not operating correctly.

This software supports creation and testing of so-called Programming Projects which can then be uploaded to the programmer for use in ‘Standalone Mode’. EQTools contains many separate utilities most of which are enabled as standard for this programmer. Certain options such as compiling and running of ‘Programming Scripts’ must be purchased from Equinox as a ‘License upgrade. The table below details the various EQTools components and whether they are enabled as standard. Fig. 2.3.1 Software / Control Options for the Epsilon5 Programmer EQTools - Project Builder EQTools - Project Management Utility EQTools - Project Upload/Download Utility EQTools - Development Suite (EDS) EQTools - Script Builder EQTools - Script Editor Development Mode (PC Controlled) Standalone operation (Keypad – no PC) ASCII Text Mode Control ConsoleEDS – Evaluation version ConsoleEDS – PRO version ISP-PRO Software - Network Management Utility - Interface Database (Diagnostics Log) - Labview Control (PC) - Remote Application Control (PC) YES YES YES YES U U YES YES U YES U U U U U U Key YES – feature available as standard U – a license upgrade must be purchased from Equinox to enable this feature. 22 EPSILON5 MKII Programmer - User Guide V1.12 – 1st August 2007 2.3.2 Programmer Control Mechanisms The programmer can be controlled from EQTools, from a Remote System and via the Equinox ISPPRO software. An overview of the various control mechanisms is given below. Standalone Operation (Keypad) This indicates that the programmer can be operated without being connected to a PC or other control system. In this case an operator can control programming operations using a keypad on the programmer e.g. Epsilon5, FS2003, PPM3-MK2 ASCII Text Mode Control This indicates that the programmer can be controlled using a simple 'ASCII Serial Communications Protocol'. This is ideal for applications where a Remote System wishes to control the programmer using a serial communications link e.g. RS-232. ISP-PRO Software This software suite is capable of controlling up to 16 x Equinox Production ISP programmers on an RS-485 network at the same time. All programming operations are controlled via 'Programming Scripts' and 'Programming Projects' which have been created using EQTools. The application minimises user intervention during programming and logs all programming operations to an Interface Database. Labview Control (PC) This allows an Equinox programmer to be controlled by a remote Labview Application. The Labview application can launch 'Programming Scripts' and read/write unique data such as serial numbers and calibration data. Remote Application Control (PC) This allows an Equinox programmer to be controlled by a Remote Application written in e.g. Visual Basic, C++ etc. The Remote Application can launch 'Programming Scripts' and read/write unique data such as serial numbers and calibration data. ConsoleEDS This is a powerful utility which allows any Equinox ISP Programmer to be controlled from a PC application by executing simple command line instructions. This method of control is ideal for interfacing the programmer to any Windows application. EPSILON5 MKII Programmer - User Guide V1.12 – 1st August 2007 23 2.3.3 Software Installation The Epsilon5 programmer comes with the software suite called EQTools as standard. The latest version of this software which was available at the time of shipping is supplied on CD-ROM with the programmer.
