application example includes serial number, MAC address, sensor calibration
etc.), the interface is of open type.
SD card supports FAT32, FAT16 etc.; can be managed using card reader.
Provide good software interface (DLL, not free of charge) to facilitate thirdparty system integration. Typical application such as ICT (online tester).
Operate up to 12 programmers through one USB HUB. Chips and files can be
different.
System requirements
Minimum requirement for system is as follows: Pentium or above compatible
computer, desktop or portable computer; at least there is a universal serial bus interface to
USB2.0 standard; Windows XP/Vista operating system; CD-ROM; hard disc with at least
1GB free space.
Standard package of the programmer
The standard package includes the following items:
One programmer ;
One ISP cable, type A (supports interface other than CAN and RS232)
One connecting cable for USB interface
One power adapter (output DC12V)
Installation software, one CD-ROM disc
One sheet of user registration form.
Options:
ISP cable, type B (supports CAN and RS232 interface)
Adapter kit for offline programming. If you want to perform offline programming on the
device like a universal programmer, you only need connect ISP cable to the kit board and
insert the chip into the kit socket. The adapter kit consists of the upper and lower boards,
the upper board is the adapter for SP 5000, the user can select it according to the chip
package. The lower board is the jumper adapter.

Hardware installation
Connection of ISP cable with the target system
Description of connection port
ISP connection port contains the signal ends required for programming of target system.
The connection port is divided into group A and group B:
Port A is a 10X2 port. The programming interfaces required for most serial protocols
are contained in this port, e.g. SPI, I2C, JTAG, UART, BDM etc., the pins of this port are
defined as follows:

Notes:
1. IS01 has a working mode called “mass production”, that is, once the programmer
detects that the target board gets ready and ISP signal arrives, it immediately starts the
functional operation defined by AUTO without keyboard operation. TPIN and TPOUT in
5
the port are provided for this purpose. TPOUT supplies high level, and TPIN is level
detection input line. Short-circuit them on the target board, once ISP signal is applied to
the test point, TPIN immediately detects high level, and AUTO command sequence can
be started.
2. Reserved1-2 is only used when the multi-object system is programming. On some
target board there are several identical I2C chips that need to be burned, and the chip that
needs to be burned currently can be selected through address line, then, Reserved1-2 is
connected to A0 and A2, respectively.
+
Port B is a 5X2 port. CAN and RS-232 come out from this port. The pins are defined as
below:
Definition of several common interfaces
In order to facilitate use by customer, we have defined several common interfaces
corresponding to ISP port (this definition only contains communication protocol pins, for
the specific wiring method, please refer to the hint on the software of host computer), the
pin correspondence table is as follows:
6
Note: SDA and SCL are reserved for test, and generally are not provided for user.
Examples for connection of target system
Before programming the target device, you must be familiar with the target device, learn the
function of each pin of the device; read on the instructions on programming of this device
with ISP programmer carefully; know the hardware programming interfaces on the target
board; and confirm compliance of target board design with ISP requirements (see the
section “ISP requirements for the target system” for detail).
The programming operation steps are as follows:
1. Search the type of the chip to be operated in ISP programming software and view the
operation hint.
2. Exactly connect the signal lines (including GND) for the corresponding interfaces of ISP
programmer with the target board.
3. If the above “mass production” function is to be used, TPIN and TPOUT signal lines
should also be connected.
4. It is recommended that power of target board is supplied independently, especially for the
target board with high power consumption and with multiple power systems. If it is
confirmed that the power is supplied by programmer ISP cable, then, VCC (sometimes also
need Vpp) should be connected.
5. The independent power supplier of target board switches on the power.
6. Operation functions for running the programmer chip.
7
Take AT Mega48 as an example, according to the operation hint, we should make line
connection according to the table below:
ISP requirements for target system
The first step to adopt ISP programming is to take into account the particularity of ISP at the
design stage of target board. This point is often neglected by many people, they think it is enough
as long as the control signal lines are connected to IC’s corresponding pins.
Attentions on pin connection
1. Pins required during the programming all should have interface terminals or measuring
points in order to ensure that IS01 can be connected to them conveniently.
2. In order to prevent the required programming pins from incurring signal jump during the
programming, it must be ensured that the PCB circuit board where programming pins locate
is not connected with other circuits.
Below are some common circuit connection methods, we will describe their merits and
demerits one by one.
8
Such design in above figure makes the programmer difficult to connect with the
programming pins, and also makes difficult to test the pin signals.
All the programming pins in above diagram have test point, therefore, it is easy to measure
the signal values. But since there are no connecting terminals for programming, it is still not
easy to connect with the programmer.
9
The pins required for programming in above diagram are all connected to the interface
terminals, therefore, it is very easy to test and burn record, therefore, such connection way is
what we recommend.
Precautions for power:
Though XELTEK ISP programmer can provide programming power (1.8-18V, 5W), in
most cases the power provided by ISP programmer is not sufficient to make the target board
work normally, therefore, we preferably recommend to use the self-contained power of the
target board. During the programming, if the self-contained power of the target board is
needed, that is, working voltage (VCC) and programming voltage (VPROG), all target boards
must ensure their correct programming voltages, which are determined by the chips that need
to be programmed and other circuits, please refer to the programming manual of this chip for
detail.
If it is required to verify the programming chip with different voltage, PCB board must be
able to provide working voltage with different range of accuracy.
Precautions for the design with reset generator
If ISP needs to use RESET pin, and when the RESET generator has already been
provided on the target board, please take care. The RESET generator may conflict with the
actuation signal of the programmer. Below they are described one by one.
10
The reset generator in such connection in above diagram conflicts with the Reset pin for
programming. Be careful when the In-System programmer drives Reset pin.
Such connection in above diagram eliminates pin conflicts by adding a jumper, but such
operation is not very convenient.
Such connection in above diagram eliminates the problem of pin conflict through adding
a resistance of large value, but we still need to pay attention to the effect of pull-up
resistance/pull-down resistance on input level signal of Reset pin.
11
Such connection in above diagram is relatively reasonable, it settles the conflict problem
through a pull-up resistance, and makes the equipment work well. It is important to note that
some Resetters will automatically delay for a length of time after detecting external reset
signal in order to meet the need of external equipment in this way.
Examples of common problems
There are three problems in above diagram:① LED lamp will extract large current from
ISP programmer; ② external input signal on M ISO pin conflicts with IS01 programming
signal; ③ capacitance on M OSI pin may affect the value of level signal output from this pin.
12
This is the circuit diagram after improvement, it can be seen from the diagram, addition of
a buffer before LED can alleviate limitation of IS01 on output current; the series resistances
before MISO can eliminate signal conflict; changing connecting position of capacitance
eliminates effect of filter capacitance on level signal.
Other matters needing attention
•
•
•
•
•
The watchdog circuit in the programming process can be triggered normally.
If the bootloader of the chip need using during the programming, the bootloader
must have been stored inside the chip before ISP programmer works, except that
the bootloader has been stored in the mask ROM inside the chip or set by factory.
For example, if there is a bootloader set by factory inside the chip, but if the space
where bootloader stored by this chip is erased or modified by ISP, it is impossible
to perform other ISP operation. In addition, some chips need special bootloader
which makes them work well.
If the chip contains encryption fuse operation or special function inhibit bit, it may
contain online programming inhibit function, therefore, the programming last time
may result in ISP function being disabled, please refer to chip manual for detail.
If the serial working cable for ISP is too long, this may also make ISP unable to
work normally. In this case, try selecting medium and low speed in the software.
Some equipment manufacturers have indicated whether this chip has ISP function
or not in the name of the chip. For example, some manufacturers use NIS to
indicate the device doesn’t support ISP function while use IS to indicate the
device does.

Use ATE interface to control the programmer
ATE control port is used for communication with external host or integration into the
automatic programming and test equipment. Therefore, besides the keyboard, the user can
also operate ISP programmer through ATE interface. ATE equipment interface adopts
optocoupling device to isolate signals, in order to ensure security and accuracy of signals
between the two equipments. In addition, while using ATE interface, it is required to set the
power voltage of external equipment signal and appropriate reference voltage point correctly.
For the signals of ATE port, please refer to the diagram below:

Quick start
This chapter will help you to understand the whole process of chip burn-recording operation
from beginning to the end, the content includes:
User interface of application software
Steps of burn-recording device
Before you are ready to operate the burn-recording device of the programmer, please make
sure that you have properly installed the programmer, and the computer has successfully
communicated with the programmer.
User interface of application software
1. Menu bar
4. Log window
7. File information bar
2. Main toolbar
5. Device information bar
8. Statistic window
3. Operation toolbar
6. Buffer information bar
Note 1: The number of subwindows in the log window is determined by the number of
modules set by the user. If there is no special description, the following description is
25
made all with respect to current window operations (i.e. highlighted window, ATMEL,
AT24C64A here)
Note 2: It is suggested to start programmers before software when you select multimodule mode.
Steps for chip burning
Hardware preparation
Before you are ready to burn devices by the programmer, please make sure that you
have properly installed the programmer, and the computer has successfully communicated
with the programmer. (after communicating successfully, the log window will display
“SUPERPRO IS01 start”, otherwise, the program will enter demo mode).
Select device
Click “select device” on the device menu bar or
on the tool bar, then a dialogue
box for selecting device pops up.
First select device type, for example, E/EPROM, BPROM, DSRAM, PLD or MCU,
then select manufacturer and device name, then click OK button. You can also key in
device name in the Search edit box to narrow down the select range in order to quickly
select the device.
Note: IS01 does not support BPROM, DSRAM.
26
Load data into buffer
Programming device is a process to burn the data in the buffer into the storage unit of
the chip according to the manufacturer’s requirements. There are two ways for loading of
data into the buffer.
1) Read from file
Select “Load” from “File” on the main menu, select appropriate file, format, and type in
“Load File” dialogue box, after confirmation, the data file is loaded. The user can check the
data in the buffer edit window.
2) Read data from master slice
After selecting the device, place the master slice, click “Read” function item on the
operation tool bar, then the data in the chip will be copied into the buffer. At this time, the
user can enter the buffer edit window to check if the data is correct or not. This data can be
stored in a disc for the need later.
Attention: some devices do not have read-out function, or have been encrypted so that data
can not be read out from master slice.
Set options
1) Operation option, including:
ID Check: Checks ID of device before chip burning.
Automatic Increment: when the user selects chip burning, he writes the serial number
in the form of accumulative number at the designated position so that each chip after
burning has different mark number.
Change the starting and ending address of the area of Device that needs to be burnrecorded
Verify Mode selection. Select specific voltage value of VCC for verification in order
to verify correctness of chip burn-recording.
2) Edit Auto mode. In the operation tool bar, all devices have a basic batch process
operation “Auto”, its function is to execute other operation functions of devices in the
already edited sequence. Generally, Edit Auto mode is selected for all devices.
Erase
Blank check
Program
Verify
Security or Protect
3) Dev. Config. For the chip with configuration words, the configuration words must be set
before burning the device to ensure the burned chip can work in the user’s target system.
The configuration words of some devices are contained in the user’s data file and are
automatically filled in the buffer of configuration characters upon import of data file.
4) Dev. Info. After selecting the device, the dialogue box for device information pops up to
display the important information of relevant device. Some devices have special
requirements for burning, or the algorithm for burning has special convention, so the user
should adjust the operation steps or buffer data after carefully reading the requirements or
conventions. When adapter is needed to support burning, corresponding adapter information
is displayed （IS01 shows how to connect IS01 programmer and some instructions） .
5} Production mode. The programmer checks the socket status all the time, once the chip is
27
placed completely, it automatically starts AUTO command without manual key push to start
operation in order to facilitate the user to batch burn the chips (IS01 production mode can
only be used in offline mode).
Programming
The user can buy the adapter according to the prompting information and place it into the
chip correctly.
The operation steps for the burning device are as follows:
Blank Check. If the chip is new, this step can be omitted
Program. Burn the data in the buffer into the chip.
Verify. This step is necessary, only when the verification is successful can the chip
burning be considered as correct. Some chips do not provide unit-to-unit verification
function, but just provide accumulative verification function similar to VerifyCRC. And
very few chips even do not provide accumulative verification function.
For the electrically erasable chip already with content, Blank Check will fail, in this
case be sure first to perform Erase operation. Some EEPROM devices can directly
overwrite without the need of erasure in advance.
If the device needs to be protected, add Security or Protect function after verification.
Notice that the protection of some devices requires to set configuration characters for
the device in advance, please refer to the detailed description of functions.
The user can select Auto function to do all operations once for all.

If you forget the password when you set it previously, you can select to erase SD card. (Note: SD
card cannot be reused if it is not treated specially after it has been erased)
Select chip
Select “select chip” on the menu bar, or click
box for chip selection pops up.
32
on the tool bar, then the dialogue
The dialogue box for “Device” includes such controls as manufacturer browse box,
device name browse box, type select button and OK and Cancel buttons as well as
Search Edit box etc. How to select a device?
Select device type among the type select buttons, there are five major types:
E/EPROM (EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH etc.), PLD, B/PROM, DRAM/SRAM, MCU.
If you are not sure, you can select “ALL”.
Assign manufacturer name in the manufacturer browse box.
Assign device name in Device Name browse box and just press “OK” button.
Since the name printed on the chip may include such parameters as speed,
temperature, package etc., when you select a name that is not totally identical with the
name in the dialogue box of “Device”, you should neglect these parameters or ask for
help.
Use of Search edit box: it may be very inconvenient to directly select the device
due to large number of devices and difference in names of chip, in this case we can
use Search edit box to help selecting. As long as you input several key characters,
then the number of devices can be greatly narrowed, thus facilitating fast search of the
device. For example, when you want to find 89 series single-chip microcomputer,
input characters “89” in the Search edit box, then all the devices containing characters
“89” will be listed. The software is sensitive to the sequence of characters “89” when
making a search, but it will neglect presence of other characters in the box. For
example, character string “819” and “DA8S9” will be listed since they meet the
requirement, while characters “98” will be neglected since it does not meet the
requirement.
33
Note: Some chips can not be used only after authorization is given, after
selecting this chip, the log window will remind “this chip needs authorization!”
XPlayer
XPlayer is a kind of special programming tool mainly for CPLD series chips produced
by ACTEL, ALTERA etc., as long as the customer provides corresponding STP or JAM

Device information
on the toolbar, then
Select “device information” on the “Device” menu bar or
the current device information will be displayed.
If there is no special information, the device information only displays manufacturer
name, device name, package, adapter and algorithm, this information can also be found in
the left information column. If there is special information, then different content will be
displayed according to different chip.
Device Configuration Word
Select “device configuration word” on the “Device” menu bar or
on the toolbar,
then the current device information will be displayed.
For the device with configuration word, the configuration word must be set before
burning the device in order to ensure the burned chip can work in the user’s target system.
The configuration words of some devices are contained in the user’s data file and are
automatically filled in the buffer of configuration characters upon import of data file,
while some devices need manual setting.
Edit automatic processing command
Select “edit Auto” in the device menu or
pops up:
on the main toolbar, the dialogue box
On the toolbar of device operation, all devices have a basic “Auto” operation, which
can perform other operation functions of devices in the window of operation function
items in the edited sequence, like processing batch. Open the “Edit Auto” dialogue box.
All the operation function items of this device are displayed in the list box of function
items on the left side of dialogue box, and operation function items and execution
sequence which the operation items execute “Auto” in the “Auto” list box on the right
side.
39
Add: Add operation function items from function list to auto list (it can also be
added by double clicking this item).
Delete: Remove selected function item from auto list (it also can be deleted by
double-clicking the item).
Clear All: Delete all function items in the auto list.
Operation options
Select “Operation option” in the device menu or
following dialogue box pops up:
on the main toolbar, the
General options
General Options include:
User’s working voltage and working level
User sets working voltage and level according to the actual condition of target board.
Production mode
If production mode is selected, user should specify the delay time (required
stabilization time after placing the chip).
The production mode is only valid under offline state.
Pull-up resistance
Clock frequency
Verify mode (only applicable to the case that the power of target board is supplied by
the programmer)
After burning (programming) a chip, it is necessary to verify the burned data.
According to the manufacturer's programming data, voltage applied to VCC pin has
the following changes when making verification:
40
First, verify the data with VCC(±5%) or (±10%), for example, for VCC=5.00V,
then we can select VCC=5.00V to verify the data once, or use VCC=4.75V and
VCC=5.25V to verify the data twice (±5%) or use VCC=4.50V and VCC=5.50V to
verify the data twice (±10%).
Second, verify the data using the minimum verification voltage (MinVcc) and the
maximum verification voltage (MaxVcc). The two voltage values referred above are
supplied by the manufacturer.
Speed
The user can decide the programming speed himself and can choose one of three
speeds, i.e. high, medium and low (varies with chip).
Buffer options
The user can select to burn a part of the chip, which is applicable to most part of
E/EPROM (FLASH) devices.
Serial number setting (dynamic buffer)
41
Some applications require writing different content to local areas of the chip, for
example serial number of the product, MAC address etc., which are collectively called
serial number. This software has provided two solutions. One is the standard
increment method and the other is user-define method. The software for the former
generates the serial number by automatic increment on the previous serial number.
The format is fixed and it can meet general requirements. The serial number of the
latter is generated by the user-define software, therefore, it has a very big freedom.
The user needs to fill the start and end address, step length and initial value. The
user can select which buffer is to be incremented and how to increase (format, step
and direction).
Note 1: What is reflected by the initial value is the current value, during burning
process, if the user wants to change the serial number to be burned, he should change
the initial value.
42
Note 2: the format of initial value must be correct, when the type is non-ASCII,
the format of initial value is “XX XX XX”; when the type is ASCII, the format of
initial value is “XXXXX”. If the format is not correct, it will be considered as 0.
User-define mode. The user needs to provide the serial number file and dll called
by the software, the serial number file needs to be generated correctly according to a
certain format
Statistic setting
When burning the chip, the software will do statistics of programming according to
user’s setting.
Statistical method:
Count will take effective if you do the operation which has been set in "Count
Option" or you do Auto and Auto contains all the operations set in "Count Option"
Module management
43
Select “module management” on “options” menu bar, then the following dialogue
box pops up:
Note: The module setting only becomes valid after the software is started.
Factory mode
It is designed for factory mass burning of chips. After entering the mode, the program
will only allow executing limited functions such as "Auto" etc. in order to prevent the
chip from being damaged by misoperation and prevent erroneous data from being burned.
For data security, the administrator can set a password when enter the mode. If
password has been set, it also requires a password when exiting the program.
44
If the number of modules >1, there will appear the general operation
bar
, click "AutoAll" to execute the respective Auto operations of each
module; click "Cancel All" to cancel operations of all modules.
Print Report
Choose “Print Report” menu on the menu bar, then the statistical report is generated
automatically.(Print report function is only valid under the factory mode)

Offline operation
Offline introduction
Turn on the system, the initialization isn’t completed until the screen prompts "XELTEK
IS01", then the system will wait for command. If the keyboard is triggered firstly, the system
will enter offline mode (standalone work mode). Note that when the system enters offline
mode, the system will first detect SD card, if it fails to detect the SD card, the system will
prompt "NO SD FOUND!" on the display screen, at this time please insert SD card and
reboot the system.
Outline
It is operated through local keyboard and LCD display without connecting with PC. SD
card stores project algorithms and user data files set by him. The user can create his own
project in online mode and download it into the card, he can also copy data files directly into
SD card through a card reader, meanwhile, notice that the project suffix must be .prj,
otherwise the system will not consider it as a project file.
All contents relevant to user’s offline operations are stored in it in the form of
“PROJECT” file which includes the device type, data file, device configuration bit setting etc.
In short, when booting the machine, the user can complete all settings just by selecting
"project" name in the menu, then the machine starts working. The project must be created
online and downloaded to the SD card, which can simplify offline operation and avoid
production losses due to misoperation. The number of projects stored by SD card at one time
is only limited by card capacity. When creating and downloading project library, if the library
size exceeds the capacity of SD card, the software will give a remind, at this time, the user
should reduce the number of projects or insert a SD card of larger capacity. For specific
48
method of project construction and download, please refer to previous sections in the
operation manual.
Menu description
Keyboard rules:
ENTER—select and enter next-level menu
EXIT—exit to the upper level menu
