Overview
The MP-ISP/ST7 Philosophy
The MP-ISP/ST7 In-Circuit Gang Programmer, in combination with a
standard personal computer, is a full-featured, high-performance
multiple (gang) programming system specific for ST7 FLASH
microcontrollers. MP-ISP/ST7 is able to in-circuit program up to eight
devices. MP-ISP/ST7 is a system composed of a single, universal and
upgradable base unit, ready to support current and future devices
(code: MP8011A) and of eight "programming heads" (code: PH-ST7FZ). Each
programming head features a header connector with all the necessary ISP
signals required to in-circuit program the target system (the same
MP8011A base unit can be used in conjunction with a wide range of other
optionally purchasable programming heads for traditional socket
programming). MP-ISP/ST7 is a PC-hosted system: it communicates with
the host PC through the LPT parallel port. Blank checking, reading,
erasing, programming and verifying operations are supported. MP-ISP/ST7
is ready to support future devices. The upgrade operation for the
support of new devices is as simple as downloading new releases of the
PC software. The MP-ISP/ST7 comes with the main gang programmer unit
(MP8011A), eight ISP programming heads (PH-ST7FZ), eight ISP flat
cables to connect to the target systems to be programmed, external
power supply adapter, parallel cable and user's guide.
The User Interface
The MP-ISP/ST7 user interface has two separate windows for editing
the code and data memory (if present) of the device to be programmed.
An Info panel always displays information about the device to be
programmed. Additionally, the status of the programming sites is shown
together with the statistics about the programmed device. The editing
of the Option Byte(s) is simplified through a special dialog box--the
Option Bytes dialog box is specific for each device and allows you to
edit each single bit of the option bytes of the device you are working
with. MP-ISP/ST7 can perform blank checking, erasing, reading,
programming and verifying operations. A special operation, the Auto
operation, groups the blank checking, erasing, programming and
verifying operations in a single operation, speeding up the programming
process. All of the operations share a common, simple, easy-to-use
dialog box.
Protected Mode
Protected Mode simplifies the programming process by means of an
easy, guided procedure that requires no special knowledge. Protected
Mode is suitable when programming large amounts of devices. Entering
and exiting the Protected Mode is password protected.
Programming Times
Programming times depend on the microcontroller's FLASH memory
technology, memory size and oscillator frequency. For eight HDFlash
devices (ST72F324, 521, 561, 621, 651, etc.) with 32 KB and an
oscillator frequency of 16 MHz, total programming time is about 13
seconds (including program Code, verify Code, program Options, verify
Options). For eight XFlash devices (ST72F264, LITE0, LITE2, etc.) with
8 KB and an oscillator frequency of 16 MHz, total programming time is
about 4 seconds (including program Code, verify Code, program Options,
verify Options).
Software Upgrades
SofTec Microsystems is continuously adding the support for new
devices to the MP-ISP/ST7 In-Circuit Gang Programming System. The
latest version of the user interface is always available free of charge
at our download page.
