AVT988 A

The AVR Studio environment offers the possibility of operating mainly "company" programmers; such as STK500 or AVRISP. Nothing, however, stands in the way of making a "pretend" layout under one of the company's designs. This is not a particularly difficult task, especially since Atmel has provided a communication protocol between the PC and the programmer, as well as a description of the signals necessary for correct programming of the processor.
The programmer consists of three main blocks: the FT232RL system which is the computer's USB port interface, the ATmega 8 microcontroller realizing all logic functions and the output buffer. The whole is powered directly from the USB interface line.

The device is especially recommended for electronics using AVR microcontrollers and the AVR Studio 4.12 programming environment

Selected parameters:

• compliance with the STK500V2 protocol
• direct support via AVR Studio 4
  
• computer interface - USB
• support for USB bus sleep mode
• programming processors in the system via the Atmel standard connector
• programming of un-mounted processors (with the use of stands)
• programming in systems with supply voltages in the range of 2.7-5V (below 2V without a guarantee)
• high programming speed
• power supply - from the USB port
• tile dimensions 60x41mm
• printed circuit board and documentation included
  A version with a set of components for self-assembly is available
