PIC Programmer

This programmer is based around the popular JDM configuration of high

voltage programmers. It supports a wide range of Microchip microcontrollers
and EPROM chips. It also has an onboard RS232 – TTL converter. All of this
is packed in a tiny little foot print.

Features:
• In Circuit Serial Programmer (ICSP)
• Compact size
• Standard DB 9 Connector for easy interface
• Switch for serial communication and programming differentiation
• Programming and serial communication connectors included with the
board
• Supports number of freely available programming tools: PICPgm,
WinPic800 and ICProg.

Use:
In order to use this module as a programmer, press the switch on the module
so that it remains pressed down. Now connect the serial cable in-between the
programmer and the Computer. On the other end, connect the programming
signal lines to your PIC application board.

This programmer is now ready to be used. The user can now download the
relevant HEX file from the computer to the PIC using programming softwares
like PICPgm, WinPic800 or ICProg.

Note: The mode select switch on the programmer module is a Push-to-ON-

Push-to-OFF type. So once pressed it remains pressed (programming mode)
and when pressed again it remains in the release position (UART mode)

Here’s a sample schematic using PIC18F4550:

Please Note: This programmer is dependent on getting standard RS232

operating voltages from the computer for its normal operation. Most laptop
computers do not meet these standards and hence are not supported by this
programmer. Additionally this programmer does not support USB-serial
converter devices.
