- Supports AT86RF401/AT89S51/AT89S52
Performance
- High speed programs FLASH , EEPROM, Fuses, and Lock Bit
- It takes only 2.5S to program a 12K program file with verification (programming speed was set to 1M while the Max speed could be up to 8M)
Connects to PC
- Uses a USB interface for communication with the front-end software (Probably AVR Studio)
- Using PDIUSBD12, USB 1.1 (USB 2.0 Full Speed) 12Mbits/second
- Each USB AVRISP XPII has a unique ID, a PC could connects to several Devices at the same time
Connects to target board
The USB AVRISP XPII connects to the target board through 3 optional cables. Depending on the existed connector on the target board, the cable has to be changed accordingly.
- Standard 6-pin ISP Connector, Using 6-pin ISP cable
- Standard 10-pin ISP Connector, Using 6-pin to 10-pin ISP cable
- Custom ISP Connector, Using 6-wire multicolour custom connector cable
The figure 1 and 2 shows the pinouts for the 10-pin and 6-pin ISP connectors.
