PRESTO USB Programmer Detail

• PRESTO is optimized for programming speed and it is a really very fast PIC programmer. For example, the full PIC18F8720 microcontroller is programmed and verified in 6 seconds! (3 seconds for programming and 3 seconds for verification). Complete eCOG1 in less than 3 seconds.
• In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) is a very useful and often used PIC microcontroller feature. PRESTO programmer directly supports this function using a dedicated connector and an included cable. In comparison to other ASIX' programmers, the ICSP connector is enhanced - there are two more pins allowing support of wider range of PIC microcontrollers.
• The target microcontroller can be either powered by PRESTO Programmer (5 V nominally) or can be powered by an application, within a voltage range 3 to 5 V (with 10% tolerance).
• GO button allows user to start microcontroller programming easily, without the need for a PC keyboard or mouse. LEDs indicate programmer status - green LED ON-LINE indicates the USB connection and yellow LED ACTIVE indicates that PRESTO is just working (programming, reading, ...)
• Overcurrent limitation of target supply and programming voltages remarkably reduce the risk of damaging the PIC microcontrollers because of user mistakes. Target supply overvoltage detection is also implemented.
• PRESTO programmer is powered from the USB bus, so there is no need for any additional supply adaptor.
• PRESTO programmer is small, lightweight and compact.
• Software upgrades are freely available for all users on the Internet. They contain new device support, new functions and algorithm updates when required.
