8-way ATE AVR Programmer Starter Kit

USB Starter kit for 8-way ATE AVR Programmer

ATE (Automated Test Equipment) version of our popular Kanda 8-way Handheld AVR Programmer with USB PC interface and software. Load the 8-way Handheld AVR Programmer from a PC using the USB PC interface and the simple software and then you do not need PC again. Up to 8 different programs with different PIC microcontroller targets and settings can be loaded into the programmer.

Once it is loaded, the PC is no longer required. It has been fitted with a 6-way pin header socket for connection to ATE systems. These lines are

• GND
• 3 Slot Select lines, for the 8 different slots
• PROGRAM to start programming
• STATUS to determine pass or fail

The connector is a 6-way 3x2 pin header socket, 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch.
More information is available in the Datasheet, click button at bottom of product description.

This version is only for connection to ATE, please see 8-way AVR Handheld Programmer for portable version with rotary switch.
