● Portable In-System (ISP) Programmer supporting Microchip AVR Microcontrollers
● Supports most popular AVR programming interfaces including AVR ISP (SPI), JTAG, XMEGA PDI, ATtiny TPI, ATtiny / ATmega UPDI* (one wire)
● Ideal for Field-service or Production programming applications
● Supports ‘Standalone’ operation - no PC required after programmer has been configured with user project
● Capable of storing 1x ‘Standalone Programming Project’ which can be repeatedly executed by pressing the AutoProgram button
● Supports programming of devices between 3.0V and 5.0V
● Interchangeable Target Interface Modules (TIM) available which interface to the target PCBA connector
● High-speed USB connection to the PC
● Programmer can be powered from: External power supply or External USB Power Pack
● Robust programmer design - all programmer I/O lines are fully ESD and over-voltage protected

*Note: UPDI programming algorithm is still in development and is therefore not available at this time.

● The ISPalfa1 programmer can be used in 'Standalone Mode' - no PC connection required

● A single 'Standalone Mode - Programming project' can be pre-uploaded to the programmer before using it in 'Standalone Mode'

● This makes the programmer ideal for Field-service or Production programming applications where the same 'firmware image' needs to be repetitively programmed into multiple target PCBAs.

● Supports most AVR hardware interfaces / protocols including JTAG, XMEGA AVR PDI, ATtiny AVR TPI, ATtiny / ATmega AVR UPDI*, ATtiny AVR HV mode
● An additional target-specific ISP 'active cable' or 'Target Interface Module (TIM)' may be required to support certain programming interfaces.
● Individually configurable programmer I/O pins
● All programmer I/O lines are fully ESD and over-voltage protected
● Supports programming of target ICs between 3.0 and 5.0V.
● Programmable frequency generator output on SCK2 pin - supports external clocking of AVR microcontrollers to speed up programming
