The Epsilon5 Portable USB ISP Programmer is a high-speed development / field / production
programmer supporting most in-system programmable (ISP) microcontrollers from Atmel, Philips and
Zensys. The programmer can be operated under PC control during development and for project
configuration / uploading using the EQTools Toolsuite. For field / production applicat io ns th e unit is
designed to operate in ‘Standalone Mode’. A ‘Progra mming Project’ can be recalled from the on-
board non-volatile FLASH memory and programmed into a Target System by pressing a single key.
All the popular ISP heade rs are catered for including the new JTAG ISP Port required for fast
programming of the Atmel ATmega AV R and AT91SAM7 families.
The 'ATmega AVR JTAG' Lice nse Upgrade for Equinox ISP Programmers supports high-speed In-
System Programming (ISP) of Atmel ATmega AVR Microcontrollers via their on-chip JTAG port. The
JTAG algorithm yields much faster programming times (3 - 4 times faster) than the traditional SPI
algorithm due to an enhanced protocol an d hi g he r bus speed . It is al so po ssible to program multip le
AVR microcontrollers which are part of a JTAG Chain on the same Target System using the JTAG
algorithm.
Ideal programmer for devel opment, field service and pro duc tio n app lic a t ion s

Supports all popular ISP Headers to connect to the Target System
zAtmel 10-way SPI Header (as per STK200 / STK500)
zAtmel 6-way SPI Header
zEquinox 10-way SPI header with support fo r Slave Select & SCK2
zAtmel 10-way JTAG header (as per Atmel JTAG-ICE)
zEquinox 10-way UART header for Atmel T89C51Rx2 (8051) and Philips P89C 51 ISP FL ASH
microcontrollers
Main Features of JTAG Upgrade
zSupports high-speed JTAG programming of a single Atmel AVR microcontroller connected via
the JTAG interface
zSupports high-speed JTAG programming of multiple Atmel AVR microcontrollers which are
connected as part of a 'JTAG Chain' (JTAG daisy-chain mode).
zFast programming speeds via JTAG (3 - 4 times faster than SPI method)
zSimple 4-wire JTAG Interface to microcontroller
zSame JTAG Interface as Atmel JTAG ICE MK2 Debugger
zUser-selectabl e JTAG frequency
zSupports JTAG Chain Validation
zSupports checking of the 'JTAG ID' of both AVR and any generic JTAG devices eg. CPLD's
zSupports automatic checking of 'Silicon Revision' of target JTAG device
Advantages of JTAG Progra mmin g
zThe JTAG algorithm is approximately 3-4 times faster at programming compared to the SPI
algorithm.
zThe programming time using JTAG for the EEPROM is significantly faster than the SPI
algorithm
zThe JTAG algorithm uses the same ‘JTAG Port’ as the Atme l JTAG-ICE Debugger.
zIn JTAG mode is it possible to change the ‘Clock Selection Fuses’ to any value and still
program the chip. (with the exception of the ‘JTAGEN’ Fuse)
zIt is possible to daisy-chai n multiple JTAG devices on the JTAG bus in a so-called ‘JTAG
Chain’ and then select to program a particular device in the chain. This fun c tionality is now
supported by Equinox programmers running firmware 3.07 and above.
JTAG connections (Single JTAG Device)
zSupports high-speed JTAG programming of a single Atmel AVR microcontroller
zUses only 4 x JTAG pins + control of the AVR RESET pin
zUses the same JTAG port pins as used by the Atmel JTAG ICE debugger
JTAG Chain Programming Support

zSupports programming of Atmel AVR microcontrol lers wh ich are part of a 'JTAG Chain'
zAn individual 'Programming Project' is used to program a specific 'JTAG Device' in the 'JTAG
Chain'
zThe algorithm supports 'JTAG Chain' programming of both legacy AVR devices eg.
ATmega16 and newer AVR device s eg. ATmega2560 with the devic es placed in any order in
the JTAG Chain
zHigh-speed 'JTAG Chain' programming possible due to optimised algorithms
zSupports JTAG Chain validation (checks the integrity of the JTAG Chain)
zSupports checking of the 'JTAG ID' of any ot her non-AVR JTAG device eg. CPLD in the chain
ISP Header Pin-out
zEquinox programmers feature the same 1 0-way IDC connector as the Atmel JTAG ICE
debugger
zThe same JTAG interface can therefore be used for both deb ugging during the "dev elopment
phase" and "In-System Programming" during the "production phase"
