SF100

SF100

SF100 is a compact USB based ISP programmer for SPI Flash and supported MCU devices. It enables fast, reliable in-circuit programming without removing components from the target board, making it ideal for firmware development, validation, and manufacturing applications.

Feature

The SF100 is a high-speed ‘In-System Programming’ (ISP) programmer designed to update the SPI Flash soldered on board or Freescale MCU using Ezport. This model is easily controlled by the DediProg Software on a computer through the USB bus, offering users a friendly interface and powerful features.

Highlights

  • USB Interface
  • Start button feature
  • Signal conflict protections
  • Capable of supplying power to the Serial Flash soldered on board for programming or utilizing an external power source
  • Control Application, controller reset, and MOSFET isolation status
  • Update the Freescale MCU’s internal Flash via Ezport (MCF5223, MCF5221, MCF5213) or the external SPI Flash through the SBF interface (MCF5445, MCF5227)
  • Capable of handling two serial flash memories (new feature; provided in SF100 with serial number DP001325, firmware 2.0.4, software 2.0.37 and after)
  • Multi-Programmers Capability
  • Support Windows 2003 and above
  • Support 32 bit or 64 bit OS
  • Support 1 CS pin

*Please note the programming and verify time will depend on different IC types; please refer to the IC specification before programming.

Hardware

SF100 is designed with an ISP header, through an appropriate connector; users can connect the programmer and drive the SPI signals, supply the memory, and control the controller or application status. Please refer to Table 1 for the SF100 2×7 header pin out. DediProg also provides the SF100 ISP Cable which is used to connect the SF100 programmer to the 2X4 2.54mm ISP Pin Header on board, please refer to Table 2 for the SF100 ISP Cable 2×4 pin out.
