Integrated surge and short circuit monitor - Protects the target circuit and the host PC by detecting fault conditions and limiting potential damage during operation and programming. USB port with full speed interface - Full-speed USB connection at 12 Mbits/s provides reliable data transfer and control from a host PC without requiring special hardware. Read and write program and data memory of the microcontroller - Enables reading and updating the MCU program memory and data memory, supporting firmware updates, data retrieval, and debugging workflows. Voltage range and low voltage support - Operates across a 2.0 V to 6.0 V range, enabling use with a broad set of microcontrollers and battery-powered designs requiring low voltage operation. Use scenarios - Microcontroller development and programming - Connect to a host PC via USB, program the target microcontroller, and read back program or data memory as part of a standard development workflow. - Benefit from integrated surge/short circuit monitoring to reduce risk during code loading and memory test cycles. - Firmware updates and verification in a lab - Update firmware on target boards while monitoring for fault conditions. - Read data memory to verify correct memory contents and ensure firmware integrity in a controlled test environment. - Low voltage MCU projects and battery-powered designs - Work with designs powered in the 2.0 V to 6.0 V range, enabling convenient programming and memory access on low voltage systems without additional voltage adapters. Notes - Hardware provides essential protection during connection and programming - USB interface supports quick setup with standard host PCs - Suitable for projects requiring program memory and data memory access on microcontrollers within the stated voltage range
