2.4.6 Programmer only powered from PC USB port
•
The programmer electronics (not the
Target System) is powered from the PC
USB port.
•
The host PC USB port must be capable
of supplying at least 70mA otherwise the
programmer will not function correctly.
•
The jumper link
‘USB-POWER’ (LK1)
should be fitted.
•
The Target System must be powered
from an independent power supply.

signal on the ISP Header as this voltage
is used to power the
‘I/O Level
Convertor’.
