Introduction
This in-system programmer cable communicates serially with Atmel´s AT89S/AT89LP microcontrollers and reprograms them in the circuit without removal. For surface-mounted devices, eliminating this step greatly reduces the possibility of damages caused by insertion/ removal of delicate leads, and allows for design changes and software/parameter updates in the field.
AT89ISP Software
The AT89ISP software is the primary means for performing in-system programming (ISP) of Atmel AT89S/AT89LP devices. It provides an intuitive interface for insystem programming that can be run from a personal computer. The software will run under the Windows® 9x/ME/2000/XP, Windows NT® operating systems. The software has a comprehensive set of features that allows a user to view, program, and erase data from an Atmel AT89S/AT89LP device. A detailed Adobe® Acrobat® document describing the features/functions of the software accompanies it.
