UNIVERSAL PROGRAMMER–MINIPRO866

TL866 USB High Performance Programmer

Well-designed cheap professional programmer, Production of high-density
SMD technology, a unified user interface, easy to use, fully functional, reliable
program running of application software, ultra-small code -runs faster, supports
bilingual(English and Chinese), it can automatically identify the operating system
to install and run under WIN 2000/WIN XP/WIN 2003/WIN 2008/WIN VISTA
/WIN7/WIN8 (32BIit/64Bit).

Two models are available MINIPRO 866 CS & MINIPRO 866 A.The 866 A has
an additional advantage of ICSP – In Circuit Serial Programming – a real awesome
support for ON board programming of SMD chips.

ICSP now supports ATMEL89S51, 52, ATMEGA- AVR whole series and
MICROCHIP PIC10F, 12F, 16F, 18F whole series, SYNCMOS SM59Dxx /
SM59Rxx full range. Minipro programmer delivers outstanding performance in
supporting nearly 13k + devices that other similar products like Top win are not
capable.

Click “Install this driver software anyway “to bypass Windows verification.

Figure. TL866 Installation step-4

Click FINISH to complete the installation.

Now connect the Hardware unit to the USB port .Under Device Manager you can
see the device name as “MiniIProWdf” if the installation went through smoothly.

You’re all set to start the Programming. Open the IDE & if you get Reflash
Firmware window, just click on Tools Reflash Firmware from the IDE to install
the latest updates obviously you should connect the hardware to the USB & your
internet connection should be ON for this process. If there is no access to internet
the Reflash Firmware window appears again.

Once the Reflash is successful, click on the “Cancel” button. (Yes it is not OK
button, it is Cancel button) We shall see how to program PIC 16F877A IC. Under
Select IC à click Search and Select IC.

Figure. IC Select for Flash the Program-1

Under Type select MCU/MPU & start typing “PIC16F” inside the ‘search device’
space bar. All the related PIC ICs will be displayed on the right panel. Select the
target IC as, PIC16F877A. Click on Select.

Lock the handle by pressing it down. By clicking under DEVICE, you can perform
initial check for the IC .Blank check can be done & if you want to erase the chip,
click ERASE

Figure.Options for Devices

Select the HEX file & click Open.

Figure. Select HEX file

The File Load Options should be in the File format “INTEL HEX” .The Binary
option is to load a “bin” file. Here confirm INTEL HEX is selected.
 Figure. Open the Program File

Click the “R “button to READ the chip to the buffer.

Now remove the MASTER chip from the ZIF socket & place the SLAVE IC .This
IC should be a fresh blank one or erased one under UV light. Click on the “P”
button on the top to start copying the data on the buffer to the chip.

Same way you can make copy of PIC, AVR or 8051 Microcontrollers.

The Outstanding advantages of TL866 programmer

1. Support simultaneously burn with 4 Programmers each computer.

2. Best internal 40 foot over voltage protection, the strongest VCC/VPP 4-level
over current protection. The short circuit does not reset the PC.
Wide range of chip 13000+ support, support for serial and parallel series
40/44/48PIN large capacity FLASH.
3. Unique serial ICSP interface. Supporting the serial download and high-speed
parallel high voltage programming. Note: TL866CS does not support ICSP.
4. Test CMOS4000 74/54 series integrated circuit. Can be located in the gate
circuit error.
5. Chip auto serial number is the most complete and practical.
6. Original chip encryption operation on AVR microcontroller with internal RC
Calibration byte. The Decrypt software cannot be directly run on another
same type of chip.
