What is In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)? In-System Programming (ISP) is a technique where a programmable device is programmed after the device is placed in a circuit board. In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) is an enhanced ISP technique implemented in Microchip’s PICmicro® One-Time-Programmable (OTP) and FLASH RISC microcontrollers (MCU). Use of only two I/O pins to serially input and output data makes ICSP easy to use and less intrusive on the normal operation of the MCU. Because they can accommodate rapid code changes in a manufacturing line, PICmicro OTP and FLASH MCUs offer tremendous flexibility, reduce development time and manufacturing cycles, and improve time to market. In-Circuit Serial Programming enhances the flexibility of the PICmicro even further.

ICSP is truly an enabling technology that can be used in a variety of ways including:

• Reduce Cost of Field Upgrades The cost of upgrading a system’s code can be dramatically reduced using ICSP. With very little effort and planning, a PICmicro OTP- or FLASH- based system can be designed to have code updates in the field. For PICmicro FLASH devices, the entire code memory can be rewritten with new code. In PICmicro OTP devices, new code segments and parameter tables can be easily added in program memory areas left blank for update purpose. Often, only a portion of the code (such as a key algorithm) requires update.

• Reduce Time to Market In instances where one product is programmed with different customer codes, generic systems can be built and inventoried ahead of time. Based on actual mix of customer orders, the PICmicro MCU can be programmed using ICSP, then tested and shipped. The lead-time reduction and simplification of finished goods inventory are key benefits.

• Calibrate Your System During Manufacturing Many systems require calibration in the final stages of manufacturing and testing. Typically, calibration parameters are stored in Serial EEPROM devices. Using PICmicro MCUs, it is possible to save the additional system cost by programming the calibration parameters directly into the program memory.

• Add Unique ID Code to Your System During Manufacturing Many products require a unique ID number or a serial number. An example application would be a remote keyless entry device. Each transmitter has a unique “binary key” that makes it very easy to program in the access code at the very end of the manufacturing process and prior to final test. Serial number, revision code, date code, manufacturer ID and a variety of other useful information can also be added to any product for traceability. Using ICSP, you can eliminate the need for DIP switches or jumpers. In fact, this capability is so important to many of our customers that Microchip offers a factory programming service called Serialized Quick Turn Programming (SQTPSM), where each PICmicro MCU device is coded with up to 16 bytes of unique code.

• Calibrate Your System in the Field Calibration need not be done only in the factory During installation of a system, ICSP can be used to further calibrate the system to actual operating environment. In fact, recalibration can be easily done during periodic servicing and maintenance. In OTP parts, newer calibration data can be written to blank memory locations reserved for such use.

• Customize and Configure Your System in the Field Like calibration, customization need not be done in the factory only. In many situations, customizing a product at installation time is very useful. A good example is home or car security systems where ID code, access code and other such information can be burned in after the actual configuration is determined. Additionally, you can save the cost of DIP switches and jumpers, which are traditionally used.

Programming Interface For In-Circuit Serial Programming, the programmer is connected to the target using as few wires as possible. To program any PIC microcontroller in any target system, a simple Five-wire interface is used to connect the programmer to the target PCB. The data is transferred using a two wire synchronous serial scheme, with the clock always controlled by the programmer. The ICSP signals are:.

GND Negative power input to the PIC and the zero volts reference for the remaining signals. Voltages of the other signals are implicitly with respect to GND.

Vdd This is the positive power input to the PIC. Some programmers require this to be provided by the circuit (circuit must be at least partially powered up), some programmers expect to drive this line themselves and require the circuit to be off, while others can be configured either way (like the Microchip ICD2). The Embed Inc programmers expect to drive the Vdd line themselves and require the target circuit to be off during programming.

Vpp Programming mode voltage. This must be connected to the MCLR pin, or the Vpp pin of the optional ICSP port available on some large-pin count PICs. To put the PIC into programming mode, this line must be in a specified range that varies from PIC to PIC. For 5V PICs, this is always some amount above Vdd, and can be as high as 13.5V. The 3.3V only PICs like the 18FJ, 24H, and 33F series use a special signature to enter programming mode and Vpp is a digital signal that is either at ground or Vdd. There is no one Vpp voltage that is within the valid Vpp range of all PICs. In fact, the minimum required Vpp level for some PICs can damage other PICs.

PGC Clock line of the serial data interface. This line swings from GND to Vdd and is always driven by the programmer. Data is transferred on the falling edge.

PICIPro

PICIPro programmer is JDM design based programmer which support Serial Port ICSP (In

Circuit Serial Programmer) + Standalone programmer for PIC microcontrollers. With auto detect

programmer and chip options. Along with complementary software, PICIPro programmer represents as an irreplaceable tool for those who are working with PIC microcontroller. By means of this programmer, it is possible to program almost any PIC microcontroller. The PICIPro programmer is connected to the microcontroller via Six lines and through PC by serial port. Two of them are GND and one +5V, while others are:

VPP (Programming Mode Voltage)

PGC (Clock Line for Serial Data Interface)

PGD (Serial Data Laine)

These lines are contained with 6-pin male connector, in which 6 pin of connector connected with GND. When creating target device, the appropriate 6-pin female connector should be placed on it and connector pins should be connected to the microcontroller pins. Their position varies depending on the microcontroller’s type’s package. Exact connection schematics are provided

at PICIPro Programmer Interface section.

Note: If your target device uses

Microcontroller programming pins for

the operation of some other

peripherals, then it should be

enabled to these peripherals to be

disconnected during programming.

During normal operation of target

device, the programmer should be

disconnected.

There is no need external power supply when separately (Out of Board) PIC controller is

programming using PICIPro because sufficient power supply is provided

by PC Rs232 port.

PIC Flash Software (PICPgm)

To be able to send hex file from your computer to PIC microcontroller you will need a software

tool, for that here is one tool which you can use it for programming PIC microcontrollers. The

tool is PICPgm. Instal PICPgm from CD, given with PICIPro programmer package.

Below is a short tutorial to use PICPgm to programmer PIC microcontroller using PICIPro.

• Connect the PICIPro programmer

hardware to your PC. Note: Do not

use USB to SERIAL converter.

• The PICIPro programmer hardware

shall not connected with PIC

microcontroller. Now start the

PICPgm tool. It shall detect the

PICIPro automatically.

• If it does not detect the programmer or detects

the wrong programmer, manually select the

hardware and the PC port it is connected to

(Menu: Hardware => Hardware Selection /

Configuration).

• Connect PICIPro with PIC microcontroller

which you have to program. Next, autodetect

the PIC microcontroler by pressing the

"Autodetects PIC" button in the toolbar.

If the PIC microcontroller is not getting

detected, manually select the PIC via the

combo box in the toolbar.

Note: Some PICs cannot be automatically identified because they don't have a device ID.

This PICs are marked with a "*" at the end of the name in the device list for manual PIC

selection. These PICs must be selected manually!

• Load the HEX file to be programmed by

using the "Browse" button in the

"Options" tab. Alternatively, load the

HEX file via the menu: "File" => "Load

HEX file ...".

• Finally, program the PIC by using the

"Program PIC" button in the toolbar.
