Description
Product Overview
The Mini USBISP USBASP Programmer is a compact and efficient in-system programmer (ISP) designed specifically for 51 series and Atmel AVR microcontrollers. Based on the open-source usbasp design by Thomas Fischl, this tool connects directly to your computer’s USB port, allowing you to program, erase, and configure compatible chips without removing them from their circuit .
Housed in a sleek aluminum casing, this programmer is both durable and effective at heat dissipation, making it a reliable choice for long-term use in development labs, educational settings, and industrial applications . Compact and portable, it is the ideal tool for laptop users who lack a traditional parallel port, offering a faster and more stable programming experience than legacy methods .
The programmer features robust protection with a 500mA self-recovery fuse and 20-ohm isolation resistors, guarding your expensive computer motherboard and the target device against short circuits and overcurrent conditions . It is widely compatible with development software such as Progisp and avr_fighter .
Key Features
-
USB Interface & Driver-Free: Simple connection via USB, supports USB 1.0/2.0. True plug-and-play experience—no complicated driver installation required on most systems. “Driver-Free” means the device is recognized by generic system drivers, though some may still require
libusbinstallation for specific software . -
Aluminum Shell & Compact Design: Robust aluminum housing improves heat dissipation and mechanical durability. The mini size is highly portable and space-efficient .
-
Over-Current Protection: Built-in 500mA self-recovery fuse and 20-ohm isolation resistors protect the PC USB port from accidental shorts and current surges .
-
Standard 10-Pin IDC Interface: Uses the standard ISP connector (IDC10) for seamless connection to target boards and development kits .
-
Wide Microcontroller Support: Supports a huge range of AVR chips (ATmega, ATtiny, AT90) and 51 series chips (e.g., AT89S51, AT89S52) .
-
High-Speed Stable Programming: Faster and more stable than parallel port ISPs; the best choice for modern computers without legacy ports .
-
Status Indicator Lights: Red and blue/green LEDs clearly indicate power status and data transmission activity .
