You can easily use a PC's printer port for serial-EEPROM programming. You can use a device-programmer circuit used to program the MicroWire serial EE-PROM 93CXX (Figure 1). The circuit is so simple ...

We all know that solderless breadboards have their limitations. All that stray capacitance can play hell with circuits, especially high-speed stuff, but they’re so darn useful that avoiding them in ...

Turn on the EMP-20 Programmer (in back). There is a power light next to the ZIF socket (Zero Insertion Force) and the ZIF’s handle should be straight up. Set the "T" switch on the shelf next to the ...

A special adapter designed to handle the recently introduced Miniature Array Package (MAP) from Atmel Corp. is aimed at simplifying the programming and testing of Atmel's AT24C01A/02/04/08/16 2-wire ...

The [IMSAI Guy] has posted a follow-up video with all the details of how he programs GAL22V10 chips in the modern era. We noted that this was missing from his stepper motor project a few days ago, and ...

Microchip’s latest addition to its 8- and 14-pin 8-bit PIC microcontroller (MCU) family is the PIC12F617 which features 3.5kbyte of self-programmable flash program memory. It also has peripherals such ...

The major component of this circuit is Microchip’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, which is a pin-for-pin compatible with typical 8051 microcontroller devices. It has a built-in timer used to produce accurate ...
