Programmer Power Supply Requirements
The programmer draws its power from the target system. To ensure that the programmer
operates reliably, it is imperative that the target power supply meets the voltage and current
requirements of the programmer shown in the ‘Systems Specifications’ section of the manual.
When programming target devices which require a +12Vpp, care should be taken to ensure
that the target power supply can cope with the inrush current as the Gemini ‘Vpp Generator
Circuit’ switches on.
Failure to meet these requirement may result in erratic programmer
operation as the programmer will automatically reset itself when an unstable supply is detected.
Power supply design notes:
The suggested circuit shown in figure 26 is capable of reliably supplying +5V to both the target
and the programmer. The capacitors C1,C2,C3,C4 shown must be fitted to ensure that the
regulator does not oscillate. Failure to fit these components can result in spurious oscillations of
the ‘Target Vcc’ supply which can cause the programmer to automatically reset itself. The diode
D1 protects against accidental reverse polarity of the external power supply. The diode D2
protects the regulator in the event of the target system trying to discharge back towards the
power supply input.
Important Note
i Please check that the specification of your target power supply meets the required specification
for the programmer. If you encounter erratic operation of the programmer, please use an
oscilloscope to check that the ‘Target Vcc’ is within limits and that there are no glitches on the
supply. Also, check that the Vcc ripple and noise are within acceptable limits.
ii If you are using the Philips ‘P89C51Rx+ ISP Target Board’ with this programmer, please ensure
that you add capacitors C1 and C2 to the board. Without these components, the target Vcc
oscillates and causes the programmer to continuously reset.
