Supports In-System Programming (ISP) of
the following microcontroller families:
• Philips P89C51Rx+ (+12V Vpp)
• Philips P89C51Rx2 (No Vpp required)
• TEMIC T89C51RD2 (No Vpp required)
• Powerful ‘GEMINI’ programmer
interface software:
•• Compatible with Windows 95, 98 and NT
•• Device commands include Check Signature,
Blank Check, Erase, Read, Write, Verify, Security,
Auto-program
•• Powerful buffer system with Blank Check, Erase,
Fill, Goto and Checksum commands
•• Supports reading and writing of target device
fuse bits and lock bits
•• Supports Binary and Intel HEX file formats
•• User-configurable
~ RESET polarity
~ RESET timing state machine
~ Target Baud Rate
•• Context-sensitive help system
• Field upgradable firmware via
Internet downloadable utility -
caters for new programmer
algorithms in the future
• On-board Vpp generator (+12V)
• Programmer ‘Active’ signal - used to
drive an LED on the target system
• Connects to spare PC COM (serial)
port
• Robust ‘EMC-friendly’ design plus
I/O pin protection
• CE compliant product
The GEMINI-1 is a state-of-the-art
development programmer supporting the
new range of In-System Programmable (ISP)
microcontrollers from Philips
Semiconductors and TEMIC
Semiconductors. These microcontrollers
feature serially downloadable memory
allowing the CODE to be updated in-system
without physically removing the target
device from the application board. The
serial programming is via the on-chip UART.
General notes
The Gemini programmer:
• Supports the ISP (In-System Programming)
mode only.
• Automatically writes 00h into the ‘Status
Byte’ and ‘FCh’ into the ‘Boot Vector’ at
the end of every programming operation.
• Does NOT support custom ‘Boot Loaders’
using the ‘IAP’ (In Application Mode)
• Will only operate with a Vcc between
4.8V and 5.8V
• Does NOT support block ERASE or
READ/WRITE of the target microcontroller
FLASH memory.
Please Note:
This programmer is designed for development
use only.
