The USBProg PIC programmer is finally in stock and available to order, see http://www.embedinc.com/products. This is a true professional quality PIC programmer that doesn't cut corners on the USB or PIC interfaces. It can produce the full range of specified Vdd and Vpp voltages from any valid USB power voltage and deliver at least 100mA supply current to the target circuit. It has a internal voltage reference and does not rely on the USB power voltage. Strong 150 ohm PGC and PGD drivers can tolerate significant capacitance added by the target circuit, while still remaining undamaged from shorts to 0-6 volts indefinitely. The USB interface provides "just works" operation. Multiple USBProgs can be connected to the same computer and distinguished by name. Variable Vpp allows direct support of PICs that require a lower programming voltage than the old standard of 13V, such as the 18F2520 and many others. This is the first USB PIC programmer that tries to "do it right". ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
