PIC ICSP Sch & PCB

an589 pcb

Hello

I need to build a PIC ICSP, I want the schematic, PCB design, and a recommended software programmer to use it with that ICSP.

The ISCP better using LPT, rather than com port.

The PCB design better be single sided, using through hole components.

Please no need to redirect me to other pages, uploading here is much preferred.

BTW, I need ProPIC2 Sch & PCB single sided design, any of help.

Thanks

Hello

I wanted to know if any one can explain how can I use an ICSP connection between the PIC and programmer while the PIC is still in the circuit.

What procedures should I carry on to make the ICSP work, and what connectios should I isolate the PIC from while ICSP is connected to the circuit.

Regards

I think you will find all the information you need in the attached application note from microchip.

Hope it helps

Ps: you can also find this application note in microchip site, but unfortunatly I don't remember anymore the link so I upload it here for you.

icsp pcb

HI

I'm currently using ICSP for SMT PIC 16F876.
I had a lot of problems trying to program PIC16f876A using ICSP and i had to switch to PIC16f876. I used jdm to program it. but is better to use a modifyed JDM circuit.

To program by ICSP you have to use a 5 pins connector. 2 pind for clock and data, one for gnd one to take mclr to 13V and the last for 5v power supply.

Ports RB6 and RB7 for data and clock have to be isolated from circuit during programming i also use to isolate 5v power supply to avoi other components dissipating power. Usually MCLR is connected directly to 5V and to gnd by electrolitic capacitor to absorbe spikes. i use to connect positive side of capacitor to mclr trough a diode for normal use and programming pin directly to mclr to avoid charging capacitor during program function.

as programing software i use ponyprog.

In JDM picture there is PIC 16C84 but ICSP schematic is the same for all pics.

Usually is better to use a powerd hardware to program pic. JDM is only powered by serial port.

isolate mclr

Hello

Thanks guys for the help.

Now, shall I use switches to isolate RB6 & RB7. Is it enough to isolate these pins, or shall I also isolate MCLR, and Vcc.

I usually use switches to isolate Vcc, and RB6 and RB7 only if necessary(depending on application and load. If you have some capacitors on Rb6 and Rb7 you better isolate them. Mclr is usually isolated by a diode.

Hello!

I have a curcuit witch work, wit PIC18F4431. Now I buy PIC16F877A, it is pin compatibel with 18F, but I can't programm it!!!
I can programm 18F, but 16F I can not programm? WHY? does eny bodey know?

I have on board programmator.


Thanks

hi, krzychu_pl

is your circuit that you uploaded (pic programmer cicuit diagram.pdf) can be used for program pic16f876a?

thanks for your help

If your interested in a serial programmer try my post, it is complete with modified diagram for icsp, board design and software.
