Product details
Overview
ST7-STICK/US from STMicroelectronics is a low-cost in-circuit programming tool for ST7 Flash microcontrollers, implementing the In-Circuit Communication (ICC) protocol via a 10-pin HE-10 connector and parallel port interface to host PC. It supports ICP of ST72Fxxx MCUs (excluding ST72F6xx USB variants) and enables firmware programming directly on application boards or ST7SBxx socket boards.
For engineers reviewing the ST7-STICK/US datasheet, ST7-STICK/US pinout, ST7-STICK/US application, or ST7-STICK/US equivalent, key selection considerations include ICC protocol compatibility, parallel port host interface requirement, ST72Fxxx MCU support scope, and integration with STVP7/STVD7 software tools.
Technical Context
The ST7-STICK/US implements ST's proprietary In-Circuit Communication (ICC) protocol to perform in-circuit programming (ICP) of ST7 Flash microcontrollers without requiring chip removal. It operates as a bridge between a Windows host PC (via parallel port) and target ST7 devices soldered on application boards or mounted on ST7SBxx socket boards.
It requires no external power supply - powered entirely through the ICC interface from the target ST7 board. Communication uses five ICC signals: VDD, VSS, ICCCLK, ICCDAT, and RESET - all routed through the supplied 10-pin HE-10 cable to standard ICC headers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Interface Type | Parallel port (IEEE 1284-compatible) host connection - requires legacy LPT port on PC; no USB or driver installation needed. |
| Target Protocol | ST In-Circuit Communication (ICC) - dedicated 5-signal protocol (VDD, VSS, ICCCLK, ICCDAT, RESET) for ST7 Flash programming. |
| Connector | 10-pin HE-10 female header - mates with standard ICC headers on ST7 application boards and ST7SBxx socket boards. |
| Supported MCUs | ST72Fxxx series Flash MCUs except ST72F6xx (USB-capable variants) - verified per ST documentation and STVP7 v3.2+ compatibility list. |
| Power Source | Bus-powered via ICC interface - draws VDD from target board; no external power adapter or USB bus power required. |
Availability
ST7-STICK/US is available at Aetrix Electronics and suitable for embedded prototyping, ST7-based educational labs, small-batch ST7 firmware validation, and legacy industrial controller reprogramming requiring stable component supply and documented ICC toolchain support.
Supply support for ST7-STICK/US includes scheduled delivery planning, volume procurement assistance, BOM continuity management, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle availability coordination for OEM customers, industrial embedded developers, connected-device designers, and electronics production programs.
Manufacturer
STMicroelectronics is a global semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, specializing in microcontrollers, power management, sensors, and automotive ICs.
The ST7-STICK/US belongs to ST's legacy ST7 ecosystem tooling line, designed specifically to accelerate development and field programming of ST7 Flash microcontrollers using minimal-cost, PC-hosted hardware.
FAQ
Does ST7-STICK/US support USB host connection?
No. The ST7-STICK/US connects exclusively via a standard parallel (LPT) port. It lacks USB interface circuitry or firmware, and no official USB adapter or driver was ever released by STMicroelectronics. Modern PCs without parallel ports require an IEEE 1284-compliant PCI or PCIe parallel card.
Which ST7 microcontrollers are incompatible with ST7-STICK/US?
The ST72F6xx family - specifically ST72F62x, ST72F63x, and ST72F65x - are explicitly excluded due to USB bootloader architecture differences and lack of ICC protocol support. All other ST72Fxxx Flash MCUs (e.g., ST72F264, ST72F324, ST72F362) are supported per ST's 2005 Data Brief.
Can ST7-STICK/US be used for debugging or real-time tracing?
No. The ST7-STICK/US is a dedicated in-circuit programming tool only. It does not implement debug wire (SWIM) or JTAG interfaces. Debugging and real-time tracing require ST's ST-LINK-compatible tools or the ST7SBxx socket board paired with STVD7's simulator mode - not hardware debug capability.
Is ST7 Visual Programmer (STVP7) still available for download?
Yes. STMicroelectronics maintains archived access to STVP7 v3.2.3 (last official release) via its legacy product support portal. The installer runs on Windows XP–Windows 10 (32-bit mode), and full online help and flash algorithm files for ST72Fxxx devices remain publicly hosted by ST.
