Product details
Overview
TPG100001 is the ICP2-PORTABLE universal in-circuit programmer from Softlog Systems, designed for field service and low-volume production programming of 8-bit microcontrollers via D-type 15F interface. It supports programmable VDD (2–5.5V), VPP (2–13.5V), clock/data speed (500 kHz–10 MHz), standalone operation, and serialization - powered by three AAA batteries or USB.
For engineers reviewing the TPG100001 datasheet, TPG100001 pinout, TPG100001 application, or TPG100001 equivalent, key selection criteria include portable battery-powered operation, 130×65×26 mm footprint, 50 mA max VDD current, 10 mA max VPP current, and support for standalone secure programming with counter-limited protection.
Technical Context
The TPG100001 implements a USB-hosted, battery-operated programming engine with dedicated voltage regulation for VDD and VPP, enabling direct target power delivery without external supplies. Its firmware supports remote activation of optional features including dsPIC/PIC24 support and secure programming via software license keys.
It uses a fixed 1-channel architecture with D-sub 15-pin female connector, operates in standalone mode with internal 4 MByte Flash memory for pattern storage, and delivers up to 5 mA clock/data drive current - sufficient for standard 8-bit MCU ISP interfaces such as Microchip PIC ICSP™.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPG100001?
The TPG100001 is the ICP2-PORTABLE model - a handheld, battery-powered universal in-circuit programmer for 8-bit microcontrollers. It performs standalone firmware programming via D-type 15F interface, supports programmable VDD/VPP, and stores algorithms internally in its 4 MByte Flash. Unlike rack-mounted variants, TPG100001 prioritizes portability and field usability over channel count or high-current drive.
Does the TPG100001 support dsPIC or PIC24 microcontrollers?
No, the base TPG100001 does not include dsPIC/PIC24 (16-bit) support. That capability requires the TPG10002 (ICP2-DP) or TPG10010 (ICP2PORT-P) variants, which are licensed upgrades. The TPG100001 firmware only supports 8-bit targets out-of-box, consistent with Softlog's published device compatibility list and ordering matrix.
Can the TPG100001 operate without a PC connection?
Yes, the TPG100001 supports fully standalone programming: once device algorithms and hex files are loaded via USB, it executes sequences autonomously using its internal 4 MByte Flash and real-time clock. No host PC, driver, or active USB link is required during programming - ideal for factory floor or field service use.
What power options does the TPG100001 offer?
The TPG100001 accepts dual power sources: three AAA batteries (enabling true portability) or USB bus power (5 V, limited to 40 mA per USB specification). It does not support external DC adapters. Battery operation sustains typical programming cycles for >8 hours; USB mode disables battery charging and limits VDD current to 40 mA.
Is secure programming available on the TPG100001?
Yes, secure programming is implemented on the TPG100001 via counter-limited protection - a built-in mechanism that restricts the number of allowed programming operations per device image. Full secure programming with encryption and license binding requires optional activation (S-feature), but the base TPG100001 includes the hardware and firmware foundation for this capability.
