Product details
Overview
TPG100009 from Softlog is a battery-powered, portable in-circuit service programmer for field upgrades of Microchip 8-bit/16-bit PIC MCUs, dsPIC DSCs, and serial EEPROMs. It supports six non-volatile programming environments, programmable Vdd (2.0–5.5V) and Vpp (2.0–13.5V), and operates via USB, AAA batteries, or external adapter.
For engineers reviewing the TPG100009 datasheet, TPG100009 pinout, TPG100009 application, or TPG100009 equivalent, key selection considerations include field-deployable power flexibility, on-board 4MB flash for multi-environment storage, serialization support (sequential/random/user file), and programmable timing parameters including Vdd-Vpp delay (0.1–250ms) and clock/data speed (500kHz–2.5MHz).
Technical Context
The TPG100009 implements an embedded microcontroller-based control architecture with dedicated voltage regulation circuitry for independent Vdd and Vpp sourcing. Its firmware manages environment switching, counter enforcement, and serialization logic without host PC dependency during programming cycles.
It uses a base-drive capability configuration (not high-current), supports only single-channel operation, and lacks DLL/command-line (D), dsPIC/PIC24 (P), or Security (S) options - all disabled by default and not remotely activatable on this model per Softlog documentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Programming Channels | Single-channel; supports one target device per session, no daisy-chaining capability. |
| On-Board Storage | 4MB flash memory; stores up to six complete programming environments with hex data, config bits, and optional counters. |
| Vdd Range | 2.0–5.5V programmable; selectable source (programmer or target), with 50mA current limit and overload protection. |
| Vpp Range | 2.0–13.5V programmable; includes Vpp/Vdd sequencing delay (0.1–250ms) and capacitive load handling up to 22nF. |
| Clock Speed | 500kHz–2.5MHz programmable; enables optimization for legacy vs. high-speed PIC/dsPIC devices. |
| Power Sources | USB bus power, 3×AAA batteries (included), or external adapter (not included); enables true field-portable operation. |
| Serialization Modes | Sequential, random, and user-file (1–8 bytes); allows unique device ID injection during programming without host software. |

Manufacturer
Softlog Systems is a specialist developer of production-grade in-circuit programmers since 1998, headquartered in Germany, focused on reliability, security, and field-deployable programming solutions for Microchip and other MCU platforms.
The ICP2PORT product line - including TPG100009 - was designed specifically for portable, battery-powered service programming in uncontrolled environments, emphasizing robustness, standalone operation, and simplified logistics over high-throughput or secure manufacturing features.
FAQ
What is the primary use case for the TPG100009?
The TPG100009 is primarily used for field-service firmware updates and on-site device reprogramming where portability, battery operation, and multi-environment storage are essential. Unlike benchtop or gang programmers, the TPG100009 enables technicians to carry a single device capable of executing six distinct programming jobs without laptop dependency - making it ideal for maintenance depots, repair centers, and distributed IoT node servicing.
Does the TPG100009 support dsPIC or PIC24 devices?
No, the TPG100009 does not support dsPIC or PIC24 devices. Per Softlog's official model comparison table, only models with the "-DS" suffix (e.g., TPG100002, TPG100007) include dsPIC/PIC24 Support (Option P). The TPG100009 is designated as "ICP2PORT" with Base drive capability and no activated P option - its supported targets are limited to 8-bit and 16-bit PIC MCUs and serial EEPROMs.
Can security features like Secure Programming be added to the TPG100009?
No, Secure Programming (Option S) cannot be added to the TPG100009. Softlog explicitly states that Keeloq (K) and PIC32 (X) options are unavailable for ICP2PORT models, and Option S is only offered on ICP2-DS (TPG100002/TPG100007) and ICP2GANG-DS (TPG100006) variants. The TPG100009 lacks both hardware and firmware provisions for ADMIN/USER-level encryption, secure buffer, or remote environment file decryption.
What power sources are compatible with the TPG100009?
The TPG100009 accepts three power sources: USB bus power (5V), three AAA batteries (included), or an external DC adapter (not included). Unlike ICP2GANG models, it does not require a proprietary adapter; any standard 5–12V DC input works. Battery operation enables fully standalone use - critical for field technicians performing upgrades in locations without USB hosts or wall outlets.
How many programming environments can the TPG100009 store, and how are they managed?
The TPG100009 stores up to six independent programming environments in its 4MB on-board flash memory. Each environment contains full hex data, configuration bits, serialization settings, and an optional device counter. Environments are selected manually via front-panel buttons or preloaded via USB before deployment - no host PC is required during field execution. This enables rapid job switching across different product SKUs or revision levels without reconnection.
