Product details
Overview
TPG100010 from Softlog is a production-grade, battery-powered in-circuit service programmer for Microchip 8-bit/16-bit PIC® MCUs, dsPIC® DSCs, and serial EEPROMs. It supports programmable Vdd (2.0–5.5V), Vpp (2.0–13.5V), clock/data speed (500 kHz–2.5 MHz), 4 MB on-board flash for six environments, and three serialization schemes.
For engineers reviewing the TPG100010 datasheet, TPG100010 pinout, TPG100010 application, or TPG100010 equivalent, key selection factors include field-deployable power options (AAA/USB/adapter), dsPIC/PIC24 support (Option P), programmable Vdd/Vpp sequencing, and non-volatile environment storage for service programming workflows.
Technical Context
The TPG100010 implements an ICP2PORT-P architecture with integrated USB interface, onboard flash memory, and configurable voltage control logic. It delivers precise Vdd–Vpp delay (0.1–250 ms), Vdd current limiting (50 mA), and dual-source Vdd selection (programmer or target).
It supports full ICSP™ protocol compliance for Microchip devices and enables secure field upgrades via encrypted environment files. The device operates without host PC dependency during programming execution after environment loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Vdd Range | 2.0–5.5V; programmable to match target MCU supply tolerance and avoid brown-out during programming. |
| Vpp Range | 2.0–13.5V; covers high-voltage programming requirements for legacy and modern PIC/dsPIC families. |
| Clock Speed | 500 kHz–2.5 MHz; adjustable to optimize programming time vs. signal integrity on long or noisy traces. |
| Vdd–Vpp Delay | 0.1–250 ms; ensures safe power-up sequencing to prevent latch-up or core damage on sensitive targets. |
| On-board Storage | 4 MB flash; stores up to six complete programming environments (hex + config + counter + encryption keys) for offline field use. |
| Power Sources | 3×AAA batteries, USB bus power, or external adapter; enables portable, bench, and production-line deployment modes. |
| Vdd Current Limit | 50 mA; protects both programmer and target from overcurrent during Vdd sourcing or fault conditions. |

FAQ
What devices does the TPG100010 support?
The TPG100010 supports Microchip 8-bit PIC® MCUs (e.g., PIC10F, PIC12F, PIC16F, PIC18F), 16-bit PIC MCUs, dsPIC® DSCs, and serial EEPROMs. Its Option P designation confirms native dsPIC/PIC24 support - verified in Softlog's official model comparison table and Microchip's part listing. TPG100010 does not support PIC32 or Keeloq devices per published notes.
Does the TPG100010 require a PC during programming?
No - the TPG100010 can execute pre-loaded programming environments autonomously using its 4 MB on-board flash memory. A PC is only required to load or update environments via USB. Once configured, TPG100010 operates fully offline, making it ideal for remote service depots or factory floor stations without host connectivity.
How does the TPG100010 handle power sequencing for sensitive targets?
The TPG100010 provides programmable delay (0.1–250 ms) between Vdd and Vpp assertion, plus independent Vdd source selection (programmer or target). Combined with Vdd current limiting (50 mA) and overload protection, this prevents latch-up, core damage, or reset instability during ICSP™ operations on low-power or mixed-voltage targets.
Can the TPG100010 perform secure programming?
The base TPG100010 (ICP2PORT-P) does not include Secure Programming (Option S) enabled by default. However, Softlog offers remote activation of security features - including encrypted environment files and device counters - via firmware upgrade. This capability must be separately licensed and provisioned; it is not pre-installed on standard TPG100010 units.
What power options are supported by the TPG100010?
The TPG100010 supports three independent power sources: 3×AAA batteries (enabling true portability), USB bus power (for bench use), and external DC adapter (sold separately per Note 4). All sources power the full feature set, including Vpp generation and flash storage, with automatic source selection and seamless switchover.
