Presto - Fast and Flexible USB Programmer

PRESTO is a powerful, very fast and cost effective programmer for a wide range of popular microcontrollers, serial EEPROMs and CPLDs.

PRESTO is optimized for speed and it is really very fast, for example a PIC18F8720 is programmed and verified in 6 seconds! (3 seconds for programming and 3 seconds for verification). Complete eCOG1 in less than 3 seconds.

PRESTO directly supports In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) by way of a dedicated connector and an included cable.

The target application device can be either powered by PRESTO (5 V nominally) or can be powered by an application within a voltage range 3 to 5 V (with 10% tolerance).

The GO button allows the user to start device programming comfortably, without the need to use the PC keyboard or mouse. LEDs indicate programmer status.

Overcurrent limitation of target supply and programming voltages reduces the risk of damaging the parts because of user mistakes. Target supply overvoltage detection is also implemented.

PRESTO is powered from the USB bus, so there is no need for any additional supply adaptor.
