CCS LOAD-N-GO HANDHELD IN-CIRCUIT PROGRAMMER

In-Circuit Serial Programming & Debugging

For use as an In-Circuit Serial Programmer simply connect LOAD-n-GO to a PC. Then, using the provided CCSLOAD Programmer Control Software, simply select “ICSP” from the main menu. Programming is effortless: select the program to be placed in the selected memory bank, verify the file (and that the target device is shown) and click 'Burn Chip'. Nothing to it!

LOAD-n-GO can also function as an In-Circuit Debugger when used with the CCS C-Aware IDE Compiler with Real-time Advanced Debugging! LOAD-n-GO debug support covers all targets that have debug mode, not to mention all 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit Microchip PIC® MCU or Flash Devices.

LOAD-n-GO can also be paired with Tag-Connect, a cost saving production ICSP Programming cable that eliminates the need for a ICSP connector on your product. Tag Connect provides a direct pin-to-circuit connection, saving space on your PCB. The modular end works with existing ICD programmers as well as the LOAD-n-GO.


Power Options

Power the LOAD-n-GO with 4 AA batteries or with the provided 9V DC adapter. Under battery power, the unit will conserve battery life with an auto-shutoff feature after 5 minutes of idle time. Rest assured that your programs are safely stored even after power-down or auto-shutoff. Note also that the LOAD-n-GO can be used to provide 5V, 3.3V or 2.5V to the target board, but it involves inserting a shunt jumper on the LOAD-n-GO circuit board. To access these jumpers, open the enclosure by removing the 4 screws on the back, and find the marked locations of the jumpers on the circuit board.
