WIN10(32BIit/64Bit).
Note: The following performance list
The great part of other development programmers are not comparable to its functions◆ that is not
easy to reach.
High Speed Programming◆This programmer has Built-in MCU with high-performance and high-
capacity USB interface ◆at the communication speed of 12Mbps£¬ being in line with ( For each chip)
well-designed programming algorithm and USB high-speed communications. It may be one of the
fastest integrated development programmers, the speed has been met the needs of small-quantity
efficient production.
Compared to similar products, some chips' programming speed is several times faster, even more
than 10 times. For 4Mbits parallel FLASH ROM, the upgrade programmer (Version 3.01 or above) takes
only about 35 seconds to finish programming (the total time of erase, write, verify). It only takes about 32
+79 seconds to read and write a 32MB TE28F320. In most cases, the parallel flash chip can be
programmed at the same time it can be verified. The programming will be immediately stopped if there
is an error. It only takes about 12 sec (read) +18 sec (write) to read and write an 8 Mbits of serial 25P80.
It only takes about 98 sec +160 sec to read and write a chip of 64MB capacity. It supports common 8-
PIN and 16-PIN 25 series chip with large capacity.
Note: 16MB or larger capacity flash chip cannot be programmed by general programmers
because of programming speed, while the TL866 programmer can widely support 64MB Serial
and parallel series of chips to 48PIN. It provides with the remarkable quality that is distinct from
other common programmer.

Unique ultra-low power£ºThe whole programmer is equipped with the ultra-low power chips and it is
furnished with electricity via USB Interface. It is the first comprehensive programmer to program all the
chips without an external power supply. Their own power consumption is less than 20mA (it is 7mA when
the programmer is not programming, LED power indicator use largest electricity, 5mA each one) and
Programming power loss rate is less than 20% so that the programmer can supply the high VCC VPP
programming electric current. Programmable chip can be provided with enough programming power
(the largest programming power output is 2 watts that is impossible for a chip to use 2 watts of
programming power). And you hardly feel the heat of the programmer after such long continuous work.
easily portable performance£ºThis is one of the smallest products in the world and the dimensions
are 10CM*6CM*2.5CM (it is as small as a driving license). In addition, you don't need to carry with an
external power supply because of its ultra-low power that makes it more portable.
 ◆ Programmable programming power supply: VPP and VCC programming voltages are
independently program-controlled: programmable VCC is from 3.3V to 6.5V; VPP is from 3.3V to 21V.
The fluctuation of power supply is minor because of the multi-stage LC filter.
Best overvoltage, overcurrent protection: VCC, VPP power supply of the Programmer is furnished
with the independent Grade 3 overcurrent protection and the protection of automatically cutting off power
supply. Each pin of 40-pin programming socket has VPP overvoltage protection. It can effectively
prevent from putting a chip in the wrong place or short circuit due to other reason. In this programming
case, it can also stop VPP high voltage from coming back to the internal of the programmer and
damaging the device. Really make sure that the programmer will not be damaged when there is any
worst-case short circuit. At the same time, the programmed chip can be efficiently protected.
This programmer will cut off the programming power supply VPP and VCC within 100us and send the
message to the application program when there is short circuit. The programmer and PC won't be reset
when there is short circuit because of the multilevel overcurrent protection.
◆ 40PIN universal pin: It is the most versatile pin among 40PIN quasi-universal pins. You don't need to
move or turn around the chip when programming, just congruously put the chip forward and the handle
direction of the programmer is the PIN1 place. Its design accords with the common operating habit of
user.
◆ This programmer is equipped with upgrading Function of the built-in hardware firmware program
that can make sure your programmer's firmware flash and application software can be timely updated.
You can complete the upgrade by downloading the upgrading program through the manufacturer's
website.
Second development function of chip serial number£ºThis programmer has a variety of automatic
numbering functions that are used commonly. You can get any serial number through DLL Dynamic Link
Libraries by using the custom algorithm. In mass production, the function enables each chip to produce
only one identifying information that can be encrypted by the custom algorithm. So you can effectively
protect your rights as a customer.

Unique universal serial programming interface ICSP(Only TL866A can support, TL866CS cannot
use this function)
This TL866A programmer can program through the 40-PIN universal socket and is provided with an
ICSP serial programming port. For some in-circuit serial programmable chips, you can program MCU by
choosing ICSP port. You can get the clear instruction diagram in the programming software for the ICSP
port wiring method. That is to say, you can directly program and update the chip soldered on the board.
Note: Now ICSP can in-circuit serial program ATMEL89S51, ATMEL89S52, AT45DBxxx, a whole
series of AVR ATMEGAxxx, MICROCHIP PIC10Fxxx 12Fxxx 16Fxxx 18Fxxx, as well as a full serial of
SYNCMOS SM59Dxx SM59Rxx. The variety of microcontroller that can be supported in-circuit
programming will be continually increased in the future. Six ICSP wires of this programmer, except a
ground wire, other wires led full functional I2C, SPI and UART serial main wire, be suitable for all kinds of
serial communication. In addition, each wire can supply VCC, VPP or GND with high current.
superb 54/74F/LS/HC CMOS4000 series IC functional tests: This is the first development
programmer to test the common logic integrated circuit and this test can be located the errors of logic
gate circuit, as well as test any possible input combinations of integrated circuit.
Programmer self-testing function: This programmer can test itself on each pin of VPP, VCC, GND
and I/O information, at the same time it can run an inside short-circuit test on VPP, VCC current.
AVR microcontroller one-to-one soft encryption: AVR microcontroller has an RC Calibration
(calibrate bytes). Only one of dozens of chips may have the same bytes value and it cannot be modified.
Microcontroller software can read this value and determine whether the code is used by other chips.
Through custom encryption algorithm, it can stop those who decrypt chips with ulterior motives from
directly using. The encryption algorithm is so complex that it is not easy to decrypt. But, about
"encryption", there is a problem for developers - each chip is different - it is impossible to manually
calculate one by one and respectively compile source code if the algorithm is complex. This programmer
can automatically read into RC bytes before programming. The developer can get the bytes value of the
chip in the DLL dynamic function and then automatically calculate the encrypted data according to the
request and put it in the memory, efficiently completing mass production. (A detailed encrypted instance
of the ATMEGA8 in the installation package is available for reference)
Unified and convenient user interface: The user interface is well-designed and is in complete accord
with the operating habit of the Windows series of software. Built-in binary editer is comparable to pure
professional editing software. You can directly read, write and modify the files such as BIN format, HEX
format, JED format and so on. In addition, it has the complete and practical project mode that makes the
mass production more convenient and safer.

(2) The date +5 bytes increment Total Length: 16 bytes
The incremental parts can be set original value and step.
(3) Date + time + 8 bytes increment Total Length: 24 bytes
The incremental parts can be set original value and step.
(4) Date + time + 16 bytes random number Total Length: 32 bytes
The16 bytes are random and it can generate a unique product serial number. In
this way, the <Record> file must be set so that the generated code can be
recorded in the file. Otherwise, your don't know what is the product serial number.
The following operating steps are the same as the above <Default INC.>
3. the random sequence number algorithm <Random>

below:

4. user-defined algorithm <user define>

This user-defined algorithm has great flexibility. You can set any ways
of numbering algorithms, for the detailed usage, see the directory:
MiniPro\Serialnumber\SOURCE_DLL. The interface is as below:
For AVR Microcontroller, encryption of RC verified byte can be fully
achieved by invoking the DLL dynamic link library. Here are all source
program and testing ways, see the directory MiniPro\ATMEGA8_LED

After making DLL file, you copy them to the application directory :
MiniPro\Serialnumber, that's OK. You can select your algorithm file in the <user
algorithm> list.
The following operating steps are the same as other algorithms.

------------ Important note: ----------------------------------- -

1. After setting the above, the programmer will not automatically add the
serial number you set to the chip when programming, unless you tick off
<Auto Serials No.> in the main interface Options.
2.Please firstly set algorithm and tick off<Enable Auto SN> setting path
<main menu>-<Device>-<serials number> and then the <Auto Serials
No.> option can be ticked off.
3. After <Auto Serials No.> option is ticked off, if you reset the numbering
algorithm, in main interface <Auto Serials No.> option must be ticked off
again.
4. You must reset the numbering algorithm if the chip model is changed.
5. In the project mode, the algorithm can be saved in the project file. You
can directly open the project file, and automatically invoke the automatic
numbering algorithm. Therefore, it is easier and more convenient to use
for the mass production in the project mode.
Mini TL866 Universal Programmer -> Programmer Self-Check

The menu functions are for the chip programming operation.

◆ Tools menu items are as follows:

◆ Calculator: This is a calculator that comes with Windows and the scientific
model calculation is very convenient for a variety of formats.

◆ Programmer Self-Check: self-test on the programmer hardware

Click to pop up the following dialog box:

Note: Please remove the IC in the 40-PIN socket and ICSP cable before
programmer begins to self-check. The IC may be damaged if no removing.
Because when self-checking, programmer will test by applying VPP, VCC and
GND to all pins and will perform an inside short-circuit overcurrent test (at the
same time apply VPP, VCC and GND to the same pin). The testing information
will be shown in the dialog box.
◆ Firmware FLASH refresh: Refresh and upgrade the firmware program
After you upgrade the application, if there is a upgrading need, the application
will prompt to refresh the firmware; otherwise his refresh function is disabled.
Click <Refresh firmware > to pop up the following dialog box:

Refresh Note: Please make sure the reliable performance of your PC and the
uninterrupted electricity supply to your PC. At the same time, please close other
application programs. The programming firmware program may be damaged if
there is a computer crash or power failure in the process of upgrade. Click
<Cancel> to exit upgrade.
Close all other programs, and ensure reliable computer power!
Click <Refresh> to begin, the refresh total time is about 30 seconds. Click
<Cancel> to exit refresh.
Mini TL866 Universal Programmer -> ICSP Program
(only TL866A has this ICSP programming function)
For the serial in-circuit programmed chips, this programmer can program
microcontroller on the target board through ICSP port. Firstly select <ICSP port>
in the main interface and then by default <ICSP_VCC Enable> is ticked off. That
means the target board will be provided VCC power when programming. (Note:
The maximum current of programmer VCC power is 120ma. Please use the
target board's power supply if larger current is needed. You'd better isolate the
CPU power from other high current components on the board and use
programmer's power supply that is more convenient.
If the power don't need to be supplied by programmer, don't tick off the
ICSP_VCC Enable . Then there is no VCC power in the VCC pin when
programming, as shown below:

The next step: Read, erase, verify, program, etc. Such operations will be
finished through the ICSP port. At that time, you are not allowed to put the chip on
the 40PIN universal socket. Click Writebutton to pop up the following dialog
box:
(Note: the dialog box of read, erase, verify, etc. is nearly the same as the Write
, just one more ICSP prompt.)
 Click [View ICSP Connection] button to pop up the in-circuit serial
programming wiring diagram, as shown below:
(Different chip has different ICP connection method)

Note:
1. Now ICSP can in-circuit serial program ATMEL89S51, ATMEL89S52,
AT45DBxxx, a whole series of AVR ATMEGAxxx, MICROCHIP PIC10Fxxx
12Fxxx 16Fxxx 18Fxxx, as well as a full serial of SYNCMOS SM59Dxx
SM59Rxx. The variety of microcontroller that can be supported in-circuit
programming will be continually increased in the future.
2. Under normal circumstances, the 40PIN socket programming is high-
speed Parallel Programming and ICSP programming for the target board
is serial in-circuit programming.
3. The programmings of the PIC10 12 16 series chips, 40PIN and ICSP
port are high-voltage serial programming. Different 18 series chip has
different VPP voltage. The programming ways of ICSP port and the 40PIN
socket are the same, but Programming rate of ICSP port is a bit slower
than which of 40PIN socket.
4. Atmel AT89Sxx ATMEGAxxx SPI programming speeds are very different
from the parallel programming. This programmer is one of the highest
parallel programming speed and it can fully meet the needs of mass
production.
5. TL866CS Model programmer has no this ICSP port and it cannot in-
circuit program.
Mini TL866 Universal Programmer ->RAM test

Select IC as RAM chips and click [test] button in the toolbar to pop up the
following dialog box:

RAM test: There are four methods and the RAM unit can be tested whether the
function is normal by these testing methods.
General programmer cannot test whether RAM unit is good or bad because it
only read and write the RAM units. For example, if there is a short circuit between
two adjacent address lines, it is not possible to check out the problem to simply
read and write the RAM units data. So each testing way is not complete.
Insert chip and click [test] button to start testing RAM.
Mini TL866 Universal Programmer ->Digital circuit testing

Maybe this is the first development comprehensive programmer to test the

common 74 series CMOS4000 series IC and this test can be located the errors of
logic gate circuit.
After select corresponding 74HC00 IC, click [TLL/CMOS Test] button to pop up
the following dialog box:

Under normal circumstances, testing information of each logical unit with a

variety of input combinations will be shown. If there is an error with IC gate circuit,
for example, If you disconnect the PIN1 of 74HC00 chip, the testing results will be
shown as follows: prompt chip error.

Different chip has different logical unit number. Logical unit numbering is the
same as the IC manual.

Mini TL866 Universal Programmer ->AVR microcontroller software encryption

AVR microcontroller has an RC Calibration (calibrate bytes). Only one of dozens

of chips may have the same bytes value and it cannot be modified. Microcontroller
software can read this value and determine whether the code is used by other chips.
Through custom encryption algorithm, it can stop those who decrypt chips with ulterior
motives from directly using. The encryption algorithm is so complex that it is not easy
to decrypt. But, about "encryption", there is a problem for developers - each chip is
different - it is impossible to manually calculate one by one and respectively compile
source code if the algorithm is complex. This programmer can automatically read into
RC bytes before programming. The developer can get the bytes value of the chip in
the DLL dynamic function and then automatically calculate the encrypted data
according to the request and put it in the memory, efficiently completing mass
production.
(A detailed encrypted instance of the ATMEGA8 in the installation package is
available for reference)
The operation is the same as < Set Auto Serials>,
view Set Auto Serials
The contents of instance: By encryption algorithm, programmed chip can be
normally run. While the copied program from the chip to another chip cannot be run.
The function of this programmer is that the chip can be quickly encrypted in mass
production.
