Revision Descriptions
RoHS Compliant
Rev. A (1) 10-pin female connector is connected to the USB-Blaster
through a ribbon cable.
No
Rev. B 10-pin female connector is connected to the USB-Blaster
through a flexible PCB cable.
No
Rev. C Hardware upgrade to meet the RoHS lead-free
requirement. 10-pin female connector is connected to the
USB-Blaster through a flexible PCB cable.
Yes
Note to Table 27:
(1) Revision B and Revision C cable has a "Rev. B" and "Rev. C" marking on the casing. However, you can identify the
Revision A cable if the cable is using a ribbon cable and does not have the revision marking.
