EPSILON5 MKIV - Portable high-speed USB In-System (ISP) Programmer (standard)
The EPSILON5-MKIV Portable USB ISP Programmer is the latest version of the ever-popular EPSILON5 programmer series. It is a high-
speed development / field / production programmer supporting many in-system programmable (ISP) microcontrollers from Atmel, NXP,
ST and Zensys. The programmer can be operated under PC control during development and for project configuration / uploading using the
EQTools Toolsuite. For field / production applications the unit is designed to operate in ‘Standalone Mode’. A ‘Programming Project’ can be
recalled from the on-board non-volatile FLASH memory and programmed into a Target System by pressing a single key. All the popular ISP
headers are catered for including the new JTAG ISP Port required for fast programming of the Atmel ATmega AVR and ARM families.
Ideal programmer for development, field service and production applications

2Mbits of on-board non-volatile FLASH memory for user project storage (Standalone Mode)
SCK2 Oscillator signal for externally clocking ATmega & ATtiny microcontrollers during programming
On-board +12V Vpp generator for programming Atmel ATtiny11/12/15 microcontrollers in 'High voltage Serial Mode'
JTAG Port - FAST ISP using JTAG algorithm (license upgrade)
Controlled / configured by Equinox EQTools Software
Equinox Development Suite (EDS)
Project Builder - to create/edit Programming Projects
Project Manager - to create and maintain Project Collections
Project Upload / Download Utility - to upload projects to the programmer for use in Standalone Mode
Standalone Programming Mode
In ‘Standalone Mode’, the EPSILON5 is controlled via the push buttons on the front panel of the programmer - no PC connection is
required.The programmer can store one 'Standalone Programming Project' which can then be executed multiple times by simply pressing
the 'Autoprogram' button.
