The AC162049 universal programming module (UPM) is an economical and user-friendly tool designed to support programming of flash-based microcontrollers in DIP packages using the MPLAB ICD 2 In-Circuit Debugger. It can also interface with the PICSTART Plus programmer, enabling programming of previously unsupported parts due to pin configuration limitations. The module features a ZIF socket compatible with 18, 28, and 40-pin DIP devices, along with seven jumpers that connect to two 20-pin headers labeled 1 through 40. An LED indicator (LED 1) lights during programming activity, and a push to unlock feature is included. Proper operation requires connecting an external 9V DC power supply to the MPLAB ICD 2, and the ZIF socket must be in the locked position during programming. This device is suitable for embedded design and development applications.
