INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE—WARNING

This product is conform to the 89/336/EEC Directive. It complies with the ITE EN55022 standard for
EMC emissions and generic 50082-1 (1992 edition) immunity standards.

This product is an FCC Class-A apparatus. In a residential environment, it may cause
radioelectrical disturbances.

In addition, this programming board is not contained in an outer casing; consequently, it cannot be
immune against electrostatic discharges (ESD). It should therefore be handled only in static safe
working areas. Please refer to
information

Appendix A Safety Requirements

on page 9 for relevant safety

1. Life support devices or systems are those
which (a) are intended for surgical implant into
the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose
failure to perform, when properly used in
accordance with instructions for use provided
with the product, can be reasonably expected to
result in significant injury to the user.

2. A critical component is any component of a life
support device or system whose failure to
perform can reasonably be expected to cause the
failure of the life support device or system, or to
affect its safety or effectiveness.

1 - Introduction ST7SB Socket Board User Guide

1 INTRODUCTION

The ST7SB socket board complements any ST7 programming tool that is
equipped for in-circuit programming (ICP) via a 10-pin ICC cable. For these
programming tools and emulators, the socket board provides the sockets required
to program ST7 FLASH microcontrollers without having to install them on an
application board.

Figure 1: Typical ST7SBxx socket board

Your socket board uses your programming tool ’s ICC connection and connects via
the ICC cable (See

Section 3.2.1

). The programming tool, then serves as the
hardware interface with your host PC running ST7 Visual Programmer (STVP7).
When using the ST7-STICK, users have the additional possibility of connecting
their socket board directly to the ST7-STICK using the female HE10-connector on
the bottom of the socket board (See

Section 3.2.2

).

ST7SBxx socket boards are each designed to support the programming of a family
of ST7 microcontrollers (a typical example is shown in

Figure 1

). For this reason,
the layout of each type of socket board varies depending on the types of
programming sockets required to support a microcontroller family. However, the
general configuration and connection procedures explained here, remain the same
for all socket boards.

ST7SB Socket Board User Guide 1 - Introduction

Note:

The ST7SBxx socket board is meant to program small numbers of microcontrollers (i.e.
prototypes in the development stage). For mass production programming, we recommend
using the appropriate gang, or automated programmer.

1.1 About the user manuals...
