ST SBX-SOCKETBOARD User Manual

Universal socket boards for ST microcontrollers

Features

■ The programming socket is designed to hold a

specific MCU package.

■ The routing card provides the specific signal

routing required for programming your target
MCU. Routing cards are provided for all
supported MCUs.

■ The ICC, SWIM or JTAG connectors on the

board are used to connect to your
programming tool. The programming tool then
serves as the hardware interface with your host
PC.

■ The SBX-SOCKETBOARD is delivered with:

– One socket for a specific MCU package

(depending on the type of board that you
ordered)

– Routing cards for all the microcontrollers

supported by the socket board

– One power supply

Description

The SBX universal socket boards complement all
programming tools that are equipped for in-circuit
programming (ICP) via ICC, SWIM, or JTAG.

Universal socket boards for

SBX-SOCKETBOARD

ST microcontrollers.
These are not recommended

for new designs.

Data brief

For these programming tools and emulators, the
socket boards provide the sockets required to
program any ST 8 or 32-bit Flash microcontroller
without having to install it on an application board.

Universal socket boards are available for different
types of package, and different types of
connectors (ICC, SWIM or JTAG).

The SBX universal socket boards are intended to
program small numbers of microcontrollers (for
example, prototypes in the development stage).
For mass production programming, we
recommend using the appropriate gang or
automated programmer.
