3. Technical Description
MiniProg3 is a protocol translation device. With MiniProg3, the PC host software can communicate
through a high-speed USB to the target device to be programmed or debugged, as shown in
Figure 3-1. The device-side communication protocol can be one of the several standards and can
occur over either of the two connectors. Table 3-1 lists the protocols that are supported by each
connector. MiniProg3 enables communication with the target devices using I/O voltage levels from
1.5 V to 5.5 V. In addition, MiniProg3 can provide power to a simple target board, at one of four
voltage levels: 0.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V.
