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
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.

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.

2 DELIVERY CHECK LIST
Your ST7SBxx socket board (see Figure 1) is delivered with one power supply. The number and types of programming sockets will vary from one version to another depending on the available packages for the ST7 family of devices that your socket board supports. The version of your socket board is determined by the ordering code that you have specified.
All the connection cables you will need to connect to your PC are provided with the programming tool that you are using to connect to your PC.

3 CONFIGURING AND CONNECTING TO YOUR SOCKET BOARD
This chapter tells you how to set up and connect to your socket board for programming. It includes how to:
???Configure the power supply for your ST7
???Connect to the socket board
3.1Configure the power supply for your ST7
Your socket board allows you to configure the power supply (VDD) for your ST7. As standard options, you can choose between 3.3V and 5V by changing the position of the VDD jumper. In addition, you can configure other VDD supported by your ST7 by installing the appropriate resistors in series in the area labeled OTHER on your socket board.
Caution: When choosing the VDD, you must ensure that the selected voltage is supported by both your ST7 and by the programming tool that you are using to connect the socket board to your host PC. Refer to your ST7xxx Datasheet and the user manual for your programing board for more information.
Configure for 3.3V or 5V
To select 3.3V or 5V, simply set the VDD jumper to the appropriate position, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Setting the VDD jumper
5/12
Configure for other VDD
To configure your socket board to use a VDD other than 3.3V or 5V, you will have to calculate the required serial resistance and install the necessary resistors in the area labelled OTHER that is provided on your socket board. To do this:
1 Calculate the serial resistance for the voltage you want, using the formula:
RVDD.OTHER = (50 / VVDD.OTHER)
RVDD.OTHER : is the serial resistance in K??? to be installed in the OTHER area on the socket board.
VVDD.OTHER : is the desired VDD voltage.
Example to obtain a VVDD.OTHER of 4V:
RVDD.OTHER = (50 / 4) - 10 = 2.5 K???
2Install the necessary resistors in the OTHER area on the socket board. Figure 3 shows one possible solution for the example in Step 1.
3Set the VDD jumper to the OTHER position (see Figure 2).

2Choose a power supply configuration (i.e. both tools powered by the ST7- STICK, or each tool powered by its own power supply) and set the POWER jumpers on your socket board to the appropriate position:
-Set POWER to 1 if the socket board is supplied by the
-Set POWER to 2 if the socket board is supplied by its own power supply as shown in Figure 4, inset B.
3Plug in the appropriate power supply, or power supplies. Once connected, the green Power LED should light up and remain lit.
You are ready to program your ST7 from the STVP7 interface on your host PC.

APPENDIX A SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
???Any tester, equipment, or tool used at any production step, or for any manipulation of semiconductor devices, have its shield connected to ground.
???The product must be placed on a conductive table top, made of steel or clean aluminum, or covered by an antistatic surface (superficial resistivity equal to or
higher than 0.5 M???/cm2), grounded through a ground cable (conductive cable from protected equipment to ground isolated with a 1 M??? resistor placed in
series). All manipulation of finished goods must be done at such a grounded worktable.
??? The worktable free of all
???An antistatic floor covering grounded through a conductive ground cable (with serial resistor between 0.9 and 1.5 M???) should be used.
???It is recommended that you wear an antistatic wrist or ankle strap, connected to the antistatic floor covering or to the grounded equipment.
???If no antistatic wrist or ankle strap is worn, before each manipulation of the
???It is recommended that antistatic gloves or finger coats be worn.
