What Is Isp?

In-System Programming (ISP) allows programmable chips like microcontrollers to be programmed while installed in a complete electronic system, rather than requiring programming before installation. This allows manufacturers to integrate programming and testing into a single production phase. ISP gives manufacturers the ability to program chips on their own production line and apply code or design changes mid-production run. Chips with ISP have internal circuitry to generate programming voltages from the system power supply and communicate with programmers using serial protocols.

WHAT IS ISP?

In-Syste m Programming (abbreviated ISP) is the ability of some


programmable logic devices, microcontrollers, and other
programmable
electronic chips to be programmed while installed in a complete
system, rather
than requiring the chip to be programmed prior to installing it into
the system.
The primary advantage of this feature is that it allows manufacturers
of electronic
devices to integrate programming and testing into a single production
phase,
rather than requiring a separate programming stage prior to
assembling the
system. This may allow manufacturers to program the chips in their
own system's
production line instead of buying preprogrammed chips from a
manufacturer or
distributor, making it feasible to apply code or design changes in the
middle of a
production run. Typically, chips supporting ISP have internal
circuitry to
generate any necessary programming voltage from the system's
normal supply
voltage, and communicate with the programmer via a serial protocol.
Most
programmable logic devices use proprietary protocols or protocols
defined by
older standards. In systems complex enough to require moderately
large glue
logic.
