Security Fuse Usage
A single fuse is provided to prevent unauthorized copying of the ATF1502AS(L) fuse patterns. Once
programmed, fuse verify is inhibited; however, the 16-bit User Signature remains accessible.
Programming
ATF1502AS(L) devices are In-System Programmable (ISP) devices utilizing the 4-pin JTAG protocol. This
capability eliminates package handling normally required for programming and facilitates rapid design iterations
and field changes.
Atmel provides ISP hardware and software to allow programming of the ATF1502AS(L) via the PC. ISP is
performed by using either a download cable, a comparable board tester, or a simple microprocessor interface.
When using the ISP hardware or software to program the ATF1502AS(L) devices, four I/O pins must be
reserved for the JTAG interface. However, the logic features that the macrocells have associated with these I/O
pins are still available to the design for burned logic functions.
To facilitate ISP programming by the Automated Test Equipment (ATE) vendors, Serial Vector Format (SVF)
files can be created by Atmel-provided software utilities.
ATF1502AS(L) devices can also be programmed using standard third-party programmers. With a third-party
programmer, the JTAG ISP port can be disabled, thereby allowing four additional I/O pins to be used for logic.
Contact your local Atmel representatives or Atmel PLD applications for details.
10. ISP Programming Protection
The ATF1502AS(L) has a special feature which locks the device and prevents the inputs and I/O from driving if
the programming process is interrupted for any reason. The inputs and I/O default to high-Z state during such a
condition. In addition, the pin-keeper option preserves the previous state of the input and I/O PMS during
programming.
All ATF1502AS(L) devices are initially shipped in the erased state, thereby making them ready to use for ISP.
