INTRODUCTION
The ST7SB socket board complements any ST7 programming tool that is
equipped for in-circuit programming (ICP) via a 10-pin ICC cable. For these
programming tools and emulators, the socket board provides the sockets required
to program ST7 FLASH microcontrollers without having to install them on an
application board.

Your socket board uses your programming tool ’s ICC connection and connects via

When using the ST7-STICK, users have the additional possibility of connecting
their socket board directly to the ST7-STICK using the female HE10-connector on
the bottom of the socket board (See Section 3.2.2).
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.

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.

Connect to the socket board
3.1
Configure 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.

Configure for other VDD
ST7SB Socket Board User Guide
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:
R
VDD.OTHER = (50 / VVDD.OTHER) -10
VDD.OTHER : is the serial resistance in KΩ to be installed in the OTHER area on
the socket board.
VDD.OTHER : is the desired VDD voltage.
R
V
Example to obtain a VVDD.OTHER of 4V:
RVDD.OTHER = (50 / 4) - 10 = 2.5 KΩ
2 Install the necessary resistors in the OTHER area on the socket board. Figure 3
shows one possible solution for the example in Step 1.
3 Set the VDD jumper to the OTHER position (see Figure 2).

Connect to the socket board
All ST7 programming tools that use a 10-pin ICC cable (including the ST7-STICK)
can be connected to the HE-10 type ICC connector on top of your socket board.
However, when using the ST7-STICK you can also connect via the Female HE10
connector on the bottom of your Socket board.

3.2.1
Connecting via the ICC cable
To connect to your socket board via ICC cable:
1 Plug the ICC cable into the HE-10 connectors on your programming tool and
your socket board. The ICC cable is provided with your programming tool .
2 Set both POWER jumpers to the 2 position, as shown in Figure 4, inset B .

3 Connect the power supply for both the socket board and the programming tool.
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.

Connecting via the female HE10 connector
When using this connection, power for the socket board can be provided by its
power supply, or by your ST7-STICK. However, you must configure the POWER
jumpers appropriately.
Note:
No matter which option you choose for powering your socket board, your ST7-STICK’s power
supply must be connected, as it cannot be powered by the socket board.
To connect to the female HE10 connector on your socket board:
1 Plug the male HE10 connector on the ST7-STICK, into the female HE10
connector on the bottom of your socket board.
The male HE10 connector on the
top side of your ST7-STICK...
...connects to the female
connector on the bottom of
your ST7SB socket board.

2 Choose 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 ST7-STICK, as
-
Set POWER to 2 if the socket board is supplied by its own power supply as
shown in Figure 4, inset B.
3 Plug 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
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
2
higher than 0.5 MΩ/cm ), grounded through a ground cable (conductive cable
from protected equipment to ground isolated with a 1 MΩ resistor placed in
series). All manipulation of finished goods must be done at such a grounded
worktable.
•
•
The worktable free of all non-antistatic plastic objects.
An antistatic floor covering grounded through a conductive ground cable (with
serial resistor between 0.9 and 1.5 MΩ) 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
powered-on tool, you touch the surface of the grounded worktable.
•
•
It is recommended that antistatic gloves or finger coats be worn.
It is recommended that nylon clothing be avoided while performing any
manipulation of parts.
