Advanced Stand-Alone Flash Programming for Space-Constrained Production
The SEGGER Flasher Compact is a powerful universal in-circuit flash programmer designed specifically for integration into production rigs and automated test equipment (ATE) where space is at a premium. This compact programming solution delivers the same robust performance as the full-sized Flasher PRO in a credit card-sized form factor.
Key Programming Capabilities
| Flash Memory Types | Interface Support | Target Voltage Range |
|---|---|---|
| Internal MCU/SoC Flash | JTAG, SWD, UART, PDI | 1.2V to 5V |
| External (Q)SPI Flash | SPI, QSPI, C2, cJTAG | Up to 400mA supply |
| Parallel NOR Flash | ICSP, ISP, SWIM, UPDI | 50MHz max speed |
Stand-Alone Operation
Once configured using SEGGER's J-Flash software, the Flasher Compact operates completely independently without a PC connection. The device stores firmware images and programming configurations in its massive 128MB internal memory, enabling reliable production programming with just a button press.
Production Ready: No additional licences required. All supported devices are included with free firmware updates and flash loader additions for the device lifetime.
Gang Programming Expansion
For high-volume production, connect multiple Flasher Compact units to a Flasher Hub-12 or Flasher Hub-4 to create powerful gang programming systems supporting up to 24 parallel programming channels.
Wiring Quick-Start
The Flasher Compact uses a standard 20-pin IDC connector with 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch for target connections:
| Pin | Signal | Pin | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VTref | 2 | NC |
| 3 | nTRST | 4 | GND |
| 5 | TDI | 6 | GND |
| 7 | TMS/SWDIO | 8 | GND |
| 9 | TCK/SWCLK | 10 | GND |
| 11 | RTCK | 12 | GND |
| 13 | TDO/SWO | 14 | GND |
| 15 | nRESET | 16 | GND |
| 17 | UART_TX | 18 | GND |
| 19 | 5V Supply | 20 | GND |
Note: Pin 1 (VTref) must be connected to target voltage for proper operation. The programmer senses this voltage to set appropriate logic levels.
Physical Integration
Measuring just 70mm × 45mm × 18mm and weighing only 40g, the Flasher Compact includes four mounting holes for secure installation in production equipment. The USB-C interface provides both power and data communication with a single cable.
