Overview
The Dediprog ISP-TC-16 is a SO16W (300 mil) test clip designed to connect a Dediprog SF100 in-system programmer to a soldered-down 16-pin SPI Flash device for on-board update or repair, when no ISP header is available. It supports wide-body SOIC-16 packages and includes an auxiliary lead for automatic system reset during programming.
Where It Fits In
Use ISP-TC-16 with the SF100 programmer. For SO8 packages, see the Dediprog ISP-TC-8 (SO8). If you’re working with Backup Boot Flash workflows, the companion BBF-TC-16 clip serves the BBF tool. Higher-speed programmers (e.g., SF600Plus-G2) use the EM-series clips.
Why Consider This Clip?
It enables non-invasive access to SPI Flash for development, field update, or service without desoldering, and it is part of a well-documented ecosystem (tools, cables, and application notes) that reduces integration risk. For mixed header footprints, pair with the ISP-UADP-127 universal adapter.

Questions and Answers
-
Can I Program on a Live Board? Any Precautions?
Yes. Use only one power source (board or programmer) and isolate conflicting loads. Dediprog's ISP notes cover power domain and bus contention best practice.
-
Is There a Version for Higher-Speed SF600/SF600Plus-G2 Programmers?
Yes, use EM-series clips (e.g. EM-TC-16).
-
Does the Clip Limit Single/Dual/Quad SPI Modes?
No. The clip only makes physical contact with the pins. SPI mode support depends on the device and the programmer; see the Dediprog programmer product pages (for example, the SF600Plus-G2 lists Single, Dual, Quad and Octal).
-
Is a Clip Better Than a Dedicated ZIF/Bed-of-Nails Fixture?
Fixtures can be faster in production but usually need board changes. Clips suit development, service and low-volume updates. Where a board has room, Dediprog recommends a soldered ISP header for a more stable connection.
-
Any Guidance on Board States During In-Circuit Flashing?
Disable or reset the host so it doesn't drive the SPI bus, and set the programmer's Vcc to suit the flash. Dediprog's FAQ and application notes (AN0103 and AN0106) cover power and cabling; AN0106 gives 8 cm as the maximum ISP cable length.
-
What Packages Does ISP-TC-16 Support?
SO16W (300 mil) wide-body SOIC-16 SPI Flash packages.
-
Which Programmer Is This Clip For?
It's designed for the Dediprog SF100 SPI NOR Flash Programmer.
-
How Does the Reset Lead Help Reliability?
Connecting the auxiliary lead to system reset allows the processor to release the SPI bus during programming, avoiding bus contention and failed verify cycles.
