Product ID
e-Link8 ISOL
This product supports ICP programming of BS series MCUs in Touch Workshop & HTouch

e-Link8 ISOL supports ICP programming and UART/I²C communication debugging of BS series MCUs in Touch Workshop & HTouch.
Featuring capacitive isolation for complete electrical isolation, the product isolates external high-voltage power and signals, enabling USB to UART/SPI/I²C communication with the target IC in high-voltage environments such as mains-powered applications. It connects to a PC via a USB Type-C interface and measures 21 x 40 mm.

DESCRIPTION
In mains-powered applications, external power supply must be used. Otherwise, high voltage may enter the debugging tool and the PC, causing equipment damage.

Connect the product to a PC via USB Type-C and use it with Touch Workshop & HTouch to perform ICP programming and UART/I²C communication debugging of BS series MCUs.
In high-voltage applications, for example when using e-Link8 ISOL to tune the touch sensitivity of an induction cooker connected to mains power, the power switch of e-Link8 ISOL must be set to external power (EXT PWR).

FEATURES

  1. Supports Touch Workshop & HTouch for ICP programming and UART/I²C communication debugging of BS series MCUs
  2. Capacitive isolation for complete electrical isolation of external high-voltage power and signals
  3. Internal / external power selection switch (INT PWR / EXT PWR)
  4. Internal power supply 3.3V / 5V, supply current @5V/400mA (depends on USB port drive capability)
  5. Pin functions: ICP/OCDS×1, UART×1, SPI×1, I²C×1, via a 2 x 6 pin header
  6. USB Type-C interface (USB 2.0 Full speed)

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
  1. Power selection switch (INT PWR / EXT PWR):
    INT PWR (internal power): for ICP programming, or when the target board has no external power supply
    EXT PWR (external power): when the target board has an external power supply (high-voltage applications)
    In mains-powered applications (e.g. tuning the touch sensitivity of an induction cooker connected to mains power), the switch must be set to external power. Otherwise, high voltage may enter the debugging tool and the PC, causing equipment damage.
  2. USB Type-C interface:
    Connects to a PC, USB 2.0 Full speed
  3. 2 x 6 pin header:
    Connects to the target board; see Pin Description below for pin definitions
