MiniProg4 installation
The MiniProg4 programmer/debugger is supported by PSoC™ Programmer, ModusToolbox™ software, ModusToolbox™ Programming tools, and PSoC™ Creator. Other software, such as Bridge Control Panel, use the PSoC™ Programmer COM layer to support MiniProg4 functionality.
Note : PSoC™ Programmer is compatible only with the Windows Operating System however, ModusToolbox™ Programming tools is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. To understand the differences between PSoC™ Programmer and ModusToolbox™ Programming tools, please see the CYPRESS™ Programming Solutions page at https://www.infineon.com/.
- Download and install PSoC™ Programmer or ModusToolbox™ Programming tools. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. Each programming tool supports a subset of Infineon devices. See respective tool documentation for which device each supports.
- Launch the PSoC™ Programmer or ModusToolbox™ Programming tools and connect the MiniProg4 to the computer’s USB port using the provided USB cable. When properly connected, and drivers have been installed, the Mode LED either turns ON or will be ramping (slowly increasing and decreasing brightness) depending on the mode.
- Note that the MiniProg4 drivers are automatically installed.
- Installing MiniProg4

Technical description
MiniProg4 is a protocol translation device. With MiniProg4, the PC host software can communicate through a USB port to the target device to be programmed or debugged, as shown in Figure 9. Table 3 lists the protocols that are supported by each connector. MiniProg4 enables communication with the target devices using I/O voltage levels from 1.5 V to 5 V.

Interfaces
SWD/JTAG
Arm®-based devices support the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) and JTAG protocols. The PSoC™ 4, PSoC™ 5LP, and PSoC™ 6 MCU device families implement these standards, which offers programming and debugging functions. MiniProg4 supports programming and debugging of PSoC™ 4, PSoC™ 5LP, and PSoC™ 6 devices using SWD and JTAG through the 5-pin or 10-pin connector. Before programming a PSoC™ 4, PSoC™ 5LP, or PSoC™ 6 MCU device, the electrical connection requirements in the respective device datasheet are reviewed or in the PSoC™ 4, PSoC™ 5LP, and PSoC™ 6 MCU device programming specifications. The list of datasheets and programming specifications are as follows:
www.infineon.com/PSoC4
www.infineon.com/PSoC5LP
www.infineon.com/PSoC6
I2C
I2C is a common serial interface standard. It is mainly used for communication between microcontrollers and other ICs on the same board but can also be used for intersystem communications. MiniProg4 uses an I2C multimaster host controller that allows the tool to exchange data with I2C-enabled devices on the target board. For example, this feature may be used to tune CAPSENSE™ designs. MiniProg4 serves as a USB-I2C bridge (acts as I2C master) that can be used to communicate with a I2C slave devices through the Bridge Control Panel software. For I2C connections use the 6×2 connector. MiniProg4 has internal pull-up resistors and supports I2C speeds up to 1 MHz.
SPI
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial communication interface specification used for short-distance communication, primarily in embedded systems. SPI devices communicate in full duplex mode using a master- slave architecture with a single master. MiniProg4 serves as a USB-SPI bridge (acts as SPI master) that can be used to communicate with an SPI slave device through the Bridge Control Panel software. For SPI connections, use the 6×2 connector. MiniProg4 supports SPI speed up to 6 MHz.
UART with and without flow control
UART is another common serial interface standard. MiniProg4 supports UART, which allows the tool to receive data from UART enabled devices on the target board. MiniProg4 provides UART communication both with and without hardware flow control. In order to enable flow control, RTS and CTS pins are provided in the 6×2 I/O header. If flow control is not required, CTS and RTS pins can be left floating. Terminal emulators such as Tera Term or PuTTY can be used to communicate with the target PSoC™ device. MiniProg4 supports UART speed up to 115200 Baud Rate.
Reference
For more information on the PSoC™ 4, PSoC™ 5LP, and PSoC™ 6 MCU’s JTAG, SWD, and I2C interfaces, see the PSoC™ 4, PSoC™ 5LP, and PSoC™ 6 Technical Reference Manuals. For more details on MiniProg4 with Bridge Control Panel, refer to the Bridge Control Panel Help document.
Connectors
5-pin connector
The 5-pin connector is configured as a single row with a 100-mil pitch. Suggested mating connector part number is Molex Connector Corporation 22-23-2051.
Figure 10 5-pin connector with pin assignments
Note: If the design requires MiniProg4 to be directly plugged to the target board with a 5-pin header, adequate mechanical clearance shall be provided near the 5-pin header on the target board. The width and height of MiniProg4 (5-pin header area) is 25 mm × 13 mm. If the design cannot meet the required mechanical clearance, use a stackable header (such as Proto-PIC 20690).
10-pin connector
The 10-pin connector is configured as a dual row with 50-mil pitch. It is used with a ribbon cable (provided) to mate to a similar connector on the target board. The signal assignment is shown in Figure 11. Suggested mating connector part number is CNC Tech 3220-10-0300-00 or Samtec Inc. FTSH-105-01-F-DV-K-TR.

Figure 12 6×2 connector pin assignments
Power
MiniProg4 can be powered using the USB interface. On kits/boards where there is a single power supply for the entire board, MiniProg4 can supply power to the board. However, this supply is limited to approximately 200 mA, and is protected against excess current draw. You can select 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V from PSoC™ Programmer. The 5 V supply may vary between 4.25 V–5.5 V, because it is supplied directly from the USB port. The maximum deviation for other voltages is +5%. Note: Some PSoC™ device families do not support 5 V operation. Refer to the respective device datasheet for supported voltage selection.
Voltage stress beyond acceptable limits can permanently damage MiniProg4. Programming signals can withstand over-voltage up to a maximum of 12 V and a minimum of up to –5 V. Communication bridge signals (I2C, UART & SPI) can withstand over-voltage only up to maximum 6 V and a minimum up to –1 V.
