Intel ISP Adaptor-A for SF100 – ISP-ADP-INTEL-A
Connect the SF100 to Intel motherboards
The ISP-ADP-INTEL-A connects a DediProg SF100 to the 2×10 SPI flash programming header on Intel motherboards, so you can program or emulate the board’s SPI flash in-system.
It mates with Intel’s 2×10 connector (Samtec ASP-159358-03) and comes on a cable about 8 cm long. The cable is soldered to the adaptor. When you remove it from the mainboard, pull on the adaptor, not on the cable. Apart from the cable, it works the same as the ISP-ADP-INTEL-A2.
Highlights
- Connects the SF100 to Intel motherboards
- Mates with the Intel 2×10 header (Samtec ASP-159358-03)
- Cable about 8 cm long; soldered to the adaptor
- Pull-up resistors on WP and HOLD
Adaptor Pin-out (2×10)

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | KEY | 2 | CS0 |
| 3 | RESET | 4 | CS1 |
| 5 | GND | 6 | VCC |
| 7 | CLK | 8 | DQ2 / WP |

Signal Names: SF100 ISP header (2×7) to Adaptor
A few signals carry different names on the programmer header and on the Intel adaptor. They map as follows.
| Programmer pin | Signal | Adaptor pin | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | I/O2 or CS2 | 4 | CS1 |
| 5 | VCC | 6 | VCC |
| 7 | CS | 2 | CS0 |
| 12 | I/O3 | 3 | RESET |
Which Intel ISP Adaptor Do I Need?
A, B and C models have the cable soldered to the adaptor; A2, B2 and C2 models have a detachable cable. Otherwise each pair is the same.
| Model | Use with | Design notes |
|---|---|---|
| ISP-ADP-INTEL-A / ISP-ADP-INTEL-A2 | SF100 | Pull-up resistors on WP and HOLD. Model A also has jumpers tying WP/HOLD to VCC, which can stop some mainboards from booting |
| ISP-ADP-INTEL-B / ISP-ADP-INTEL-B2 | SF600, SF600Plus, SF600Plus-G2 | Pull-up resistors on WP and HOLD. No Quad I/O |
| ISP-ADP-INTEL-C / ISP-ADP-INTEL-C2 | EM100Pro, EM100Pro-G2, EM100Pro-G3, SF600, SF600Plus, SF600Plus-G2 | No resistors or jumpers on any pin. Quad I/O supported. For single I/O programming, the target board needs pull-ups on WP/HOLD |
