Everything can be run from the same battery.

Using a LiPo 11.1v would give a very usable 12v, that would simply have to be reduced to 5v for TTL components.

The chip I found is also made in SO-8 form factor, allowing a very small footprint. Since a mini USB port would be used for programing, there is no need to use a larger DIP-8 package.

Also, the programer is simply a 12v flash step-up regulator. The one I found is .50$.

It simply converts the 5v serial signal to 12v for programing the chip.
