The new LabTool-48UXP universal device programmer from ProMicro, operates through a PC's USB port or parallel port and features a 48-pin universal pin driver and an expandable TTL pin driver. It supports over 7000 different devices including memory, logic and single chip, in the current software release. New chips will be added to the support in quarterly-based software updates.
Each pin driver can supply four different voltages and can be configurable as TTL high/low levels with pull-high/pull-low, high-speed clock and high impedance. The device programmer can program an Intel 32 M bit flash chip in less then 60 s. It performs device insertion and contact checks before it programs each device and it can detect poor pin contact and devices inserted upside down or in the wrong position, eliminating expensive chip damage due to operator error.
Many EPROM and Flash memories have a built-in device ID and manufacturer ID. The programmer can read these IDs to compare its database and to determine the chip's correct vendor and product number. This feature is especially useful with secondhand chips and devices that have had their part number accidentally or intentionally removed.
To meet mass-production requirements, the LabTool-48UXP features new patented technology in both its hardware and software. After entering the mass-production mode, the production line operator inserts a device into the ZIF socket. An LED on the LabTool-48UXP indicates the device is ready and the operator simply removes it and replaces it with a new one. No formal training is necessary, adding flexibility and saving both time and money. In addition, the LabTool-48UXP's auto-sensing feature ensures the device has been inserted correctly and then automatically programs the device. Also, in the mass-production mode, the system keyboard is automatically disabled preventing the operator from making any inadvertent mistakes.
The LabTool-48UXP allows the user to select and verify the voltage after the device has been programmed. The capability of the universal pin driver lets it program all 48-pin DIL devices, including other devices such as PLCC, SOP, TSOP, QFP and SDIP. It also supports all 44-pin chips such as EPLD, EPROM, Flash EPLD and microcontrollers.
