Altera MAX devices, AMD MACHs, Lattice isp/pLSI,
WSI PSDs, Xilinx EPLDs, and many others.
· Provides true low voltage support for new devices which require low
levels of Vcc and digital inputs. (i.e. supports devices which are not
5-volt tolerant.)

Pentium, or compatibles. Easy new device updates via software from
floppies, BBS or Internet (WEB).

Complete Memory/Micro Devices Support
· Supports EPROMs from 2716 up to the newest 64 megabit (and
beyond) EPROMs and FLASH memories.
· Accepts various file formats including Intel HEX, Intel Extended
Hex, Motorola S-records, POF, ASCII and binary.
· Virtual memory feature: makes use of RAM and disk space on your
PC. No RAM expansion modules ever needed, even for
programming large size devices.
· Automatic splits (1 to 2, 1 to 4, 1 to 8) for both 8-bit and 16-bit
memories.
· Supports all programming algorithms including Standard, Fast,
Intelligent, Quick-Pulse, Flashrite, etc,-- and exactly according to IC
manufacturers' specifications.
· Supports advanced device functions such as individual sectorprotection
and un-protection, S/W write protection, programming of
configuration words, etc.
· Functions provided include: read, program, verify, sector protect,
edit, checksum, file offset, buffer offset, partial address
programming, ASCII buffer edit, etc.
· Release control features: automatically generates serial numbers,
checksums, and date/time stamping information for memory devices.
Complete Logic Device Support
· Accepts POF files from ALTERA, standard JEDEC outputs from
CUPL, MINC, ABEL, PALASM, ORCAD, etc.
· Test vector function (functional testing) automatically reports failed
pins and states.
· Convenient screen-based editing of fuse values and test vectors.
· Other functions include: read, program, erase, verify, security,
checksum, automatic PAL to GAL JEDEC files conversion, etc.
Software User-friendly
· Powerful PC-based software gives you more power, utilities and
conveniences than stand-alone programmers.
· Full screen human interface provides plenty of useful information.
· Batch/macro facility allows you to put frequently-used commands
into command files. It also means allowing non-technical personnel
to easily perform repeated command sequences.
· Free lifetime software updates: simply download from BBS or WEB.
Hardware User-friendly
· Interfaces to PC through standard parallel printer port. No need to
open up your PC, remove and reinstall special interface cards
every time you move the programmer from one PC to another.
· Parallel interface eliminates the slowness and clumsiness of serial
communication during normal operation.
· New device support via software, not firmware.
· Reverse-device insertion check warns operator of accidental
reverse placement of devices.
· Continuity check warns operator of misplaced device or broken
device pins.
· Universal power supply automatically accepts input voltages from
85v AC to 264v AC. No need to switch between 110/230.
Dependable and Reliable
· All programming signals are generated from programming
instrument, not from a card inside the PC. Signals are noise-free
and accurate.
· Metal chassis shields programmer from potentially damaging
external static charges.
· Built-in power supply provides adequate and isolated power for
programmer, avoids power deficiency problems common in
smaller programmers.
· All sockets used have gold-plated contacts and are of the best
quality in the industry.
· Designed and manufactured by a company that has over ten years
of experience in making and supporting programming instruments.
· Approved by IC manufacturers.
· Made in Silicon Valley, California, USA, in proximity to many of
the worlds leading semiconductor companies.
Guarantee, Warranty and Support
· 1 year limited hardware warranty, including parts and labor.
· Factory-direct technical support.
· Free lifetime software updates via 24-hour BBS or WEB.
Gang/Set Expandable
· Available gang modules from Advin expand the machine into a
Gang/Set programmer capable of programming eight EPROMs,
EEPROMs, FLASH, or micros. Package types include DIP, PLCC,
TSOP and PSOP.
