These PC requirements are valid for 2.84/11.2011 version of PG4UW. For other version see Help / About control program.

If two programmers are to be connected to a single PC, then we strongly recommend to connect each programmer to separate USB 2.0 High speed controller (USB EHCI). For more information see "Hardware setup" chapter.

Free disk space requirement depends also on used IC device size and number of attached programming sites. For large devices the required free space on disk will be approximately 1000MB + 2x Device size x number of programming sites attached to this PC.

Very easy indication, if your PC in hardware/software configuration is good enough for the current software version and current situation with PG4UW/PG4UWMC, is to run Windows task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and see the performance folder. It have to be max. 80% of CPU usage at full run of programming system.

Why is it important to use the latest version of the control

program?

• Semiconductor manufacturers continuously introduce new devices with new package types, manufactured by new technologies in order to support the need for flexibility, quality and speed in product design and manufacturing. To keep pace and to keep you up-to-date, we usually implement more than 5000 new devices into the control program within a year.

• Furthermore, a typical programmable device undergoes several changes during its lifetime in an effort to maintain or to improve its technical characteristics and process yields. These changes often impact with the programming algorithms, which need to be upgraded (the programming algorithm is a set of instructions that tells the programmer how to program data into a particular target device). Using the newest algorithms in the programming process is the key to obtaining high quality results. In many cases, while the older algorithm will still program the device, they may not provide the level of data retention that would be possible with an optimal algorithm. Failure to not use the most current algorithm can decrease your programming yields (more improper programmed target devices), and may often increase programming times, or even affect the long term reliability of the programmed device.

• We are making mistakes too ... .

Our commitment is to implement support for these new or modified parts before or as soon as possible after their release, so that you can be sure that you are using latest and/or optimal programming algorithms that were created for this new device.

• free technical support (phone/fax/e-mail).

• free lifetime software update via Web site.

Free software updates are available from our Internet address

Detailed description

866C

Introduction

866C is a new and faster version of 866B programmer (without LPT port interface).

866C support all kinds of types and silicon technologies of today and tomorrow

programmable devices without family-specific module. You have freedom to choose the optimal device for your design. Using built-in in-circuit serial programming (ISP) connector, the programmer is able to program ISP capable chips in circuit.

866C aren’t only programmer, but also tester of TTL/CMOS logic ICs and memories. Furthermore, it allows generating user-definable test pattern sequences.

866C provide very competitive price coupled with excellent hardware design for reliable programming. It is probably best "value for money" programmer in this class.

866C provide very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware and execution of time-critical routines inside of the programmer. It is at least fast than competitors in this category, for many chips much faster than most competitors. As a result, when used in production this one-socket-programmer waits for an operator, and not the other way round.

866C interfaces with the IBM PC Pentium compatible or higher, portable or desktop personal computers through USB (2.0/1.1) port.

866C provides a banana jack for ESD wrist straps connection to easy-to-implement the ESD protection control and also other banana jack for earth wire.

866C have a FPGA based totally reconfigurable 48 powerful TTL pindrivers, where provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability for each pin of socket. Advanced pindrivers incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to deliver signals without overshoot or ground bounce for all supported devices. Improved pindrivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of today's advanced low-voltage devices.

866C performs device insertion test (wrong or backward position) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities, supported by overcurrent protection and signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.

The selftest capability allows running diagnostic part of software to thoroughly check the health of the programmer.

Built-in protection circuits eliminate damage of programmer and/or programmed device due environment or operator failure. All the inputs of the 866C programmer, including the ZIF socket, ISP connector, connection to PC and power supply input, are protected against ESD up to 15kV.

866C programmer performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.

Various socket converters are available to handle device in PLCC, SOIC, PSOP, SSOP, TSOP, TSSOP, TQFP, QFN (MLF), SDIP, BGA and other packages.

866C programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down menu, hot keys and on-line help. Selecting of device is performed by its class, by manufacturer or simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number.

Standard device-related commands (read, blank check, program, verify, erase) are boosted by some test functions (insertion test, signature-byte check), and some special functions (autoincrement, production mode - start immediately after insertion of chip into socket).

All known data formats are supported. Automatic file format detection and conversion during load of file.

The rich-featured autoincrement function enables to assign individual serial numbers to each programmed device - or simply increments a serial number, or the function enables to read serial numbers or any programmed device identification signatures from a file.

The software also provides a lot of information about programmed device. As a special, the drawings of all available packages, explanation of chip labeling (the meaning of prefixes and suffixes at the chips) for each supported chip are provided.

The software provide full information for ISP implementation: Description of ISP connector pins for currently selected chip, recommended target design around in-circuit programmed chip and other necessary information.

The remote control feature allows being PG4UW software flow controlled by other application – either using .BAT file commands or using DLL file. DLL file, examples (C/PAS/VBASIC/.NET) and manual are part of standard software delivery.

Jam files of JEDEC standard JESD-71 are interpreted by Jam Player. Jam files are generated by design software which is provided by manufacturer of respective programmable device. Chips are programmed in ZIF or through ISP connector (IEEE 1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface).

VME files are interpreted by VME Player. VME file is a compressed binary variation of SVF file and contains high-level IEEE 1149.1 bus operations. VME files are generated by design software which is provided by manufacturer of respective programmable device. Chips are programmed in ZIF or through ISP connector (IEEE 1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface). Multiple devices are possible to program and test via JTAG chain: JTAG chain (ISP-Jam) or JTAG chain (ISP-VME).

Attaching of more 866C programmers to the same PC (through USB port) is achieved a

powerful multiprogramming system, which support as many chips, as are supported by 866C programmer and without obvious decreasing of programming speed. It is important

to know, there is a concurrent multiprogramming - each programmer works independently and each programmer can program different chip, if necessary.

It is important to remember that in most cases new devices require only a software update due to the 866C is truly universal programmer. With our prompt service you can have new devices can be added to the current list within hours!

Advanced design including protection circuits, original brand components and careful manufacturing and burning allows us to provide a one-year warranty on parts and labor for the 866C (limited 25,000-cycle warranty on ZIF socket).

Problems related to the 866C  PC interconnection, and their

removing

If you have any problems with 866C  PC interconnection, see section Common notes please.

Manipulation with the programmed device

After selection of desired device for your work, you can insert into the open ZIF socket (the lever is up) and close socket (the lever is down). The correct orientation of the programmed device in ZIF socket is shown on the picture near ZIF socket on the programmer's cover. The programmed device is necessary to insert into the socket also to remove from the socket when LED BUSY light off.

Note: Programmer's protection electronics protect the target device and the programmer itself against either short or long-term power failures and, partly, also against a PC failure. However, it is not possible to grant the integrity of the target device due to incorrect, userselected programming parameters. Target device may be not destroyed by forced interruption of the control program (reset or switch-off PC), by removing the physical connection to the programmer, but the content of actually programmed cell may remains undefined. Don't unplug the target device from the ZIF socket during work with device (LED BUSY shine).

844USB

Introduction

844USB is next member of new generation of Windows based B+K PRECISION universal programmers. Programmer is built to meet the demands of the development labs and field engineers to universal, but portable programmer.

844USB is a small, fast and powerful programmer of all kinds of programmable devices. Using build-in in-circuit serial programming (ISP) connector the programmer is able to program ISP capable chips in-circuit. 844USB isn't only a programmer, but also a static RAM tester.

844USB provides very competitive price with excellent hardware design for reliable programming. Nice "value for money" in this class.

844USB provides very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware and USB

2.0 full speed port.

844USB interfaces with the IBM PC Pentium compatible or higher, portable or desktop personal computers through USB port,.

844USB has 40 powerful TTL pindrivers provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability for each pin of socket. Advanced pindrivers incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to deliver signals without overshoot or ground bounce for all supported devices. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of today's advanced lowvoltage devices.

The programmer performs device insertion test (wrong device position in socket) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities, supported by signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.

844USB programmer performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.

844USB programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down menu, hot keys and on-line help. Selecting of device is performed by its class, by manufacturer or simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number.

Standard device-related commands (read, blank check, program, verify, erase) are boosted by some test functions (insertion test, signature-byte check), and some special functions (autoincrement).

All known data formats are supported. Automatic file format detection and conversion during load of file.

Various socket converters are available to handle device in PLCC, SOIC, SSOP, TSOP, TSSOP, TQFP, QFN (MLF) and other packages.

Advanced design of the 844USB programmer and careful manufacturing and burning allows us to provide a one-year warranty on parts and labor for the programmer (limited 25 000cycle warranty on ZIF socket).
