BK Precision 844USB, User Manual

Page: 18 / 137

859 performs on each programming module 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.
859 has the selftest capability, which allows run diagnostic part of software to thoroughly
check the health of the each programming module.
859 has a built-in protection circuits for eliminate damage of programmer and/or programmed
device due to environment or operator failure. All ZIF socket pins of 859 programmer are
protected against ESD up to 15kV.
859
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.
859 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 many 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 a 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 to be 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 programmer in-ZIF or through ISP connector (IEEE 1149.1 Joint Test
Action Group (JTAG) interface).
