Compare Electronic ID
This feature compares the electronic ID of a device with the electronic ID
specified in the selected algorithm; this helps prevent accidental damage
to a device.
Note: This command is not supported for devices selected by family/pinout code.
CAUTION: Turning this feature off could enable you to program a device
with the wrong algorithm and could result in damage to that
device. We recommend that you keep this feature turned on
at all times.
To compare the electronic ID of a device with the ID stored in the selected
algorithm, follow these steps:
1.
Select and socket a device that supports electronic ID testing.
Note: You cannot use an electronic ID to automatically select the proper
algorithm to program a device. You also cannot use this feature on devices
that do not support electronic ID testing.
2.
Press E
NTER
, and UniSite-xpi compares the electronic ID of the
socketed device against the electronic ID of the selected device. If the
electronic ID of the socketed device matches the electronic ID of the
selected device, you see the following message in the message bar:
OPERATION COMPLETE. Device = ssssssss
where ssssssss is the electronic ID of the socketed device.
3.
If UniSite-xpi detects an electronic ID that does not match the selected
device type, you see the following message in the message bar:
OPERATION FAILED: Electronic ID verify error. Device =
ssssssss
where ssssssss is the electronic ID of the socketed device.
Illegal Bit Check
The Illegal bit test compares data in a device against data in UniSite-xpi’s
RAM to determine if the device has already-programmed locations of
incorrect polarity. For example, UniSite-xpi returns an illegal-bit error in
the following situation: data in RAM indicates a specific bit should be in
an unprogrammed state while the corresponding bit in the device is in a
programmed state. The device cannot be programmed if UniSite-xpi
detects an illegal bit.
If UniSite-xpi detects an illegal bit, it displays an error message. If the
device is erasable, the illegal bit can be corrected by erasing the device.
The Illegal Bit Check is supported for both logic and memory devices, but
is not supported for electronically erasable devices.
