Test Vector Stretching
Conversion of DIP test vectors to equivalent PLCC test vectors by adding
don’t care vector characters into the string to correspond with the PLCC’s
dead pins.
Total set size
Used during serial set programming, this value specifies how many
devices are in a set.
Translate DIP/LCC Vectors
See JEDEC I/O translate DIP/LCC Vectors.
Translation Formats
A form of transmission protocol, these formats are used when
transferring data between the programmer and a host computer. The
different formats represent different ways of encoding the device data in
a data file. The data file could contain the fuse pattern for a logic device or
the data for a memory device.
Transmit Pacing
The number of milliseconds the programmer will insert as a time-delay
between characters transmitted to the host computer during uploading.
The time delay is specified in tenths of milliseconds.
Transparent Mode
One of the programmer’s three operating modes. The programmer is
controlled from either a dedicated terminal or from a workstation
running a terminal emulation package. In addition, the Remote port is
connected to a host computer or file server. The programmer performs all
of its programmer operations, and can act as a transparent link between
the terminal/workstation and the host, eliminating the need for a switch
box. Thus, you can control both the programmer and the host from the
same terminal/workstation. With one exception, all keystrokes entered
on the terminal will be passed directly to the host. The exception is the
Escape command.
TSOP
An acronym for Thin Small Outline Package, a type of device package. A
rectangular device with gull-wing leads on the short sides. Also called
TSOP I.
Underblow
A condition in which fuses that should have been blown or programmed
were not.
Underblown Fuse
A fuse that did not disconnect as per manufacturer’s specifications. These
fuses may test properly but tend to be more prone to grow back when in
circuit, rendering the PLD useless.
Universal Pin Driver
A pin driver with the ability to supply power and ground to every pin.
With Universal Pin Drivers, you can program and test devices without
having to use pin out adapters and characterizers.
Universal PLD
Programmer
A programmer that can apply power, ground, and any programming
pulse required to program any fuse technology device.
Upload Data
A file transfer operation that involves sending data from the programmer
to a host.
Upload Host Command
A command that is sent from the programmer to the host during an
upload. The command tells the host what to do with the incoming data.
Upload Wait
The length of time the programmer will wait before it begins sending
data to the host computer after the host upload command is sent.
