1) Introduction 

The Programming Adapter was designed to be added to the QF4A512’s Development board for the purpose of 
programming bulk volumes 10,000 parts or less of EEPROM.  Additional connectors can also be added to the 
development board so that parts can also be tested, programs checked etc in the lab and manufacturing floor.   

(Note make sure you have downloaded QF software version 4.0.0 Build 0016 or later from our website) 

The User’s Guide for the Programming Adapter board describes the following: 

 

Board Layout definition. 

 

Powering the Programming Adapter Board. 

 

Plugging in the Programming Adapter Board. 

 

Programming example sequence. 

 

Auto Configure and Auto Start options addressed. 

 

Using an external clock source. 

 Schematics. 

 

Silk Screen for component reference. 

 

2)  Board Layout / Prototyping area definition: 

The QF4A512 – PA board was designed to be plugged into the QF4A512 development board.  See Figure 1 below for 
a visual definition of the board.
