INTRODUCTION
SEP 40 is next member of new generation of Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP based

universal programmers. Programmer is built to meet the demands of the development labs and field
engineers to universal, but portable programmer.
SEP 40 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.
Provides very competitive price but excellent hardware design for reliable programming. Nice
“value for money” in this class.
Very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware and support of IEEE1284 (ECP/
EPP) high-speed parallel port. Surely faster than competitors in this category.
SEP 40 interfaces with the IBM PC, AT or above, portable or desktop personal computers through
any standard parallel (printer) port (no special interface card needed). Therefore you can take
programmer and move it to another PC without assembly/disassembly of PC.
SEP 40 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 low-voltage 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.
Programmer’s hardware offers enough resources for selftest, that control program is any time be able
to check pindrivers, present and correct level of all voltages, check the timing and communication
between programmer and PC.
SEP 40 programmer performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage,
which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.
SEP 40 is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down menus, 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 enhanced 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.
