Some SMD devices need adapters, please contact Xeltek or its dealers for your adapter needs. Second, insert the chip or adapter correctly on the ZIF-48 socket of the programmer. Instructions for SMD and non-standard insertion will appear on the screen when the selection of the device is made on the software . If no special adapter/instruction information appears, than most likely you have DIP IC package. This IC pa ckage is always inserted bottom justified on the ZIP-48 socket of the programmer. 3.2.1 Select device Click on either the Device pull down menu or Device button to select your chip for programming. A dialog box will appear where you can select your chip. You can manually enter your part number into the search box to Xeltek, Inc. directly go to your part or you can search for your part by first selecting the Device Type (E/EPROM, BPROM, SRAM, PLD, or MCU) followed by manufacturer and device part number from the screen. Click OK button or double-click the device to confirm your selection. 3.2.2 Load data into Buffer The programmer accesses data in the buffer. User file should be loaded into the buffer before programming. Another buffer data source is the master chip. Loading a data file You may load a data file into the memory buffer by either clicking on the File menu and selecting Load File to browse for your data file or by clicking on the Load button. After selecting your data file, a File Type box will appear where you will need to select the appropriate file type of your data file. At this point, the selected data will be loaded into the memory buffer. Please go to the Buffer Edit screen and check if the data is loaded properly. Note: Some Hex or S record files contain non -zero file start address. In this case, the start address should be entered in the File address box. Loading data from a master chip: Loading data from a master chip begins by reading data from a chip. Insert the master chip/adapter with chip inserted on the programmer and select the chip in the software. Click on the Read function located in the device function area. The result of the Read function, will copy the data from the master chip into the memory buffer. At this point you may go to the memory buffer edit screen and check if the data is loaded correctly. The data may be saved to a disk for later use. Note1: Only the chip in the master module (#1) is readable. Note2: Some devices have no read function or are encrypted. Data cannot be read from under this condition 3.2.3 Options 1) Operation Option including: ·Insertion Test, checks the pin contact before programming. ·ID Check, check device’s ID before programming. ·Beeper On, beeper sound off when the operation succeed or fail. ·Verify Mode, gives the user the option to choose specific VCC voltage values during verification in order to check if the chip is correctly being programmed. Use appropriate VCC values according to your chip. 2) Edit Auto, gives the user the option to create batch commands to automatically perform multiple device functions. Click on the Edit Auto button located on the Operation Toolbar or under Options pull down menu and add/delete functions you want listed under the Auto list. Clicking the Auto function in the device function area of the software will run these batch commands. Normally, the following programming steps are included under Auto list, ·Erase ·Blank_check ·Program ·Verify ·Security or Protect 3) Dev. Config, gives the user the capability to enable/disable available options specific for a chip. These options must be properly set before programming to ensure the chip can be used on the targeted system 4) Dev. Information, some devices have special requests or conventions of programming so user should adjust operation steps or buffer data after carefully read ing the information in the Dev. Information box 5) Production Mode , puts the software in a mode where programming a large number of chips is made easy. With the help of insertion test and batch Auto commands, users simply insert and plucking out the chip under the Production Mode. You must first edit the Auto list to suit your needs and then press the Auto function to start operating in production mode. 3.2.4 Program the Data in Memory Buffer into a Chip If the chip package is not DIP encapsulation, user may need to buy the adapter according to the info in the Adapter Xeltek, Inc. box. (Contact Xeltek for selection and purchase the adapters.) Insert the chip properly into the socket; followed by these steps: ·Blank Check, this step can be skipped if the chip is brand new ·Program ·Verify, this step is necessary. The programming cannot be implemented unless passing the Verification ·If the chip to program is not blank, you should add Erase before the Blank Chec k. ·If encryption is required, add Security or Protect after Verify ·User can choose Auto to perform multiple functions. 4 Description of Function After reading through the Quick Start section , you may want to know more about the process of programming and features available on the software . This chapter encompasses the following, ·menu and tool bar ·select device and device info box ·edit buffer and file info box ·device function screen ·operation info screen ·status bar 4.1 menu and tool bar 4.1.1 File 4.1.1.1 Load The two data types of device are Data (HEX/ASCII) and Fuse For most EPROM and SCM, the data type is Data (HEX/ASCII) and for PLD devices it is Fuse. After device selection, the software will identify the data type automatically. To view the data type for your chip, go to the buffer edit screen. Files are loaded into one of two buffer types, HEX/ASCII buffer (EPROM, MCU etc.) and JEDEC buffer (PLD/PAL). • For data type Data (HEX/ASCII), select Load menu, the following Load File box will popup. To select a data file to be loaded, enter the path and file name into the name field. If the full path or the exact name of Xeltek, Inc. the file is unknown, then a partial path may be entered using wild cards, e.g. ‘*.*’ or ‘*.bin’. You need to select the appropriate data type of your data file when the software asks for the file type so that the data can be loaded correctly. The file types include Binary (or POF), Intel HEX, Motorola S record and Tektronix Hex. Refer to the File Type box below (no such box under JEDEC files) 1. If the start address is unknown, choose this option (at Left, Lower screen corner) – Show Offset Address after Loading. 2. Data are filled into buffer from this address. 3. Data loaded into data buffer from this address of the data file. 4. Loading Mode, some files have non-zero file start or file offset address. This should be entered in the file start address for proper data loading. Uncorrected file offset address will cause FF to be stored in the beginning part of the buffer. Uncorrected large offset address may cause data overflow in the buffer and system failure may occur. Loading Mode: Normal: all file be loaded Even: keep the first byte within every two bytes; drop the second. Odd: keep the second byte within every two bytes ; drop the first. Others by analogy. ·As for Fuse, the file type is JEDEC whose extension name is *.JED. After file selection, it is unnecessary to select the file types. As for Altera chips, these chips use POF files. If user is programming Altera chips, please see Q&A section. 4.1.1.2 Save This selection will save the current data in the buffer to disk. For E/EPROM, BPROM or MCU device types, Save File window will popup. Give a location and file name for your data file. Next, the File Type box will popup where you can give your data file a file type. For PLD devices, the Save JED File dialogue box will popup for you to enter a file name. 4.1.1.3 Recent Project By saving the file path of recent project, it is convenient for user to reopen the projects. 4.1.1.4 Exit This command closes the programmer software. 4.1.2 Buffer The following selections under the Buffer pull down menu, manages data in the buffer. 4.1.2.1 Edit The selection brings up Fuse Buffer Edit window if the device buffer type is Fuse. For all other cases, it brings up Data Buffer (HEX/ASCII) Edit window. You may edit the buffer data on the screen with the following keys: Page up Page down Xeltek, Inc. Moves cursor to the beginning of the buffer Moves cursor to the end of the buffer Moves cursor to the beginning of the line Moves cursor to the end of the line 4.1.2.1.1 HEX/ASCII data buffer The HEX/ASCII data buffer is 8-bit wide. TAB key may be used to switch between HEX and ASCII data for editing . According to the rule, if required to enter start and end addresses, the value of start address must be less than that of the end address. ·Locate: In Locate Buffer dialog box, enter the address you wish to see displayed and press OK. The cursor will blink at address. ·Fill The function will bring up the Fill Data Into Buffer dialogue box. Input the appropriate start address, end Address, and fill data value. When finish press the ok button. For the Fuse Buffer Edit window, fill data values are in binary. For the Data Buffer Edit window, fill data values are in two character HEX code, such as AA, 55, E4 ·Copy The function displays Copy Buffer dialogue box. It consists of Start Address, End Address, Copy to Address input lines, OK and Cancel buttons. Data between start address and end address will be copied to the buffer beginning with new address. ·Swap Swap MSB and LSB byte order for the specified word width in the address range. For example, assuming data buffer addresses 0-F (HEX) is: 12 34 56 78 90 AA BB CC – DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55 The word width for selecting is: 16 Bits (2 bytes), after swapping the data is: 34 12 78 56 AA 90 CC BB – EE DD 11 FF 33 22 55 44 32 Bits (4 bytes), after swapping the data is: 78 56 34 12 CC BB AA 90 – 11 FF EE DD 55 44 33 22 64 Bits (8 bytes), after swapping the data is: CC BB AA 90 78 56 34 12 – 55 44 33 22 11 FF EE DD ·Radix Toggles between HEX and DEC memory address display. ·Search Xeltek, Inc. Searches for a combination of HEX/ASCII codes ·Next Performs the next search for the search string in Search 4.1.2.1.2 Fuse Buffer The data for editing is either 0 or 1, which has different meanings depending on the device. For some devices 1 and 0 can mean, ·1 represents an intact fuse 0 represents a blown fuse For others, ·1 represents an blown fuse 0 represent an intact fuse User can define the significations of 0 or 1 according to the devices’ manual and JEDEC files. Note the three important options in the Buffer Edit dialogue box: ·Buffer clear at IC change: clear the buffer after device being selected ·Buffer clear on data load: clear the buffer before load file data ·Buffer save when exit: save buffer data before exiting the software. When entering the software again, the mot previous saved buffer data will be loaded automatically. 4.1.2.2 Save Buffer When the buffer data is saved to a file, the format looks like the following: HEX/ASCII data buffer 00000000 00000010 00000020 00000030 4D B8 00 00 5A 00 00 00 90 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-04 00-40 00-00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Fuse data buffer 00000768 00000800 00000832 00000864 10011010101010101010101010101010 01101010101010101010101010101010 10100110101010101010101010101010 10101010011010101010101010101010 00 00 00 00 FF 00 00 80 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 MZ.._..._....... ........@....... ................ ................ Xeltek, Inc. 00000896 00000928 00000960 00000992 10101010101001101010101010101010 10101010101010100110101010101010 10101010101010101010011010101010 10101010101010101010101001101010 4.1.2.3 Encryption Table The Load Encryption Table, with its two sub-menus, manages an encryption array. The two sub-menus will appear only if the chip selected is equipped with an encryption array. Load: Brings up the Load Encryption Table dialogue box. Enter the name of the file to be loaded in the input line provided. Edit: Opens the Encryption Buffer Edit window for viewing and editing. 4.1.2.4 E-Fuse If the data type of the device is Fuse and the JEDEC file hasan E-field, bring up the E-Field Fuse Data Edit dialogue box, located under the Buffer pull down menu. Please refer to the chapter about the Fuse Buffer. 4.1.3 Device Before any operation, please select the device for programming, so that the programmer could select the proper algorithm according to the name and manufacturer of your chip. 4.1.3.1 Select Device The function brings up Select Device dialogue box. It consists of Manufacturer list viewer, Device Name list viewer, Device Type button and OK, Cancel button, and Search Edit box. How to select a device? ·Select the device type through the Type Selection button, total five groups: E/EPROM (including EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH), PLD, B/PROM, DRAM/SRAM, MCU. If not sure, please select All. ·Select the manufacture in the Manufacture r column . ·Select the device name through the Device Name column, click OK button. The part number written on a chip may include letters and numbers to indicate speed, temperature, and encapsulation parameter. These extra letters can be ignored if what is written on the chip is different compared to the Device Name given by the software. Use of the Search Edit box: Since the large quantity of the devices and difference of the chips’ name, there may be some trouble in selecting the device directly. The Search Edit box helps to select. By entering some characters of your chip, will decrease the number chips the software has to search. For example, entering ‘89’ in the Search Edit box all the devices, whether its name or manufacturer, containing ‘89’ will be listed as a result . The search function is sensitive to the sequence of the character string. The character strings such as ‘819’, ‘DA8S9’ will be listed, but ‘98’ will be ignored. Xeltek, Inc. Using Search Edit box reduces the number of devices listed. Users also need to select the encapsulation of the device. For example, as the picture above, DSB9C420 represents a DIP chip, DS89C420@PLCC44 represents a PLCC 44-pin chip, and DSB9C420@TQFP44 represents a TQFP 44-pin chip. 4.1.3.2 Dev. Information Some devices have special instructions and conventions, which users need to take in consideration when programming their chip. These instructions may include, ·arrangement of the data buffer content ·explanations of the devices’ special operation In the popup Special Information dialogue box, user should read the info carefully, and configure properly according to the requests to ensure programming successfully . Refer to the device’s manual to find out more about the chip. 4.1.3.3 Adapter Information Xeltek, Inc. The programmer is equipped with a standard DIP socket. For some device types , users need to use appropriate adapters. The Adapter Information dialogue box including: ·Adapter type such as SA244 ·A PEP module may be necessary to program devices which have larger pin count. ·Instruction for insertion ·Applicable chip’s size ·Routing layout of the adapter and DIP socket Chip Insertion ·DIP: Are inserted bottom justified of the socket with the nick upward. The dia gram below is the process of inserting a 28-pin chip. ·Non-DIP: Socket adapters are available for PLCC, QFP, SOIC etc. Insert the chip according to the instructions in the Adapter Information box. The insertion follows the position of pin 1. It is necessary to identify the pin 1 of the chip. In the Adapter Insertion dialogue box, there is a solid square, which indicates the position of pin 1. Xeltek, Inc. ·Adapters are inserted in the same way as DIP devices. Note: usually the front side of the chip is placed upwards; but for PLCC 20-pin chip, it needs to be placed with the front side downwards. This method is called Dead Bug. Xeltek, Inc. 4.1.4 Options This function helps users to program in a specific mode to meet the targeted system requirements. 4.1.4.1 Operation Option This option includes: ·Insertion Test Only for chips with 48 pins or less (includ ing the chips with more than 48 pins, which are transformed to 48 pins or less by an adapter) By selecting this option, the programmer will check the pin contact status before programming. The check process includes a check for loose contact, insertion orientation correctness, and more. An error message will be displayed if there is a failure during the insertion test. ·ID Check Device ID is the code read from the chip to identify the manufacturer and the device type. This means the device ID will be checked before programming. An error message will be displayed if there is a failure during the id test. ·Beeper On During the operation, the beeper in the programmer will sound-off to indicate the result of operation, such as Insertion Test error, ID unmatched, programming successfully or failed etc. This option allows user to turn on or off the beeper. ·Verify Mode It is necessary to verify after the programming of a chip. VCC voltage for verification is different for each chip. 1. Use VCC (+/ - 5%) or (+/- 10%) to verify. For example, VCC=5.00V. Use VCC=5.00V to verify once, or use VCC=4.74V and VCC =5.25V to verify twice (+/ - 5%), or use VCC=4.50V and VCC=5.50V to verify twice (+/ 10%). 2. Use MinVcc and MaxVcc to verify. Note: The Operation Option will vary with the various devices. i.e. Most SCMs don’t allow user to set the start and end address of the device. 4.1.4.2 Edit Auto In the Edit Auto dialogue box, all devices have an Auto option , which is like a batch command. This function allows the user to perform multiple device functions at once. For example, select ATMEL AT89C51, open Edit Auto dialogue box. On the left of the box is Device Functions column in which all device operations are displayed. On the right of the box isAuto column in which operations needed and operation sequence are displayed. Xeltek, Inc. In the diagram above, the operation sequence is Erase, Blank_check, Program, Verify, Lock_Bit124. Add button: add the functions in the left column to the right Auto column Delete button: remove the functions from the Auto column Delete All button: remove all the functions from the Auto column Double click on the functions listed in the left column to add them to the Auto sequence. Double click on the functions listed in the Auto sequence to remove them. Once the Auto menu has been edited , the auto sequence will be saved in the hard disk. This option helps to improve the efficiency of programming. 4.1.4.3 Device Config Some SCMs allow users to configure special modes of the chip. Such as memory block mapping, watchdog timer, clock, and encryption. In the picture below, is the ConfigWord of DALLAS DS89C420, which has watchdog and three encryption modes. Some SCMs have some ConfigWord that its option may be divided into 2 or more pages. Users need to configure every page before the programming. The configuration of the ConfigWord includes 8-bit edit line, 16-bit edit line, radio box and check box. The ConfigWord program includes, 1. If there is encryption option in the ConfigWord, the verify operation cannot be executed; therefore the software will disable encryption automatically and write the other options in the ConfigWord into the chip during the programming. Users need to use Operation Option Security and Protect to write the encryption option. If you select None in the encryption option, the Security and Protect is unavailable. 2. Since some ConfigWord cannot be written separately, they will not be written during the programming. At this point the relevant Operation Option is required, such as Write_Option. Different devices require different ConfigWord. Reference is in the devices’ manual. Some FLASH devices also use ConfigWord to execute Protect function and displaysegment protect. Xeltek, Inc. 4.1.4.4 Parameter This function displays vital parameter of the chip, including VCC, time and retry times after failure. These parameters cannot be revised. 4.1.4.5 Production Mode This function is used to program devices in large numbers. With the Insert ion Test, the programmer detects the chip’s insertion and carries out automatically the execution of the auto operation sequence. If a nonsupport window pops up, that means the device does not support production mode. Advice: First select the device and edit the auto menu. After tests, select production mode, and execute auto program, according to the info displayed in the “Operation Message1” . Xeltek, Inc. 1. Get chip off Pls : program finished and wait for chip off, please take the chip off. At this point, check the result of programming, whether success or failure, according to the info in “Message”. 2. Put chip in Pls: wait for chip insertion, insert the chip into the socket properly. 3. PROGRAMMING…: wait finishing. Asynchronous programming mode: every module programs the chip independently, user can get off the chip and put in another chip when programming finishes in this module, is independent of the other modules. To end the production mode, please click Cancel button. 4.1.5 Project A Project file encompasses the following: ·current device ’s info, such as manufacturer name, type, pin info, ConfigWord, current buffer data and data file name.(Since the buffer data can be revised , the buffer data may differ from the data file therefore project file must be resaved to include changes made on buffer data.) ·all Operation Option settings Auto program sequence Project records all the preparation works before programming. Users can return to the previous environment by opening the project. In this way, users can avoid error during the work, Note: The software update and reinstallation to another folder will make the project saved previously become unavailable. 4.1.5.1 Load Project Load project by selecting the file in the File dialogue box.

Frequently used operations are explained below. Auto: The function executes a series of operation in sequence. Please refer to 4.1.4.2 Program: The function writes the data from the buffer into the chip. The Verify function is performed in two modes. One mode is verifying wh ile programming. This method ensures the correctness of programming. If an error occurs, the error message will be displayed and the process will be ceased. The other method is not verifying during the programming. Even if an error occurs, the process will not be ceased. When the last address is written, the program successful message will be displayed. Anyway, the program successful message only means that the program process is finished, the correctness is dependent on the result of verification. Read: The function reads the content of the chip into the buffer. To view the content read, please open the Buffer Edit dialogue box. Note: 1) For the encrypted chips, their content cannot be read 2) For the chips with ConfigWord, the ConfigWord will be read and save to ConfigWord buffer. 3) For PLD devices, their test vector is not in the chip, thus reading it is unavailable. Verify: The function compares the content of the buffer to that of the chip. If there is any discrepancy, verification will cease and failure message will be displayed. For most memory chips and SCM chips, the failure message includes address and data. For PLD chip, the message displayed is dependent on the programming reference. Only the chips that pass verification can be recognized as chips being programmed correctly. Blank check: This function checks if the device is in blank state, which is dependent on the data manual. If selecting fill data Xeltek, Inc. buffer blank as devices changed, the programmer will fill all the HEX/ASCII buffer data with FF or 00 (Hex), and Fuse buffer data with 1 or 0 after the devices selected. An encrypted chip is displayed as a blank chip. EEPROM does not need Bank_check. How to write over a chip into blank? 1) For chips that can be erased electrically, execute Erase 2) For chips that can be erased with ultraviolet ray, use the ultraviolet ray eraser for 3-30 minutes. 3) For OTP, once written it is unable to be written over back to blank again. Erase: Erase the chip to blan k state. This operation can only be executed with the chip that can be erased electrically. EEPROM doesn't need to execute this operation. If you need a chip of blank state you can directly program the blank data to the chip. Some chips that can be erased electrically are able to become an OTP by configure the ConfigWord. Please refer to the device data manual. Protect: 1) Security the data to make them unreadable. Whether the protect state is readable or not, affect the editing of the operation function. When the protect state is unreadable, the Protect operation will be added to the operation function window. As long as the Protect function is executed, the chip will be protected. If the protect state is readable, the state None and all the protect options w ill be listed out for user to select. The protect operation will be executed according to the ConfigWord. If user select None, the protect operation is non -functional. Note: Some manufacturers’ chips with window will be used again after full-protect, and ultraviolet ray eraser is also unable to erase. 2) For FLASH chips, this function is for protecting the data in the chip s. The protected chip is not re -writable before the protection removed. The Erase operation would remove the protection. This operation is required to be used with Dev. Config. Users need to identify the Sector to protect. There are two ways to select the Sector, 1. Users enter the address of several (max 8) sectors to decide the sectors to protect. After the protect operation, the sectors whose addresses are entered will be protected. 2. Divide the chip into several sector groups, users can only choose these groups to protect. Security: equal to Protect, Erease_All: equal to Erase Protect_All: equal to Protect Lock_Bit: the notion for protects. Please refer to the manual. Above are commonly used functions. For some devices, which have special requirements and functions, the operation function window may be different. For detailed information, user could refer to: 1. The manual of the device 2. Dev. Information Xeltek, Inc. 3. The technical support of XELTEK 4.6 Operation Info Window This is for the interaction between the software and users. The operation process, result and history will be displayed in this window. It includes two parts: Operation Message1: show status of 4 modules. Programming has two methods: Normal mode and Mass-Production mode Normal mode: Put 4 chips properly and execute the function (Auto, Program, Verify, and etc.). Wait for all 4 chip operation completing, get off 4 chips and put other 4 chips and go on. Mass-Production mode: With the help of insertion test, programmer detects chip and programs the chip automatically. 1. Module No. and LED 2. Operation Message 3. Module’s Number of Success and Failure 4. Total Number of Success and Failure Operation Message2: Programmer uses the CF card as memory. Selecting device, changing buffer, and setting option etc. will cause the downloading process, which spends time depending on the size of chip. When downloading occurs, wait until it ends. Xeltek, Inc. 4.7 Status Bar This bar displays the menu info, the process of operation, and a Cancel button. Click Cancel button, the box will pop up Cancel process. Continue? The Cancel operation may destroy the chip, please use it selectively. 5 Trouble Shooting During the operation, user is able to monitor and correct the progress of the operation through Operation Info window and message window. This chapter will help user to deal with some common trouble. 5.1 Data File Format Detail usage of the file type dialogue box. 5.1.1 Intel Hex, Motorola and Tektronix formats The data for program usually are stored in the data file. Commonly used formats are Intel Hex, Motorola and Tektronix. These file formats save data in text mode, which include data info and address info. The offset address is not always zero. If user loads the file directly, some errors may occursuch as the location of data in buffer is incorrect or unable to load file. The message window is as following: Invalid file type, or all file data overflow Resolution: 1) Confirm the file type and ensure the buffer able to load all the file 2) Find the file ’s o ffset address. User can do this by selecting the option to show the start ing address of the file. Thus the starting address of file will be disp layed after file selection. For example: File Offset Address (min): 0x0000E0000 (Hex) This means the offset address of the file is not 0; users need to move the data o f the address to the address 0. To do that, user should reload the file and enter E000 in the file start address edit line in the File Type dialogue box. 5.1.2 Program a split File to Two or More Chips By the File Load Mode in the File Type dialogue box, users can program a file data to several chips of the same type. The how-to is as following: 1. Based on byte (8bit), divide the file into two parts by the odd and even address, and program the two parts into two chips respectively. User selects odd in the File Load Mode, the data in the address 0,2,4,6…. will be programmed to one chip; user selects even, the data in the address 1.3.5.7…. will be programmed to the other chip. 2. Based on byte (8bit), take a byte within every four bytes, and program the file to four chips. User selects one byte within every four bytes in the File Load Mode box, the data in address 0,4,8,12…. will be programmed to one chip, others by analogy. Xeltek, Inc. 3. Based on byte (16bit), take the former two bytes (or the latter two) within every four bytes to form a 16bit byte, and program to two chips. 5.1.3 Program Two or More Files to One Chip Here is an example of programming three files to a chip. From the address 200 (Hex) of file sample1 program the data to the address 0 of the chip; from the address 0 (Hex) of file sample2 program the data to the address 3000 (Hex) of the chip; from the address 4000 (Hex) of file sample3 program the data to the address 4000 (Hex) of the chip. Step one: Open Buffer Edit dialogue box, with Clear Buffer During File Loading unselected. Step two Select file sample1. Enter 0 in the buffer start address line and 200 in the file start address line. Load the file. Select file sample2. Enter 3000 in the buffer start address line and 0 in the file start address line. Load the file. Select file sample3. Enter 4000 in the buffer start address line and 4000 in the file start address line. Load the file. Step three Program Users can also save the data in buffer to a file sample4, then directly load sample4 to program 5.1.4 File of POF Format Some companies , such as A LTERA, save data in POF format. During file loading, a File Type box will pop up for user to select. 1) POF file, which is created by a compiler, will be transformed to Fuse data and will be checked when loaded into the buffer. Unmatched file to this chip: this means this POF file is not for this chip, please replace it with a matched one. Load POF file DLL error (not found): the secondary file has errors; please contact technical support. 2) Other formats. Mainly the JED file. The data will save in a JED file after reading the chip. Use this mode when loading the file next time. 5.2 Adapter Selection The programmer is equipped with a ZIF socket and is designed to accept DIP devices with 48 pins (40 pins for Superpro Z) or less. Adapters are required to accept non-DIP devices or devices with more than 48 pins. There are two types of adapter, universal and specific. Universal adapters are applicable for all devices of same packaging and leads. Specific adapters are applicable for certain devices only. Why are specific adapters required? Technology in IC packaging is evolving and new package types have been introduced over time, therefore adapters are needed in order to accommodate the devices come in different package types or with more pins or leads. Xeltek, Inc. For the devices with pins between 48 and 100, if using a universal adapter, users need an expander to expand from the 48 pin driver to 100 pin driver; while for common devices the specific adapter is able to transform the device to a 48-pin directly. At this point, user has two options, one is using a universal adapter, and the other is using a specific adapter. The thing to pay attention to is to be careful when determining the device names during selecting. For example, if using universal adapter, the user should select 87C196KC@PLCC68 (universal adapter), otherwise select 87C196KC@PCC68 (special adapter). For 100pin or more devices, the specific adapter is required. How to select the correct types of adapter? After device selection, if the device required an adapter, the Adapter dialogue box will pop up. It includes the type of the adapter and the size of applicable chip. For example, Adapter type is SA244 Above is the information of PLCC package, E=pitch=1.27mm Width=D(16.6mm)/E(17.5mm) Length= D(16.6mm)/E(17.5mm) For selecting specific adapters, it requires more detail checking. For example, following is a specific adapter for PLCC68 The specific adapter consists of two parts: top board (with transform socket, type is SA648) and bottom board (type is B6805). Users should buy the adapter according to the information provided. Note: Since there is wiring diagram in the Adapter Info dialogue box, users can make the adapter by themselves. But it is strongly suggested to purchase the adapter from XELTEK due to the potential reliability issues of self-made adapters. Xeltek, Inc. 5.3 Other Messages Please edit Auto first: the Auto consequence is blank; please edit Auto.

Ignore: ignore the ID error and continue operation ID check error: ID error occurs, operation ceased User can ignore the ID error and continue the operation; however, the consequence is that damage of the chip may occur! Pin check error. Ignore: error occurs during pin check. Ignore it and continue Pin check error: error occurs during pin check and operation ceased Programmer not found: the pro grammer is not connected to the PC or connected improperly. Programmer not ready: shut down the power switch and open again after a few seconds Programmer is running: please wait until the operation finished File open error: open file failed Out of Memory: memory overflow Production mode isn’t available for this chip: Since the production mode is dependent on the pin check, the chips without pin check function are not applicable for production mode. Cancel production mode Too long file name User cance l: user cancels the operation Can’t cancel!: cancel failed Not a project file: the file selected is not a project file. After update the software may not be able to identify the file created previously. At this point the user need to create the file again. 5.4 How to simplify the operation and improve efficiency? Advice is below: Use A uto function Use production mode Use project file Use standalone mode if possible 5.5 Why programming failed? Please checkthe following steps: Whether improperly select the type of device or not, including package, adapter, etc. Xeltek, Inc. Whether select the adapter of original factory and insert the chip properly? Whether update the software? The chip’s manufacturing process is always improving. Therefore, the configuration of the programmer is always changing. Please update the software regularly or contact us. Whether the socket is smudgy or beyond its life cycle? Smudgy socket causes loose contact. The life cycle of the socket is about thousand of times used; please replace the socket with a new one. Whether the chip is protected, or write-protected? Please erase the chip or de-protect. Whether the AUTO INC function is selected? If it is selected, the verify command can only be executed in AUTO. Executing Verify separately after Program will fail when verifying the address storing count value. If your cases are not included above, please contact us to check if it is a hardware error.
