Main Features |
|

- Available as 2 / 4 or 8 channel multiplexed programming system
- Supports sequential programming of 2 / 4 or 8 UUTs (depending on programmer model)
- A single 'ISPnano Series 3' programmer is multiplexed sequentially to up to 8 individual Target Boards (UUTs)
- All programming signals are multiplexed to each UUT using high-quality analogue switches
- All programming signals are fully ESD and over-voltage protected
- All passive / power signals (Target VCC, Target Vpp and EXT-VCC power signals) are switched via individual high-quality relays to each UUT
- Power is always switched off to the target UUT before switching to the next UUT thus providing very long relay contact life
- Each programming channel features its own interchangeable 'I/O Connector Module' with relays and any custom target connectors
- Status indicators include - current channel being programmed and PASS / BUSY / FAIL
- Controllable via a PC using the Equinox EDS, ConsoleEDS or ISP-PRO software utilities
- Channel multiplexer control can be controlled either via the PC or a remote system

Programmer Power Supplies |
|

The ISPnano features the following on-board power supplies: • 1 x Programmable Target Vcc Supply: 1.2 - 5.0V @ 300mA • 1 x Programmable Target Vpp Supply: 5.8 - 13.5V @ 100mA • 1 x External Vcc Voltage Supply (1.2V - 24.0V) switched to Target System
Power Supply features: • Wide power supply input voltage range: 9.0V to 24.0V • Short-circuit protected outputs • Fast rise-time with enhanced current pumping capability to fast charge any capacitance on the Target System. • Each power supply output (Vcc and Vpp) can be user-calibrated to a very accurate "spot voltage" • Switchable Target Discharge Circuit - provides a fast discharge method for any capacitance on the Target System. • Voltage measurement - supports measurement of Target Voltage, Line Driver Voltage and one External Voltage (1.2V - 30.0V) • Current measurement - supports measurement of Target current on switch-on.

Host Control connectivity (Communications Ports) |
|

• 1 x High-speed USB Port (mini-USB connector) • 1 x RS232 Serial Ports • 1 x RS485 IN/OUT port – supports up to 32 programmers on an RS485 network • 4-wire TTL Remote Control Port • Remote Keypad / Display (ideal for standalone control in a Test Fixture)
|
 |
Gang ISP Programming / network programming support |
|

• Gang ISP Programming configuration is ideal for programming multiple PCB's on a 'PCB Panel' • Up to 32 programmers can be controlled from a single PC using the RS485 Bus • Compact size and network option allows up to 32 programmers to be mounted even in small fixtures.
|
 |
Standalone Programming Operation (no PC) |
|
The ISPnano programmer is capable of operating in ‘Standalone Mode’ i.e. without PC Control. In this mode a single 'Programming Project' or a set of 'Chained Projects' can be triggered using an external event. The programmer can be triggered to start a programming sequence using any of the following methods:
• [START] button on front panel • 4-wire TTL Remote control Port (Ideal for ATE Remote Control) • Target 'Load Sensing' Detection • Test Fixture 'Lid Switch Sensing' (closes to start programming) • Remote Keypad / Display mounted on the top of the Test Fixture
