Phyton ChipProg-G41 - Universal 4-channel Gang Programmer for Manufacturing |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The Phyton ChipProg-G41 is powerful 4-channel production gang programmer suitable for medium to high volume off-board production programming. It features 4 x independent programming modules allowing it to program 4 ICs simulataneously. The 4 x high-quality 48-pin ZIF sockets support insertion of any DIL device up to 48 pins. A range of Socket Adaptors is available to suit most other package types.
The ChipProg-G41 programmer is based on 4 x Phyton ChipProg-48 programmers working concurrently and so provides very fast programming. It supports parallel & serial EPROM & EEPROM; microcontrollers, and PAL/PALCE/GAL/PEEL/PLD devices.
The ChipProg-G41 programmer is controlled via a single USB port to a PC. The powerful PC software supports sequencing of all 4 programming sites. |

4-channel gang programming |
|
|
The ChipProg-G41 programmer features 4 completely independent 'Programming Modules' which are networked back to a controlling PC via a high-speed USB link. This allows the G4 to program 4 devices simultaneouly with either the same or different data. It also means that there is loading between the channels and a problem with an IC on one channel will not affect a device on another channel.
- Completely independent Programming Module per channel
- All power, Vpp and signal connections are independent per channel
- Independent PASS / BUSY / FAIL indicators per channel
- A 'START' switch on each channel can be used to manually start a selected channel.
- If one IC fails to program, this does not affect the other programming channels
- In case of a problem, a complete channel can be swapped out with a new Programming Module.

48-pin ZIF Socket |
|
|
The ChipProg-G41 programmer features a 48-pin DIL (Dual-In-Line) ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket with 48 independent pin-drivers. The 48-pin ZIF socket allows the programmer to support many more devices than the more traditional 40-pin programmers on the market including high-density FLASH and EEPROM Memory devices which are common in 48-pin TSOP packages. Many of the more recent high-integration microcontrollers also require more than 40pins for programming. A suitable Package Adaptor is required to convert the package of the target chip to the DIL equivalent.
