Galvanic isolation of programming and power signals |
|
|
The ISPnano Series III ATE features an in-built 'Relay Switching Card' which allows the programmer to automatically switch all ISP I/O signal and power lines from the Target System either to the programmer Line Driver Circuitry or to an external ATE or ICT system.
• Each ISP signal I/O line is independently switched via a high quality gold-plated signal relay
• All power lines (Target Vcc, Target Vpp and GROUND) are independently switched via relays.
• The ATE / ICT is routed to the Target system by default and the programmer is completely isolated.
• When a programming operation starts, the Target System ISP I/O and power signals are automatically switched to the programmer and the ATE / ICT is then completely isolated from the programmer.
• At the end of a programming operation, the Target System is automatically re-connected to the ATE / ICT.

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
