Dataman 448Pro - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction
Dataman-448Pro is fast universal 4x 48-pindrive concurrent multiprogramming
system designed for high volume production programming with minimal operator effort.
The chips are programmed at near theoretical maximum programming speed.
Dataman-448Pro supports the silicon technologies of today and tomorrow for
programmable devices without family-specific module. You can be sure the next
devices support require the software update and (if necessary) simple package
converter (programming adapter), therefore the ownership cost are minimized.
Dataman-448Pro provides very competitive price coupled with excellent hardware
design for reliable programming. It is the most cost effective programmer in its class.
Dataman-448Pro consists of four independent isolated universal programming
modules, based on the Dataman-48Pro programmer hardware. Therefore the sockets
can run asynchronously (concurrent programming mode). Each programming module
starts programming as soon as the new chip is correctly inserted to the ZIF of
programming module. It result three programming modules works while you replace the
programmed chip at the fourth. The operator merely removes the finished chip and
inserts a new chip. Operator training is therefore minimized.
Modular construction of hardware - the programming modules works independently -
allows for continuing operation when a part of the circuit becomes inoperable. It also
makes service quick and easy.
Dataman-448Pro interfaces with the IBM PC/compatible, portable or desktop personal
computers through USB (2.0) port.
Dataman-448Pro provides very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven
hardware and execution of time-critical routines inside of the programmer. FPGA based
totally reconfigurable 48 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.
Dataman-448Pro performs on each programming module device insertion test (wrong
or backward position) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs
each device. These capabilities, supported by overcurrent protection and signature-byte
check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
Dataman-448Pro has a built-in protection circuits for eliminate damage of programmer
and/or programmed device due to environment or operator failure. All ZIF socket pins of
Dataman-448Pro programmer are protected against ESD up to 15kV.
