Operating with Programmers
Inserting devices to a programming socket
Auto-detecting the device
The topics included in this chapter briefly describe basic operations with the ChipProg programmers.
Inserting devices in DIP (dual-in-line) packages.
The -40, ChipProg-48 and ChipProg-G4 programmers are equipped with 40- or 48-pin ZIF sockets
allowing operating on any DIP-packed devices without additional adapters. They can accommodate
DIP-packed devices with different number of leads (from 4 to 48) and different widths of the package up
to 600 mil. Just a few old DIP-packed devices require special adapters to be programmed by ChipProg
Device Information
displays the adapter type. The pictogram showing a correct insertion position of the device is on the
programmer at the left of the socket as well as in the
DIP-packed devices can be inserted in the way shown on the pictogram. However, there are a few old
devices with a non-standard insertion positioning. If such a device is chosen the
window displays how to insert the device.
Inserting devices in non-DIP packages.
Programming of the devices in SOIC, PLCC, QFP, BGA and other non-DIP packages requires special
adapters. The adapters design allows plugging them into the programmer ZIF sockets. The
Information
Any adapter is implemented as a small transition board with two rows of dual-in-line pins pluggable
into the programmer ZIF socket on a bottom side and a ZIF socket of a particular type (SOIC, PLCC,
QFP, BGA, etc.) on a top. The adapter transition board is labeled with a "#1 pin" key mark that helps
to properly position the adapter into the programmer socket. The
displays the adapter position into the programmer ZIF socket.
If you checked the AutoDetect checkbox on the main window toolbar then a ChipProg programmer
will automatically detect insertion of the device into a programming socket and will check if the
device's leads are reliably squeezed by the socket contacts. In case of the bad contact with any
single lead the programmer blocks further operations and issues a warning that indicates the pin
numbers with bad contacts. This prevents destroying the device or incorrect programming.
The AutoDetect signal can be used for triggering a programming operation by checking the Auto-
Detect presence of device in the socket box in the
window. One of the following options can be set here:
At this point the AutoDetect trigger replaces the programmer command executed by a mouse click or
pressing the Start button. This significantly speeds up and simplifies programming of the device
series.
