The EPROM+
programming system is a full
featured, easy-to-use, yet economical solution to
most EPROM/EEPROM and device programming requirements.
The system, with its portable programming unit
and
bootable software (CD or
user created USB stick),
serves a wide variety of programming needs for
both product support and development. Unlike many
of todays products, the EPROM+ system is time
proven. Where other products have been
discontinued or abandoned, the EPROM+ system, from its inception, was
designed for
extremely long service
life (

customer comment). The programming unit and
software are compatible with any host machine
with an X86 processor. This includes the latest
multi-core processors or an aging legacy platform.
Simply
connect, boot and go. Since the system works with or without Windows,
there is no need to worry about versions or
service packs, and you never need to search for
drivers. The programming system is always ready
to go on any available machine. Designed with
careful consideration for the needs of a variety
of users, the EPROM+ system is equally at home in
a field service environment or on a technicians
bench. This means that whether you are a novice
who is just beginning to work with memory (eprom/eeprom) parts or a
professional who requires a rich set of
engineering features, the EPROM+ is designed to
accomodate your needs. A novice or non-technical
user will find a straight forward, easy-to-use
group of software commands. Operations such as
"
copy device" or
"
save device to disk file"
makes the system a favorite of businesses and
service shops which do not need the complexity of
an expensive laboratory unit. If viewing and
editing the contents of a device is necessary,
the user will appreciate the powerful editor
which provides a virtual tool-kit of bit, byte
and word manipulation commands.
Portable convenience, organized
storage plus outstanding performance
On your bench the system conveniently
serves as a dedicated programming instrument. For
field service or when not in use, the power-pack
and connecting cable store neatly inside the
case. This makes the EPROM+ ideal for service
engineers and technicans who must maintain
equipment in the field. Unlike a typical
"flat box" programming unit, the rugged
case latches shut protecting the device socket
from damage and contamination. It also provides
convenient storage for system accessories plus
any disks and devices you may need. The complete
EPROM+ weighs just 3 pounds and provides a truly
portable environment for field service
professionals.
The EPROM+ is fast! Designed for maximum speed, the system will
program most standard eproms in less than 10
seconds. Even high capacity
devices such as 4, 8, 16 and 32 meg parts program
in a very short time.
Broad
device support spans
four decades (Late
1970's to current technology)
The basic system, unlike other products, offers a
broad historical range of device support.
Beginning with parts from the late 1970's, the
instrument supports all standard memory devices
from the first generation EPROMs (like the
2708 and
TMS2716) through the latest
high density 16 and 32 meg parts plus all FLASH,
EEPROM, PEROM and NVRAMs. The
"+" in EPROM+ means the system is not limited to only
EPROMs. You may add support for additional
technology families such as microcontrollers,
bipolar proms and more with optional
"snap-in" adapters. The system supports all standard
packages including 8 pin through 42 pin DIP plus
PLCC, TSOP and SOIC surface mount devices.
The
EPROM+ - A cost effective solution
An important design goal in creating the EPROM+ was to provide a standard system which addresses most common programmable device needs. Our experience indicates that most people who work with programmable devices are working with memory chips, and do not need to program thousands of different parts. They are primarily interested in the parts used in the equipment they design, maintain, service or repair. They are looking for a system which will allow them to support all standard parts, but not limit them should their needs change. As the name implies, the EPROM+ is not limited to only memory devices. The system is fully capable of supporting additional technology families such as microcontrollers, bipolar proms and more by using "snap in" adapters. By utilizing adapters, you only purchase support for the parts you use. If your needs change in the future, you need only purchase an adapter for your existing programming instrument, not an entirely new programmer. With the EPROM+ approach you match the programming package to your needs; you do not pay for device support you will never use and your programming unit
does not become obsolete.
