PIKprog+

Microchip^TM PICmicro^® series microcontrollers programmer

Preliminary specification.

Available accessories:

• socket converters DIL/SOIC
• socket converters DIL/PLCC

Features

GENERAL

• PIKprog+ is a member of the new generation of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP based ELNEC specialized programmers. Programmer is capable to support all currently available Microchip^TM PICmicro^® series microcontrollers (8-40 pins) using parallel and serial algorithms. The PIKprog+ programmer isn't development grade programmer, but meets all Microchip's requirements to manufacturing grade of programmers. The PIKprog+ has been developed in close cooperation with Microchip^TM company, therefore programmer's hardware is focused to support all current and future PICmicro^® family microcontrollers.
• PIKprog+ is a small, very fast and powerful portable programmer for PICmicro^® family microcontrollers and serial EEPROM with IIC (24Cxx), Microwire (93Cxx) and SPI (25Cxx) interface types. Using build-in in-circuit serial programming (ISP) connector programmer is able to program PICmicro^® family microcontrollers using serial algorithms.
• Provides very competitive price but excellent hardware design for reliable programming. Nice "value for money" in this class.
• Very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware and support of IEEE1284 (ECP/EPP) high-speed parallel port. Surely faster than competitors in this category.
• PIKprog+ interfaces with the IBM PC, AT or above, portable or desktop personal computers through any standard parallel (printer) port (no special interface card needed). Therefore you can take programmer and move it to another PC without assembly/disassembly of PC.

  HARDWARE

• 40 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.
• The programmer performs device insertion test (wrong device position in socket) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities, supported by signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
• PIKprog+ programmer performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.
• Various socket converters are available to handle device in PLCC, SOIC and other packages.

  SOFTWARE

• Programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down menus, hot keys and on-line help. Selecting of device is performed by its class, by manufacturer or simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number.
• Standard device-related commands (read, blank check, program, verify, erase) are enhanced by some test functions (insertion test, signature-byte check), and some special functions (autoincrement ).
• All known data formats are supported. Automatic file format detection and conversion during load of file.
• The rich-featured autoincrement function enables to assign individual serial numbers to each programmed device - or simply increments a serial number, or the function enables to read serial numbers or any programmed device identification signatures from a file.

  CARE FOR THE CUSTOMERS

• It is important to remember that support of new devices with compatible GND/VCC/VPP pinout requires only a software update due to the PIKprog+ hardware. With our prompt service you can have a new device added to the list of supported devices within hours! Free software updates are available by download from our WEB site.
• Keep-Current and AlgOR services, our next step to be customers satisfied.
  • Keep-Current service means, that ELNEC send off the latest version of programmer software and updated user documentation (Keep-Current package) to customer . A Keep-Current service is your hassle-free guarantee that you are doing the highest quality programming on ELNEC programmers, at minimal cost.
  • AlgOR (Algorithm On Request) service gives to the user tool to influence to amount and types of programmed devices as needed.
