Universal device programmer Conitec GALEP-4
Conitec's GALEP-4 is a universal device programmer of pocket-sized dimension.
Detailed Description
The programmer supports EPROMs, EEPROMs, FLASH EPROMs, serial EEPROMs, Microcontrollers, GALs and PALCEs, handling up to DIP40 devices without requiring any additional adapters or circuitry. It's connected to the PC through the parallel printer port. For even more performance a version with 48 pin drivers and USB2 port is available (GALEP-5).
By using a highly integrated FPGA, GALEP's internal logic is freely programmable and automatically optimized for the selected component. This way all components can be both written and read at optimal speed.
Prior to each function, GALEP-4 checks the electric selected device's electric consumption, as well as the correct positioning of the selected component. This reduces the risk of accidentally harming the component or the programmer to a minimum.
The GALEP-4 features a truly universal pin driver design. In contrast to such high end programmers as HILO's EMP-11, which only features a few universal pin drivers, the Galep-4 carries a separate universal pin-driver for each of the 40 socket pins. Therefore GALEP-4's pin driver design corresponds to that usually found in far more expensive programmers.
Low-Voltage GALEP-4 pin drivers feature true level-shifters and comparators, guaranteeing clean signals right down to 1.3 volts. The Galep-4 comparators allow measurement of the voltage on any of the 40 pins within a range of 0 to 25 volts with a precision of 100 mV. This can be used to precisely determine high and low levels at the component's output pins. GALEP-4 consequently requires far fewer socket adapters than other high end programmers such as the ALL-11C/P.
