(CMM7)

PAL / GAL PROGRAMMER TRAINER

This trainer comprises a complete system for the training of Programmable Logic Devices (PLD).  It feature a universal intelligent programmer, PC computer, interface, and software with numerous drivers for many brands of PLDs and also a textbook with exercises.  Assortments of PLDs are also provided for experimentation.

The Programmer is a universal device programmer, which works through the PC's parallel port. It features a 48-pin universal pin driver and an expandable TTL pin driver. An onboard processor and FPGA let it handle today's (and tomorrow's) complicated DIP-type silicon PLDs, microprocessors and high density memory chips without adapters.

The unit has been designed for both laboratory and mass-production applications. It supports over 1200 different devices, including PAL, GAL, CPAL, EPLD, PEEL, MAX, MACH, PLSI, microprocessors, EPROM, series EPROM, PROM and Flash memory. Optional ROM emulator modules support devices up to 16-bits.

Universal pin driver-True universal programming.

MOSFET logic controls the programmer's pin switches, so each pin can supply Vcc, Vpp or ground. Pins can also be configured for TTL high/low levels with pull-high/pull-low, high-speed clock and tri-state. This advanced pin design lets you program any DIP device up to 48 pins without an adapter. It also ensures support for the full range of silicon technologies on the market-today and tomorrow.

Unbeatable Programming Speed

The Programmers on-board intelligence, SRAM and FPGA reduce the system overhead to a minimum.  The unit can program an 8-Mbit EPROM in less than 100 seconds.  (The actual throughput depends slightly on the processing power of the PC; the above time was with a 486DX2-66 processor).  The programmer uses the Labtool 48 software, which is easy to use, extremely fast and very comprehensive.
