Introduction

The LabTool-848 is a PC's parallel port base gang programmer. It features 8 pcs fully isolated 48 pin ZIF socket, extremely high throughput, standard 5V and 3V chip support, device insertion and continuity check, with PC base design the device update through software give user more flexibly  and quick access to the new chip support. The LabTool-848 supports EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH and 87C5x, 89C5x , and PIC16Cxx microprocessor support.

Universal Adapter for Flash chips

The LabTool-848 is designed to meet your future needs in high density flash chips, it uses the PC's resources to support 128K bit up to Giga bit memory chips in the future without upgrading the hardware. The LabTool-848 also provides 48pin TSOP 44pin PSOP 40pin TSOP and 32pin TSOP universal adapters for all the flash chips which will eliminates the need to buy multiple adapters and will save you lots of money.

Unbeatable speed through semi-concurrent programming technology

The LabTool-848's on board intelligence reduce the system's overhead to a minimum. It can program 8pcs x 8Mb flash chips within 30 seconds (Intel 28F800B3 as example), an experience operator can program thousands of high density chips per day. Further more the LabTool-848 has semi-concurrent programming capability, in the semi-concurrent mode you can divide the 8 socket into two groups (4 sockets each). Programming the first four chips while insert/remove rest of the chips simultaneous to increase the throughput, this feature allow the customer to interface the fine pitch pick and place handler for fine pitch chips In standard mode after all 8pcs inserts to the sockets, the LabTool-848 will start program the chip automatically.

Fully isolated ZIF socket

The LabTool-848 has fully isolated circuit (> 1 M ohm) to each socket's address/ data bus/control lines, power supply and programming voltage, each socket has its build-in Vcc and Vpp current limit circuitry. A defective device will not affect the programming integrity of other devices remaining in the socket.

Devices insertion and continuity checks-No mistakes!

The LabTool-848 performs device insertion and continuity checking before program each device. It can detect poor pin contact and device insertion upside down, wrong position, pin number mismatch. This function protects your pocketbook by preventing expensive chip damage due to operator's mistake.

Auto-sensing and self programming

The LabTool-848 has implemented patented technology in design, after the chips insert into the ZIF sockets. The LabTool-848 will check if the chips are inserted properly, it has a adjustable time. If the poor insertion is not corrected by the operator within the time period, the LabTool-848 will shutdown the poor contact socket and program the rest of chips automatically without any key touch.

Target quantity and maximum failure rate alarm

The LabTool-848 software has the capability that allow user to set the target quantity chip he intends to program and set the maximum failure rate he can accept. After enable this option in software. Once the failure rate exceed on the accumulated programming chip reach the target, the software will generated warning message in the screen. Customer can take further action

Independent modules design

The LabTool-848 is designed to have minimum down time. The 8 sockets that are divided into 4 independent modules, each module has two sockets and it is identical to rest modules, if any of the modules  failures customer still can operate rest of sockets without sacrificing from the turn around time of repair.

Project file "Save and Load"

You can save a project file which contains the device selection, buffer data and all programming setup options, this file can be recalled at any time for future use without go through the setting up procedure again, your design file can easily pass to production department without mistake.

Variable VCC with one or two-pass verification

The LabTool-848 lets you select the verify voltage after programmed the chips, e.g.,Vcc +/- 5%, Vcc+/- 10% . Vcc voltage can be from 2V to 7.5V This feature ensures chips have been programmed properly without worry data retention.
