Dataman-48Pro

Introduction

Dataman-48Pro is the first member of a new USB-compatible
generation of Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP based
universal programmers. It is built to meet the demands of the
development community for a fast, reliable, and versatile
programmer.
Dataman-48Pro supports the silicon technologies of today
and tomorrow for programmable devices without family-specific
modules. Using the built-in in-circuit serial programming (ISP)
connector, the programmer is able to program in-circuit.
Dataman-48Pro isn't only a programmer, but also a tester of
TTL/CMOS logic ICs and memories. Furthermore, it allows
generating user-definable test pattern sequences.
Dataman-48Pro provides a very competitive price and
excellent hardware design for reliable programming. It is the
most cost effective programmer in its class.
Dataman-48Pro provides very fast programming due to
high-speed FPGA driven hardware and execution of time-
critical routines inside the programmer.
Dataman-48Pro interfaces with the IBM PC Pentium
compatible or higher, portable or desktop personal computers
through USB (2.0) port or any standard parallel (printer) port.
Programmer also supports IEEE1284 (ECP/EPP) high-speed
parallel port. Support of USB/LPT port connection gives you
choice to connect the Dataman-48Pro programmer to any PC,
from latest notebook to an older desktop without USB port.
Dataman-48Pro has a FPGA based, totally reconfigurable, 48
powerful TTL pindrivers. They provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down
and read capability for each pin on the socket. Advanced
pindrivers incorporate high-quality and 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.
Dataman-48Pro performs a device insertion test (wrong or
backward position) and a contact check (poor contact pin-to-
socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities,
supported by overcurrent protection and signature-byte
check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
Built-in protection circuits eliminate damage of programmer
and/or programmed device due environment or operator
