Please do not operate the chip that has been soldered on the circuit board through the connection method on the locking seat. The peripheral circuit on the board will cause the operation to fail, and the programmer will be damaged in severe cases.

Sofei Technology SP8 series programmer Wait for the chip to be removed illustrate ⚫ Production mode is only available forSP8-B / SP8-F / SP8-FX.SP8-AThe mass production burning function is not supported. ⚫ The above operations are just to demonstrate the conventional programming method of general chips, for reference only. The specific operation needs to be determined according to the user's needs.
Sofei Technology SP8 series programmer Chapter 4 Offline Programming SP8-F,SP8-FXSupport offline programming, in the offline mode, the programmer does not need to connect to the computer. Programmer built-in128MbitData storage, no additional storage device required. The offline function has the characteristics of simple use and high burning efficiency. When the programmer works in the offline mode, it will automatically detect the chip placement, start the programming work, and prompt the programming result through the status indicator and built-in buzzer.
Sofei Technology SP8 series programmer run offline Manual way ‒ The offline operation steps of the programmer are as follows: 1.Power the programmer with the power adapter that came with the product. 2.After the programmer is powered on, the internal offline data will be checked first to verify the integrity and accuracy of the data.

Sofei Technology SP8 series programmer ISPPower Mode ISPDuring programming, the target chip has two power supply modes to choose from. power supply mode can beFlyPROset in the operating options of the software. ⚫ powered by programmer That is, the programmer provides voltage to the target board, and the power supply voltage is3.3Vor5V(existFlyPROset in the operating options of the software). In this mode, if the programmer detects that the target board power supply already exists, it will give a power supply conflict error message.
