1) Introduction
The Programming Adapter was designed to be added to the QF4A512's Development board for the purpose of
programming bulk volumes 10,000 parts or less of EEPROM. Additional connectors can also be added to the
development board so that parts can also be tested, programs checked etc in the lab and manufacturing floor.
(Note make sure you have downloaded QF software version 4.0.0 Build 0016 or later from our website)

Additional connectors can also be added to the development board so that parts can also be tested, programs checked etc in the lab and manufacturing floor.
  • Page 2 Programming Adapter User’s Guide QF4A512-PA Figure 1 3) Powering the Programming Adapter Board: There are two ways to power the adapter board. 1: Power can be supplied by the development board by soldering a provided 2x8 jack onto the development board same top edge that J5 is located.
  • Page 3 Programming Adapter User’s Guide QF4A512-PA 4) Plugging in the adapter board: See figure 3 for alignment. The QF4A512 programming adapter should be pushed down evenly not at an angle. Note, by adding the 3 additional headers to the development board signals will be brought up to the programming adapter board through J1-J4.
  • Page 4 Programming Adapter User’s Guide QF4A512-PA Step 2: Make sure the power to the socket is “off” this done by pushing SW1 until the red light is OFF. Step 3: Put a QF4A512 into the socket by pushing down evenly on both sides of the socket while making sure to take note of the proper pin alignment of PIN1.
  • Page 5 Programming Adapter User’s Guide QF4A512-PA Step 5: Run Quickfilter software QFPro version 4.0 Build 16 or later version. If installing this newer software, please uninstall the previous version of Quickfilter software first. Step 6: Select “View” from the upper left options, select “Preferences”, check the box advanced features.
  • Page 6 You do not need to remove the 1 Meg resistor, crystal or 18 pF loading capacitors from the development board. Simply apply the external clock source to Test Point TP22. Make sure to tell the Quickfilter software the external clock frequency used when regenerating the QFP file.
  • Page 7 Programming Adapter Kit User’s Guide QF4A512-PA Designer’s note – The allowable input range is 5 MHz to 200 MHz. The clock input on Pin 22 to the phase lock loop is a 1.8 Volt level. Therefore the amplitude of the incoming clock source should be 1.62 to 1.98 Volts Peak to peak. Since the input is AC coupled, a DC offset can exist.
  • Page 8 Programming Adapter Kit User’s Guide QF4A512-PA +5V from USB Can be removed to isolate power when 0.1" Header Can Be Stuffed using external supply. Up to 15V DC on QF4A512DK board to is acceptable, although +5V DC is bring +5V power to the recommended.
