Universal device programmer And IC Tester, PC with USB 2.0, built-in AC (110-240) Power Supply, 48-pin ZIF socket, Auto key, Made in USA ( 6 lbs). TopMax/ChipMax/ChipMax2/TopMaxII/UniMax/ProMax-8G /4G are software driven device programmers that support a wide variety of programmable devices including: EPROM, EEPROM, Serial PROM, EPLD, PEEL, GAL, FPGA, and single chip Microcontroller. TopMax/ChipMax easily connects to the parallel printer port of any IBM PC, and can operate with a full spectrum of IBM compatibles: PC 386, 486, Pentium, PS/2, portable (laptop), and clone computers. TopMaxII/UniMax/ProMax-8G (4G) connects to the USB(2.0) port of any IBM PC, and can operate with a full spectrum of IBM compatibles. The great advantage of a programmer is their programming speed and superior software. All programmers are controlled via a host IBM PC or compatible computer. The operating software has a user-friendly interface that includes window pull-down menus and virtual memory management to deal with very large files.
TopMaxII is a high-speed universal device programmer for USB 2.0 PC-interface. It programs 64Mbit flash memory in 42 seconds. This is a true low-price production oriented system. The TopMaxII supports the latest device technologies, regardless of package type. This includes PROMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, Flash Memory, FPGA, PAL, GAL, FPGA, and Microcontrollers. Optional socket adapters can be provided by manufacturers of various adapters, including PLCC, LCC, TSOP, PSOP, SOP, QFP, TQFP, uBGA, FBGA, QFP, TQFP, etc.
TopMaxII is designed for both Engineering environment and production applications. You can choose to use one programming system for design and daisy-chain up to 8 programmers (for gang programming in production).
The TopMaxII makes your operation more efficient. As many as eight TopMaxIIprogrammers can be daisy-chained together, controlled by a high-speed true USB 2.0 port in PC with no loss of programming speed, reliability or performance. Each programming site is completely independent of the rest. With independent programming sites, a faulty site can be removed and programming can be continued. Each site is an independent universal programmer, and the system will completely program the first device by the time the operator has inserted the last device.
