DESCRIPTION

The ST62 gang programmers are designed for

programming up to 10 EPROM or OTP devices. It

can run either in standalone or remote mode un-

der control of a Windows compatible PC.

In standalone mode, the target ST62 MCUs are

programmed with a simple key operation directly

from a master EPROM memory or from a master

EPROM MCU. Two color LEDs indicate for each

target device the operational pass or fail. Both

VERIFY and BLANK CHECK functions are pro-

vided.

In Remote mode, the gang programmer is con-

nected to a PC through an RS232 serial channel.

Object code in either S19 or INTEL HEX format is

read from disk files to program the target devices.

The Windows software also offers VERIFY,

BLANK CHECK, READ master and other utility

functions. The software allows various user friend-

ly facilities, such as re-instating the same pro-

gramming session, user selectable programming

steps.

The gang programmer is made up of a two parts, a

base unit common to all ST62XX devices and a

dedicated package adaptator.
