EPROM+
EProm Programmer

The EPROM+ programming system is a full featured, easy-to-use, yet economical solution to most EPROM and device programming requirements. The system, with its portable programming unit and full screen software, serves a wide variety of programming needs for both product support and development. The programming unit connects to a standard parallel printer port on any IBM or compatible desktop, laptop or notebook computer. It does not require an internal card. The basic system supports all standard memory devices from the first generation EPROMs (like the 2708 and TMS2716) through the latest high density 8 and16 meg parts plus all FLASH, EEPROM, PEROM and NVRAMs. The "+" in EPROM+ means the system is not limited to only EPROMs. You may add support for additional technology families such as microcontrollers, bipolar proms and more with optional "snap-in" adapters. The EPROM+ is a system for more than just engineers. We have given careful consideration to the needs of a variety of users. This means that whether you are a novice who is just beginning to work with EPROMs or a professional who needs a rich set of engineering features, the EPROM+ is designed to suit both needs. A novice or non-technical user will find a straight forward, easy-to-use group of software commands. Operations such as "copy device" or "save device to disk file" makes the system a favorite of businesses and service shops which have to work with chips but do not have a full-time engineer. Engineers and technicians will appreciate the powerful full-screen editor which provides a virtual tool-kit of bit, byte and word manipulation commands. With the ability to work in either byte or word modes, the editor has more than 20+ commands for detailed manipulation of both buffer data and the device contents.

Specifically designed for both bench and field use

The EPROM+ is specifically designed for two environments. On your bench the system conveniently serves as a dedicated programming instrument. For field service or when not in use, the power-pack and printer port cable store neatly inside the case. This makes the EPROM+ ideal for service engineers and technicans who must maintain equipment in the field. Unlike a typical "flat box" programming unit, the rugged case latches shut protecting the device socket from damage and contamination. It also provides convenient storage for system accessories plus any disks and devices you may need. The complete EPROM+ weighs just 3 pounds and provides a truly portable environment for field service professionals.

The EPROM+ is fast!

The EPROM+ is designed for maximum programming speed. The system will program a standard 27256 eprom in less than 10 seconds using a 486, 50MHZ machine. A typical 1 meg device can be programmed in less than 18 seconds. Even high capacity devices such as 4, 8 and 16 meg parts program in a very short time.

The EPROM+ - A cost effective solution

An important design goal in creating the EPROM+ was to provide a standard system which addresses most common programmable device needs. Our experience indicates that most people who work with programmable devices are working with memory chips, and do not need to program thousands of different parts. They are primarily interested in the parts used in the equipment they design, maintain, service or repair. They are looking for a system which will allow them to support all standard parts, but not limit them should their needs change. As the name implies, the EPROM+ is not limited to only memory devices. The system is fully capable of supporting additional technology families such as microcontrollers, bipolar proms and more by using snap in adapters. By utilizing adapters, you only purchase support for the parts you use. You do not pay for device support you will never need.

The EPROM+ provides a base system which supports all standard memory devices yet allows a variety of non-standard technology families to be added if the need arises. With this approach, your overall system cost remains low, while guaranteeing a solution which directly addresses your needs.
