Quick Start 7


1) Select the chip type to be programmed.

Use the Hot keys “ALT-C”, then type the complete part number of the chips to be programmed; or use the mouse to select the correct part number.

2) Load the design file into the buffer.

Use the Hot keys “ALT-L”, and then specify the file name file, directory details and click on OK.

3) Alternatively, you can read a master chip into the buffer instead of a design file.

The default master socket is socket 0. By putting a chip into socket 0 and performing the Read operation (Hot keys ALT-R), you can transfer the chip’s contents into the buffer.

You can also select any other socket as the master socket. Go to the main menu, select the module options

(Hot key F5), and then select the master socket. Insert a master chip into the master socket, and carry out a

Read function.

4) Insert 8 chips of the same type into the 8 ZIF sockets, set the device operation option (Hot key F4), and then carry out Program function (Hot keys ALT-P). This will now program the 8 chips simultaneously.

5) To increase throughput, a user can change the mode to

Mass production mode (Hot Keys Alt-M). After entering this mode, the DATAMAN-848 will program chips automatically after they are properly inserted into the sockets. DATAMAN-848 has both a standard mass production mode and a concurrent mass production mode. Standard mode allows the DATAMAN-848 to program 8 devices at the same time. Concurrent mode divides the 8 sockets into two groups, group 1 comprised of sockets 0-3 and group 2 comprised of sockets 4-7. The chips of group 1 will be programmed

8 Quick Start


when the chips are being inserted or unloaded from group2. After the programming of chips in group1 are finished, the DATAMAN-848 will automatically program the chips of group2.

A user can enable the insertion timer and adjust the timer. Enabling the timer will allow DATAMAN-848 to automatically shutdown a socket with poor contact upon timeout of a user-set timer period. DATAMAN-848 then automatically programs the chips in the remaining good sockets. The insertion timer default setting is 5 seconds. When the insertion timer is disabled, the user will have to either correct the insertion error or press the ignore key to continue programming after a socket with poor contacts is discovered.

6) DATAMAN-848 also automatically keeps a running total of all chips that have been programmed and all chips that have failed to program. A user can input a target quantity of chips to be programmed and an allowable number of programming failures. An alarm message option provides a message to the screen alerting the user to either the target quantity of chips being reached, or the allowable number of failures have been reached.

7) For a detailed explanation of the device operation options, please refer to Chapters 3 and 4.

General Information


10 General Information


Introduction

The DATAMAN-848 is a PC-based gang programmer that works through your PC's parallel port. It features eight fully isolated 48-pin ZIF sockets, extremely high throughput, standard 5 V and 3 V chip support, production piece counts, and device insertion and continuity checks, all within a PC-based design. Device updates are available through new software releases, giving our customers quicker and more flexible access to new chip support.

DATAMAN-848 future software updates in EPROM,

EEPROM, and FLASH technology will include 87C5x,

89C5x, and PIC16Cxx microprocessor support. The

DATAMAN-848 was designed with flexibility in mind. If a customer has special chips that are not in our standard support list, we can provide special programs that will allow the DATAMAN-848 to perform as a customized special production gang programmer.

Features

Universal adapter for Flash chips

The DATAMAN-848 is designed to meet your future needs in high density Flash chips. Using the resources of your

PC, it supports 32 K bit up to 256-M bit memory chips without upgrading its hardware. The DATAMAN-848 also has a universal adaptor that accommodates 48 pin TSOP,

44 pin PSOP, 40 pin TSOP and 32 pin TSOP Flash chips, which eliminates the need to buy multiple adapters and saves you money.

Unbeatable speed through semi-concurrent programming technology

The DATAMAN-848's on-board intelligence reduces system overhead to a minimum. It can program eight

Flash chips of 8 Mb capacity (such as Intel 28F800B3, for example) within 45 seconds. An experienced programmer

Introduction 11


can program thousands of high-density chips per day.

Furthermore, the DATAMAN-848 supports two programming modes. In standard programming mode, the

DATAMAN-848 automatically programs all eight chips after all eight pieces have been inserted into the sockets. In semi-concurrent programming mode, a user can divide the

8 sockets into two groups (of 4 sockets each). By using the technique of programming 4 chips while simultaneously removing and inserting the other 4 chips, a customer can increase throughput. This also allows interface with the fine pitch pick and place handler for high-density fine pitch chips.

Statistic Functions

The DATAMAN-848 automatically keeps a running total of all production pieces attempted and all production pieces failed. Users can input a target quantity of chips to be programmed and an allowable number of failures. An alarm function can be enabled to send a message to the screen alerting the user to either the target quantity of chips being reached, or the allowable number of failures being reached.

Fully isolated ZIF sockets

The DATAMAN-848 has fully isolated (> 1 M ohms) circuits for each socket's address/data bus/control lines. Each socket has its own built-in Vcc and Vpp current-limiting circuitry. A defective device in one socket will not affect the devices in or programming integrity of the remaining sockets.

Device-insertion and continuity checks - No mistakes!

The DATAMAN-848 performs device-insertion and continuity checks before programming each device. It can detect poor pin contact, upside-down device insertion, incorrect position, and pin number mismatch. This function

12 Introduction


protects your wallet by preventing expensive chip damage caused by operator error.

Auto-sensing and self-programming

The DATAMAN-848 has implemented patented technology to meet mass-production requirements. When a chip fails the device insertion check, the DATAMAN-848 waits for an operator adjustable time. If the operator fails to correct the improper insertion within the selected time period, the socket with the improper insertion is shutdown and the other chips are automatically programmed.

Independent module design

The DATAMAN-848 is designed to achieve a minimum of down time. Its 8 sockets are divided into 4 identical modules having two sockets each. Each module is independent of the other three modules. If one module fails, the customer can continue to operate the other three modules without sacrificing the turnaround time to repair.

Extra modules are available to customers in spare kits.

Project file "Save and Load"

You can save the program configuration project file that contains the device selection, the buffer data and all of the program setup options. This file can be recalled at any time for future use without having to go through the setup procedure again. This allows you to pass your design file to the production department without mistakes. You can also read the data from a device into the buffer from any of the 8 sockets, according to your specification.

Variable VCC with one or two-pass verification

The DATAMAN-848 allows users to select the verification voltage after chip programming is completed, e.g., VCC +/-

5%, VCC +/- 10%. VCC can range from 2 V to 7.5 V.

Verification ensures that the chips have been properly programmed, with no data retention problems.

Mass-production Mode

Menu

Hot-key

Device | Mass Produce

Alt-M

The DATAMAN-848 is a mass-production programmer for manufacturing. When placed in mass production mode, all keyboard and mouse functions are disabled and the operator needs only to insert the chips into the ZIF sockets, wait until the green LED next to each socket lights up, remove the programmed chips and insert new chips.

Anyone can do the job well without special training or skills. Since all keyboard and mouse functions are disabled, the possibility of errors being caused by pressing the wrong keys or changing the buffer's contents are eliminated.

In mass production mode, the DATAMAN-848 first performs an insertion test and an ID check on newly inserted chips. It then automatically programs the chip. In mass production, the DATAMAN-848 can be set to either of two modes: standard mode or concurrent mode. In

Operation 31


standard mode, DATAMAN-848 programs the devices in all 8 ZIF sockets at one time. In concurrent mode, on the other hand, the sockets are divided into two groups.

Sockets 0-3 comprise group1 and sockets 4-7 comprise group 2. During operation under concurrent mode, group 1 devices are being programmed while the operator unloads and inserts chips in the group 2 sockets.

Note: The insertion test must be enabled to use massproduction mode!

Figure 4.2 Standard mass production mode screen

32

Figure 4.3 Concurrent mass production mode screen

Operation


An insertion timer is included for use with the insertion test.

When a chip fails an insertion test and the insertion timer is disabled, the DATAMAN-848 will alert the operator to the failure and require either that the problem be corrected or that the operator acknowledge the failure before continuing with programming. When a chip fails and the insertion timer is enabled, the DATAMAN-848 waits the amount of time set into the insertion timer. This is to give the operator time to correct the error. If the error is not corrected in time, the error socket shuts down and all the devices in good sockets are programmed. The insertion timer default time is 5 seconds.

Editing the Buffer

Menu

Hot-key

Device | Edit

Alt-E

This function is used to edit the memory buffer. The memory buffer contains the last file downloaded from disk into memory. If no file has been downloaded from disk into memory since the DATAMAN-848 was switched on, the memory buffer will contain "garbage".

The screen that is displayed is dependent on the type of device that is currently active.

The purposes of the buttons displayed are as follows:

Radix

This button controls the display of the memory address in

Hex/decimal format. If the address is currently displayed in decimal format, clicking this button will convert and display the address in Hex.

Fill

This option is used to fill a block of memory with a specified value. It needs the starting address, the ending address and the value to be copied into this block of memory.

Operation 33


Copy

This function copies a block in memory to a new address.

It requires the starting address, the ending address and the address the block must be copied to.

Search

This function searches for a specified "search-string". It requires input of the search-string to search for.

Undo

As you make changes to the memory buffer, the changes on the current page are highlighted. If you choose this option, it will reverse all changes made to the highlighted areas.

As soon as the changed memory positions move off the screen, or get deselected by another command, the Undo command will not undo the changes.

Blank Checking a device

Menu

Hot-key

Device | Blank Check

This function allows a user to modify the programming parameters of the chips being programmed. With the programming parameters for the

Figure 4-7 Example screen: Modify algorithm parameters

selected chip appearing on screen, the user activates the

"modify algorithm screen" and changes the parameters by moving the cursor to the corresponding field and changing the value to the desired value. If a value entered exceeds the allowable limits for a given parameter, a warning will be flashed, together with allowable limits, after the user attempts to confirm the setting by pressing "OK".

Warning: Only experienced users should use this option, as it can damage the device if it is used incorrectly.

If you want to program a device that is not supported by the DATAMAN-848, do the following:

1. Select a device that uses the same programming algorithm as the device in question.

38 Operation


2. Modify the device programming parameters.

3. Program the device.

As the programming parameters are for temporary use only, they cannot be saved. After you select a new device or exit the DATAMAN-848 software the original parameters will automatically be restored.

Figure 4-8 Example screen: Device-specific operation options

The following options can be set:

Start address, End address

This is the start and the end address of the edit buffer. If you want to program a certain area of a device, you can change the start and end addresses accordingly.

Operation 39


This option is only displayed when the device can be programmed in this way.

When the end address is calculated, it divides the buffer size by (device-bits/8-bits). A 16 bit device, of which the buffer size is 80 (Hex), will therefore have an end address of 3F.

When selecting a start or an end-address, you should align the buffer on the right boundary: single-word for 8-bit devices, double-word for 16-bit devices, etc.

Erase start/end address

This option is for electronically erasable Flash chips only.

The default setting of this option will erase the entire chip.

However, a user can specify ranges of blocks to be erased; data in the remaining blocks will be unchanged. A user should reference the chip data book or configuration menu when setting the ranges of blocks to be erased.

Insertion Timer Enable/Disable

When the insertion timer is disabled and an error is detected during insertion testing, the DATAMAN-848 waits for the operator to either correct the error condition or to acknowledge and bypass the error.

When the insertion timer is enabled, the DATAMAN-848 waits a specified period for the operator to correct the condition, and if no correction is made, shuts down the socket(s) reporting the error and completes programming of the remaining sockets.

Insertion Timer

This option sets the time-out interval for the insertion test.

When the insertion timer is enabled and an insertion error is detected, if the operator fails to correct the problem within the interval set, the DATAMAN-848 will automatically shutdown the error socket and complete programming of the remaining sockets. If multiple errors

40 Operation


exist in different sockets and the operator corrects one of the sockets, the timer resets and waits the specified time for each succeeding error. Time-out intervals can be set from 1 to 999 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.

Insertion Test

This option performs the device-insertion check of the chips in the sockets. The insertion check includes poor pin contact, pin count mismatch (the pin count of the chip designated in the software does not match the pin count of the actual chip in the socket), device in wrong position, device upside-down, short-circuit between pins, and chip damage. Results are displayed at each socket's LED

Device ID Check

This option performs a device signature and manufacturer match test. With the chip selected and plugged into a socket, DATAMAN-848 checks the device ID and displays the results of each check on the LED display.

Verify Passes

Checking this option will instruct the DATAMAN-848 to perform device verification with the buffer data when programming is complete. When verify passes is enabled, one of the three verify options (as described below) must be set.

Verifying Options

The following three options are available for verification of data retention following programming: verify twice with 5%

V

CC

, verify twice with 10% V

CC

, and verify once with V

CC

.

These options will only be enabled if the 'Verify passes' option (see above) is enabled.

(·) Twice V

CC

± 5 %

Operation 41


When this option is selected, the DATAMAN-848 will do two verify passes on the device: one using V

CC

+ 5%, the other V

C C

- 5%.

Example:

IF V

CC is 5.0 V, the DATAMAN-848 will do one verify pass using a V

CC of 4.75 V, and one using a V

CC of 5.25 V.

(·) Twice V

CC

± 10 %

When this option is selected, the DATAMAN-848 will do two verify passes on the device: one using V

CC

+ 10%, the other V

C C

- 10%.

Example:

IF V

CC

is 5.0 V, the DATAMAN-848 will do one verify pass using a V

CC

of 4.5 V, and one using a V

CC

of 5.5 V.

(·) Once

If this option is selected, the DATAMAN-848 will do one verify pass using V

C C

.

Blank Check on Program Option

This option performs a device blank check test before programming. This option can be disabled for brand new chips to save time. For electronically erasable chips, enabling the auto-erase / overwrite option will allow the

DATAMAN-848 to automatically erase the chips if they are not already blank.

Protect on Program Option

This option automatically sets the memory protect on newly programmed chips. Failure to set this protection allows the chips to be readable or software erasable.

Auto-erase / Overwrite on Program Option

42 Operation


This option only applies to chips that are electronically erasable. It causes DATAMAN-848 to automatically erase non-blank chips prior to programming.

Blank Check on Erasing Option

This option causes DATAMAN-848 to automatically perform a blank check on a device after performing an

Erase operation on it. This assures that a chip has been erased completely.

Device ID Check on Erasing Option

Some chips feature an option that allows the device ID information to be erased when the chip undergoes an erase operation. This option must be disabled prior to erasing the chip; otherwise, DATAMAN-848 will report an

ID mismatch error and stop operation.

Unprotect on Erasing Option

Some Flash chips have a software protection feature which, when enabled, prohibits erasure of the chip's memory. The unprotect option on these chips must be enabled before trying to erase these chips.

Standard Mode on Mass Production

In this mode, the 8 sockets of the DATAMAN-848 work as a group. Insertion testing and programming is performed on all 8 sockets simultaneously.

Concurrent Mode on Mass Production

In this mode, the 8 sockets of the DATAMAN-848 are divided into two groups. Sockets 0 to 3 comprise group 1 and sockets 4 to 7 comprise group 2. The user can extract programmed chips and insert new chips in group 2 while programming the chips in group 1. Once programming is completed, the chips in group 2 are programmed while the chips in group 1 are removed and replaced with new chips.

The process is then repeated.

Operation 43


Use of the concurrent mode can help increase throughput.

This is because an eight-chip programming cycle for highdensity chips requires a very long time under the standard mode, and the operator is idle for this whole period. Use of the concurrent mode also allows the DATAMAN-848 to interface with the fine pitch pick and place handler, increasing throughput for high-density fine pitch chips.

Statistic Commands

DATAMAN-848 can keep track of chip-programming failures. The lower right-hand corner of the Run Time

Viewer screen contains two entries: Current Quantity and

Total Fail. These quantities automatically increment for every chip DATAMAN-848 attempts to program, and for every programming failure. Failures counted include chips that fail device ID check, blank check, verify pass, protect, and unprotect. The user can input a target quantity of chips to be programmed in a production run, and an allowable number of failures. An alarm feature can be set so that when the target quantity or the allowable failures is reached, an alarm message is displayed on the screen to alert the operator.
