Quick Start

0-1) This CD-ROM only has DATAMAN-848XP‘s parallel port software.

0-2) The parallel port must be EPP mode or ECP mode or BPP mode, the EPP mode is recommended.

0-3) You could download the USB software “β version” from Dataman’s website: www.dataman.com

1) The DATAMAN-848XP must be turned off before you install its software.

2) Install DATAMAN-848XP’s software then restart your PC or notebook.

3) Turn on your DATAMAN-848XP and run its software.

4) Select the chip type to be programmed first.

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

5) Load the design file into the buffer.

Use the Hot key “ALT-L”, then specify the origin of the file and load.

6) 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 key ALT-R), you can transfer the chip’s contents into the buffer.

You can also select any socket as the master socket. Go to the main menu, select the module options (Hot key F5), then set the master socket, insert a master chip into the master socket, and perform Read.

7) Insert 8 chips of the same type into the 8 ZIF sockets, set the device operation option (Hot key

F4), then perform Program (Hot key ALT-P). You can now program the 8 chips simultaneously.

8) To speed up throughput, a user can change the mode to Mass production mode (Hot Key Alt-

M). After entering this mode, the DATAMAN-848XP will program chips automatically after they are properly inserted into the socket. DATAMAN-848XP has both a standard mass production mode and a concurrent mass production mode. Standard mode allows the

DATAMAN-848XP 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. Chips in group 1 can be programmed while chips are inserted or unloaded in group2. After the programming of chips in group1 is finished, DATAMAN-848XP automatically programs the chips in group2.

A user can enable the insertion timer and adjust the timer. Enabling the timer will allow

DATAMAN-848XP to automatically shutdown a poor contact socket upon timeout of a user-set timer period. DATAMAN-848XP 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 poor contact socket is discovered.

9) DATAMAN-848XP also automatically keeps a running total of all chips that have been through programming and all chips encountering programming failures. 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 being reached.

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

Introduction

The DATAMAN-848XP 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 disseminated through software, giving our customers quicker and more flexible access to new chip support. DATAMAN-848XP future software updates in

EPROM, EEPROM, and FLASH technology will include 87C5x, 89C5x, and PIC16Cxx microprocessor support. The DATAMAN-848XP 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 which will allow the DATAMAN-848XP to perform as a customized special production gang programmer.

Features

Universal adapter for Flash chips

The DATAMAN-848XP 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-848XP also has a universal adaptor which 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-848XP'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 can program thousands of high-density chips per day.

Furthermore, the DATAMAN-848XP supports two programming modes. In standard programming mode, the DATAMAN-848XP 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-848XP 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-848XP 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-848XP 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 protects your pocketbook by preventing expensive chip damage caused by operator error.

Auto-sensing and self-programming

The DATAMAN-848XP has implemented patented technology to meet mass-production requirements. When a chip fails the device insertion check, the DATAMAN-848XP waits for an

10

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-848XP 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 which 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-848XP 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 Device | Mass Produce

Hot-key Alt+M

The DATAMAN-848XP 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-848XP first performs an insertion test and an ID check on newly inserted chips. It then automatically programs the chip. In mass production, the

DATAMAN-848XP can be set to either of two modes: standard mode or concurrent mode. In standard mode, DATAMAN-848XP 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 mass-production mode!

Figure 4.2 Standard mass production mode screen

23

Figure 4.3 Concurrent mass production mode screen

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-848XP 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-

848XP 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 Device | Edit

Hot-key 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-848XP 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.

24

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.

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 Device | Blank Check

Hot-key Alt+B

This option checks if the active device is in its erased state. It will return a message stating "Device not blank!" at the first occurrence of data in the device. The address where the data is found will also be displayed.

Reading a device

Menu Device | Read

Hot-key Alt+R

This option reads a master chip into the memory buffer for duplication of the master chip. Prior to executing this command, a master socket must be designated and the master chip inserted into the master socket. The default master socket is socket 0.

Programming a device

Menu

Device | Program

Hot-key Alt+P

This option programs the active device with the contents of the memory buffer. When the programming is complete, verification will take place. The type of verification depends on the

'verification options' set in the Options|Operation options menu.

25

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.

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-848XP waits for the operator to either correct the error condition or to acknowledge and bypass the error.

30

When the insertion timer is enabled, the DATAMAN-848XP 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-848XP will automatically shutdown the error socket and complete programming of the remaining sockets. If multiple errors 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-848XP checks the device ID and displays the results of each check on the LED display.

Verify Passes

Checking this option will instruct the DATAMAN-848XP 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 %

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

CC

+ 5%, the other V

CC

- 5%.

Example:

IF V

CC is 5.0 V, the DATAMAN-848XP 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-848XP will do two verify passes on the device: one using VCC + 10%, the other VCC - 10%.

Statistic Commands

DATAMAN-848XP 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-848XP 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.
