It features 48-pin ZIF sockets, supports all kind of programmer chip in the market which include CPLD, EPROM, EEPOM, Serial EEPROM, Flash memory and MCU, extremely high throughput, 5V and 3V chip support in both Vcc and I/O, lower voltage chip (for example 1.8V Vcc and I/O support) also possible through special adapter, 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.

Features
Universal adapter below 48 pin The LABTOOL-48UXP is designed to meet you future needs in high density Flash chips. Using the resources of your PC, it supports 32K bit up to over G bit memory chips without upgrading its hardware. The LABTOOL-48UXP also has a universal adapter that accommodates 48-pin TSOP, 44-pin PLCC, 40-pin TSOP, and 32-pin TSOP that support all the chip in same adapter which eliminates the need to buy multiple adapters and saves you money.

Unbeatable speed
The LABTOOL-48UXPs on-board intelligence reduces system overhead to a minimum. It can program Flash chips within 2.5 second per M bit (for example, AMD29DL323 can be programmed by LABTOOL-48UXP within 80 seconds). An experienced operator can program thousands of high-density
2

chips per day.

Device-insertion and continuity checks No mistakes!

The LABTOOL-48UXP 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 mistake.

Auto-sensing and self-programming

The LABTOOL-48UXP has implemented patented technology to meet mass-production requirements. When a chip insert into the ZIF socket, the LABTOOL-48UXP will start to program the chip automatically, operator just follow the LED to remove the chip and insert the chip without need to press any key.

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.

Variable VCC with one or two-pass verification

The LABTOOL-48UXP allows users to select the verification voltage after chip programming is complete, e.g., Vcc +/-5%, Vcc+/-10%, Vcc can range from 2V to 7.5V. Verification ensures that the chips have been properly programmed, with no data retention problems.

Figure 4.1 Screen for selecting Change Device

Special note in device package and its selection

In the above screen, you can find both AT89C51 and AT89C51*44 selections, the AT89C51 means this is a 40 pin DIP chip, no adapter request and 89C51*44 means the chip is 44 pin PLCC or QFP/TQFP, after select the 89C51*44, in the bottom of the software screen will display chip information and the adapter requirement. In this example, it shows SDP-UNIV-44 as recommend adapter, it means for 44 PLCC chip, you need the 44 pin PLCC universal adapter, if your chip is 44 QFP or TQFP, you will need a 44 QFP (SDP-UNIV-44TQ) or 44 TQFP (SDP-UNIV-44TQ) adapter. If you have a 3rd party 44 PLCC adapter that swap the 44 pin PLCC chip into a 40 pin DIP chip (emulated the 44 PLCC as 40 pin DIP), you can select the 89C51 in software selection
21

and using this 3rd party adapter.

Other useful example in device, package and adapter. 1) For example a 1M bit flash (29F010), this chip has three
kind of packages, 32 pin DIP, 32 pin PLCC and 32 pin TSOP, in LABTOOL-48UXP software, it only available in DIP package as selection, to program a 32 PLCC chip, you will need a 32 pin DIP to 32 pin PLCC one to one pin swap adapter (PLCC 3232-11), for 32 pin TSOP, you will need a SDP-UNIV-32TS.

2) For example, a GAL22V10 chip, this chip has two packages (24 pin DIP or 28 pin PLCC), LABTOOL-48UXP only shows 24 pin DIP in device selection, to program the 28 pin PLCC, a 28 pin PLCC to 24 DIP adapter to emulated the 24 pin DIP chip is required (PLCC 2824-04). 3) 27C128/256 EPROM chip, the chip available in 28 pin DIP and 32 pin PLCC, to program the 32 pin PLCC, customer needs a 32 pin PLCC to 28 pin DIP adapter, it emulated the 32 pin PLCC as 28 DIP, this adapter is PLCC 3228-11. 4) Other SOIC chips may have the DIP/SOIC package, if the chip has the same pin out and pin count in DIP and SOIC, select the DIP with universal SOIC adapter will program the SOIC chip (for example Pic16F73 with SDP-UNIV-28SO/300 adapter will program 16F73 SOIC chip). 1.

Auto Select EPROM

Menu Device/ Auto Select EPROM Hot key Alt-A This function allow the user to detect which EPROM/Flash chip has been inserted in the LABTOOL-48UXP ZIF socket, all the EPROM or Flash memory chip has manufacture ID and device ID in the chip (hardware ID), when perform this function, the LABTOOL-48UXP applied a 12V high voltage to the A9 location of the chip, then read out the chips hardware ID and compare to library then display the possible chip in the screen. This Auto ID only available for 32 pin or 28 pin EPOM and Flash memory chip, it can not applied to MCU, PLD or other serial PROM, EPROM/Flash chip with over 40 pin do not have
23

such a function since the A9 location do not standardize for chip over 40 pin, using such a function may damage the chip since a 12V high voltage will applied to the chip and cause the damage of the chip by accident.

Mass-production Mode
Menu Device / Mass Produce

The LABTOOL-48UXP can be use as a mass-production programmer for manufacturing. When enter mass production mode, all keyboard and mouse functions are disabled. The operator needs only to insert the chip into the ZIF socket, wait until the green LED next to the socket flash, remove the programmed chip and insert new chip. 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 buffers contents are eliminated. In mass production mode, the LABTOOL-48UXP first performs an insertion test and an ID check on newly inserted chip. It then automatically programs the chip.

Note: The insertion test must be enabled in operation option

set up in mass-production mode to ensure yield rate of programming.

Necessary set up in mass production mode.

After enter mass production mode a series screen will display and asking the user to fill the set up and confirm it, first you need to fill the operation set up menu (for operation set up, please reference to the device operation option section) then configuration set up menu (this configuration set up menu is device specific, only chip with configuration register has this
24

menu and the contents is different from chip to chip), reference to device configuration section. The last set up menu is statistic configuration set up, detail of the statistic please reference to statistic section of this manual. Start the mass production mode After fill and confirm all the above set up, the figure 4.2 screen will display, inset the chip in the ZIF socket and the screen of the ZIF socket will change color showing the chip insert into the ZIF socket, green color indicate the pin has contact with the ZIF socket properly. No any error occur, the programmer will perform all the job define by the operation option, after complete the programming a beep will generated by PC and the good LED lamp will flash indicate program chip successfully. Operator just remove the chip and insert a new chip in the socket the programming process will continuous till next error occur or the target quantity / failure rate hit the statistic set up. No change in color means no contact, red color shows program error when attempt to program the chip, PC will generated two tone to notice the operator.

Memory Protect/program configuration

Menu Device / Memory Protect Hot key ALT-U (PLD only) This function is a device-specific command; it appears on the main menu only after chips been selected have this capability. For example GAL, CEPAL, Microprocessor, and some Flash memory, the function must be configured before use. When properly edit the configuration byte by enable the configuration (ALT-G), set the desired value and status in the buffer then perform this command will program the configuration data of chips, most user will program the main memory first then program the configuration (two step). However in Mass production mode, user can enable the memory protect /program configuration in the device operation menu, after the main memory buffer has been loaded and configuration byte data has set to desired value, perform program will automatically
35

program the main memory and program the configuration byte in a single command (program or mass production mode program). Special note for program configuration/ memory protect Press this key do not means the chip will be memory protect (protect or secure the chip from read), if in device configuration menu the chip do not enable the lock bit or protect enable, this commend really means is to write the configuration into the chip.

Function Test (only available for logic chip)

Menu Device/ Function test Hot key Alt-T This function only available when a logical device has been selected it applied the test vector to the device and compare the outputs with the expected outputs. It tests if the logical chip has been programmed correctly after the chip has been secured and the fuse map is not readable again. It displays a message indicating success or failure, once failure it display the vector number and which pin is not match the expect result. Before perform memory test, you can modify the vector and set up the options operation screen. First Enable the function test or function test after secure in options. Select the function test voltage with twice or once. Define the X dont care state in the vector; High/Low or high impedance Select the error display format.

Important notice in function test To perform function test after program the PLD chip, the input
36

file must contents the test vector or customer has to create the vector by himself, in options of operation menu, function test is enable as default, which means after program the PLD, the LABTOOL-48UXP will perform function test automatically, if no vector in the buffer, the LABTOOL-48UXP will report no test vector in buffer, if test vector do not match the behavior of the chip after vector test, error will report with vector no and which pin expect low/high but received high/low. For PLD with PLCC in package (GAL 20V8 as example), the LABTOOL-48UXP software only supports 24 pin in DIP if you need to program a 28 PLCC chip with PLCC adapter, the LABTOOL-48UXP will program the chip but the function test will be failure since the pin can not mismatch with the chip (the chip is 28 pin but it emulated as a 24 pin chip with the adapter), the vector data will not match the device data in pin out.

Erasing a Device
Menu Device / Erase Hot key Ctrl-F1 This function is a device-specific command; it appears on the main menu only after electronically erasable chips have been selected. The function can be used to erase a desired memory range from a chip.

Compare
Menu Device/compare Hot Key Ctrl-F3 This command only available for memory device, the compare commend is to compare the buffer data with the device data, when the first data difference founded, the software will stop and report the buffer address and data difference in buffer
37

/device, press next key in the software screen will continue the compare process.

Device Configuration
Menu Device / Configuration Hot key Alt-G This function is a device-specific command for device with configuration register available in the chip, configuration register is use as special function register for the chip, it changes the behavior of the chip such as, OSC type, watch dog enable, code protection, and other functions. To write the configuration register into the chip, edit the configuration menu to your desired value then perform memory protect/ programming configuration.

Options
Modify Programming Parameters
Menu Options / parameters modify Hot key F3 This function allows a user to modify the programming parameters of the chip being programmed. With the programming parameters for the 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 the voltage exceeds the Max tolerance of the device. As the programming parameters are for temporary use only, they cannot be saved. After you select a new device or exit the LABTOOL-48UXP software the original parameters will automatically be restored.

Device Operation Options

Menu Hot key Options / Operation options F4

39

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
40

buffer size is 80 (Hex), will therefore 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. Buffer size This is the memory buffer in the LABTOOL-48UXP software, once the chip is select, the software open the buffer to match the chip size, user can edit this buffer size to enlarge it size to 256 M bit Max (4000000h) shuffler the file. Auto increment start/end address This function allow customer to program memory chips with different serial number on specific location without go to edit the buffer one by one. Specify the serial number location by editing auto increment start address and auto increment end address, edit the initial contents with buffer edit and set the increment value by edit the auto increment value and select the increment format. Auto increment value This set each increment value after initial value. Auto increment data format selection Binary increment format example 0, 1, 10,11,100, 101,110,111, 1000,1001,1010,1011,1100 ASCII Hex format example 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11,12, ASCII Decimal Hex format example 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17, Modulo-26 format example A,B,C,D,E,F, ,Z,AA,AB,AC, .
41

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. Result is displayed at the sockets LED. Device ID Check This option performs a device signature and manufacturer match test. With the chip selected and plugged into a socket, LABTOOL-48UXP checks the device ID and displays the results of each check on the LED display. Verify Passes Checking this option will instruct the LABTOOL-48UXP 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 Vcc 5%, verify twice with Vcc 10% , and verify once with Vcc. These options will only be enabled if the Verify passes option (see above) is enabled. () Twice Vcc 5% When this option is selected, the LABTOOL-48UXP will do two verify passes on the device: one using Vcc+5%, the other Vcc-5%.
42

Example: If Vcc is 5.0 V, the LABTOOL-48UXP will do one verify pass using a Vcc of 4.75 V, and one using a Vcc of 5.25 V. ()Twice Vcc 10% When this option is selected, the LABTOOL-48UXP will do two verify passes on the device: one using Vcc+10%, the other Vcc 10%. Example: If Vcc is 5.0 V, the LABTOOL-48UXP will do one verify pass using a Vcc of 4.5 V, and one using a Vcc of 5.5 V. ()Once If this option is selected, the LABTOOL-48UXP will do one verify pass-using Vcc. Blank Check 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 LATBOOL-48XP to automatically erase the chips if they are not blank initially. Program configuration/memory protect This option only applied to device with configuration register or has read protect function on it, enable this option will automatically program the main buffer into the chip then program the configuration sets up without need to perform memory protect separately. Enable this option not means protect the chip always if the configuration set up menu do not set the lock bit or protect bit enable.
43

Auto-Erase/Overwrite Option This option only applies to chip, which is electronically erasable for example Flash memory, Flash based MCU or GAL and so on. It causes LABTOOL-48UXP to automatically perform erase to erase a non-blank chip prior to programming (no warning message Device is non blank, are you going to program). Auto increment (only available to memory device) This enables the auto increment function that allows user to program different serial number into the chip without editing the buffer one by one, detail set up of auto increment, please reference to the auto increment start address /end address, increment value and increment data format section.

Parallel Port Selection

Menu options / parallel port Hotkey F5 This commend allows the user to select the parallel port to connect the LABTOOL-48UXP device programmer. Default setting with auto search, after executing the LABTOOL-48UXP software, it auto detect which LPT connects the LABTOOL-48UXP programmer, user can assign the LPT manually by select the LPT position to avoid possible conflict in driver if other LPT device has been attached to the PC.

MOS Technology hex file can be 64KB maximum!

This error is displayed when you want to save the buffer to a disk file, and the buffer is bigger than 64KB. The buffer can still be saved to disk, but only the first 64 KB will be saved. The rest will be lost. Choose another file format if you need to save the whole buffer.

Manufacturers Code unmatched!

This error message is returned when the LABTOOL-48UXP does a device ID check.
60

The device code found on the device is not as expected. You might have selected an incorrect device as active device, or the device is an older/newer version than the device supported by the LABTOOL-48UXP. Select the correct device as active device. If the error still occurs, download the latest release of software from our web. If you are sure that the device you are using uses the same programming algorithm as a device that is supported, you can use device as active device. You can then disable device code checking by setting the Operating Options.

No device on socket!
The LABTOOL-48UXP does not detect a device in the socket. The inserted device may be damaged. Replace it with a similar device and try again.

No test version in the buffer!

The memory buffer does not contain any test vectors. When the LABTOOL-48UXP tries to verify/function test a PLD, is displays this message. Download a file that contains test vectors before doing a function test. Test vectors are usually included in JEDEC files.

Not enough memory available to complete operation!

There isnt enough memory available to complete the requested operation. Free some memory and retry the operation.

Over current detected!

A current higher than expected was found. This might indicate that the device has been damaged or is short-circuit. Check the socket or replace the device.

Poor contact at pin %s!

The LABTOOL-48UXP does an programming/erasing etc. any device. insertion test before

This message indicates that the socket may be dirty, the device may have been damaged etc. Clean the socket or replace the device with another.

Record checksum/length error!

Usually this error indicates that a wrong file format has been selected. It could also indicate that the input file has a record that has been corrupted. Selected the correct file format, or obtain a new copy of the input file.

Tektronic hex file can be 64KB maximum!

This error is displayed when you want to save the buffer to a disk file, and the buffer is bigger than 64KB. The buffer can still be saved to disk, but only the first 64KB will be saved. The rest will be lost. Choose another file format if you need to save the whole buffer.

The pin number of test vectors in the buffer unmatched!

This message indicates that the test vectors in the buffer indicate a different number of pins than actually found on the device. This is caused when the wrong device is selected as active device, or the wrong file with test vectors is loaded into memory. This error is also caused when an adapter is required for devices with more than 48-pins. The test vectors try to drive the pins directly, and this causes an error. Make sure that the file and device

correspond, and do not use test vectors on devices that need adapters.

The system is in demo mode!

The LABTOOL-48UXP was not found when the software was started up, and went into Demo mode. You can still run the program (some of it) but you cannot execute any hardware functions. Your LABTOOL-48UXP hardware may be failure and need to repair.

This function is not supported in demo mode!

The LABTOOL-48UXP was not found when the software was started up, and went into Demo mode. This function is not supported in Demo Mode.

Time-out error!
The LABTOOL-48UXP has not responded to a request for a long time. This error may also happen when perform erase a flash memory chip, when the chip can not erase successfully within the time period, this message will display, it means your chip can not erase any more, change a new chip.

Unexpected code/data/end-of-file/run-time instruction reached! The input file is corrupt or of the wrong format.

User break!
This message is displayed whenever you cancel an operation.

Wrong file format or file is corrupt!

An input file with the wrong format was selected. Selected the right format for the input file.
