Features

GENERAL

• MEMprog is next member of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP based ELNEC specialized programmers. Programmer is built to meet the demands of the development labs and field engineers for a specialized memory programmer.
• MEMprog support virtually all memory types - EPROM, EEPROM, NVRAM, Flash EPROM and serial EEPROM - low voltage types including. MEMprog isn't only programmer, but also static RAM tester.
• Provides very competitive price but excellent hardware design for reliable programming. Nice "value for money" in this class.
• Very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware and support of IEEE1284 (ECP/EPP) high-speed parallel port.
• MEMprog interfaces with the IBM PC, 486 and above, portable or desktop personal computers through any parallel (printer) port, but it can utilize all ECP/EPP advantages.

HARDWARE

• 40 powerful TTL pindrivers provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability for each pin of socket. Advanced pindrivers incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to deliver signals without overshoot or ground bounce for all supported devices. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of today's advanced low-voltage devices.
• The programmer performs device insertion test (wrong device position in socket) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities, supported by signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
• MEMprog programmer performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.
• Various socket converters are available to handle device in PLCC, SOIC and other packages.

SOFTWARE

• Programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down menus, hot keys and on-line help. Selecting of device is performed by its class, by manufacturer or simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number.
• Standard device-related commands (read, blank check, program, verify, erase) are enhanced by some test functions (insertion test, signature-byte check), and some special functions (autoincrement).
• All known data formats are supported. Automatic file format detection and conversion during load of file.
• The rich-featured autoincrement function enables to assign individual serial numbers to each programmed device - or simply increments a serial number, or the function enables to read serial numbers or any programmed device identification signatures from a file.

CARE FOR THE CUSTOMERS

• The support the most new memory devices requires only a software update due to the MEMprog hardware. With our prompt service you can have a new device added to the list of supported devices within hours! See AlgOR (Algorithm On Request) service for details.
• Free software updates are available by download from our WEB site.
• Keep-Current and AlgOR services, our next step to be customers satisfied.
  • Keep-Current service means, that ELNEC send off the latest version of programmer software and updated user documentation (Keep-Current package) to customer . A Keep-Current service is your hassle-free guarantee that you are doing the highest quality programming on ELNEC programmers, at minimal cost.
  • AlgOR (Algorithm On Request) service gives to the user tool to influence to amount and types of programmed devices as needed.
