Introduction
848A is next member of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
based B+K PRECISION specialized programmers.
Programmer is built to meet the demands of the development
labs and field engineers for a specialized low-cost memory
programmer.
848A supports memory types up to 32 pins - EPROM,
EEPROM, NVRAM, Flash EPROM and serial EEPROM -
including low voltage types. 848A isn't only programmer, but
also static RAM tester.
848A provides very competitive price with excellent hardware
design for reliable programming. Offer outstanding "value for
money" in this class. Performance, dimensions and speed of
848A can be utilized mainly in the maintenance.
848A interfaces with the IBM PC Pentium compatible or
higher, portable or desktop personal computers through any
parallel (printer) port.
848A has the powerful TTL pindriver, which deliver signals
without overshoot or ground bounce for all supported devices.
Pin drivers provide TTL levels in the range suitable also for the
low-voltage devices. Generators for supply voltage and
programming voltage are digitally controlled in wide range of
voltages.
848A performs programming verification at the marginal level
of supply voltage, which, obviously, improves programming
yield, and guarantees long data retention.
848A 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
(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
