Datasheet

The hardware acceleration makes GALEP-5D one of the fastest device programmers
on the market today. For instance, a MB90F947 Microcontroller by Fujitsu (128KB)
needs only 13 seconds for a program/verify cycle including data transfer - close to
the theoretical minimum specified by the manufacturer. The Ethernet port allows data
transfer at LAN speed of up to 100 MB/sec. The internal 128 MB RAM serves as data
storage and allows to transfer the data only once for programming multiple devices.
240 universal pin drivers
A custom-designed universal pin driver circuit guarantees optimal signal quality at the
output pins, and allows the small size and low power consumption of all GALEP chip
programmers. Each of the 240 pins can generate the following signals:
§ Logical high, adjustable between 1.2V ... 5.0V
§ Logical input, threshold adjustable between 0.5V … 5.0V
§ Three supply / programming voltages between 1.3V .. 25.0V
§ Ground
§ Three switchable resistors for pullup and pulldown
§ Adjustable clock rate
The switching regulators for the programming voltages are controlled by D/A
converters in 100 mV steps. Further D/A converters are used to control the logic
levels and the input threshold. For maximum protection of the programmable device,
all voltages are permanently monitored by an independent circuit.
A universal pin driver concept with as many pins as possible reduces the number of
required adapters and thus minimizes the overall costs of the programming system.
Stand alone and Network operation
The programming operation is totally transparent. GALEP-5D can be connected at
any place in your LAN, and accessed from any PC in the network.
The stand alone mode (currently in development for a future free software update)
allows using GALEP-5D in mass production without a PC! The programming data
can be stored on SD card or on a local server on the LAN.
For programming multiple components, several GALEP-5D devices can be controlled
simultaneously (cluster- or gang-programming).
In System Programming
The signals for in-system programming (ISP) can be taken from a separately
available ISP adapter or directly from the 48-pin ZIF socket. The help system
provides information about the wiring of the target system for all supported
components.
Software
The GALEP-5D program runs under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista.
Besides basic functions such as read, program, compare and delete, it features easy-
to-use custom configuration options for any special functions required by the selected
device. The editor supports binary, Intel-Hex, Motorola-S or JEDEC file format. Mass
production is supported by providing statistics functions and serial number
generation.
JTAG Support: Delete, program and verify components with JTAG interface (joint test
action group, IEEE Std. 1149.1 ). The following formats are supported: SVF-Script in
XSVF(Xilinx) format; JAM byte code player (ALTERA).
