GALEP-5 [USB]
Universal pocket programmer
GALEP-5
, the smallest programmer of the newly developed GALEP-5 series, is powered by
the same advanced technology as its bigger brothers. It's mainly used for development,
service, and mobile component programming. However, through its short programming
cycles GALEP 5 can also be used as a production programmer. A real universal talent at an
astonishingly low price!
High-Speed Programming: GALEP-5 is uncompromisingly designed for speed. The
programming algorithms run on an internal 200 MIPS ARM-9 processor under Embedded
Linux. The processor directly controls the pin drivers via an FPGA, which ensures this way
the perfect adaptation of the component to the programming algorithms. The FPGA (user-
programmable logic) allows the realization of State Machines, UARTs etc. and thus supports
time-critical components that aren't programmable with pure software-based solutions. The
programming cycle times are extremely short and the internal 64 MB of RAM serve as data
storage and allows you to transfer the data to multiple devices without effort.
48 universal pin drivers: A pin driver circuit especially designed for GALEP guarantees
optimal signal quality for each component that needs to be programmed. Each of the 48 pins
can carry the following signals:
Logical high, adjustable between 1.3V and 5.0V
Logical input, with a threshold adjustable between 0.5V and 5.0V
3 independent programming voltages, up to 25V
Ground
3 switchable resistors for pullup and pulldown
Clock with adjustable rate
The universal pin driver supports a huge number of components without using any other
adapter, and thus ensures an overall low cost programming system.
No power supply required: GALEP-5 is powered through the USB bus and does normally
not require any additional power supply. The USB current absorption limit of 500mA is kept.
Some old NMOS components and some micro controllers need more than 500 mA; to
ensure full USB compatibility, we recommend the usage of the included power supply or
batteries (6xAAA) for such components.
