Product Information:
System General’s Multi-APRO is an extremely advanced
programming system for processing Microchip
Technology PICmicro microcontrollers (MCUs) for
engineering or production. Support for all package styles
and component families is comprehensive and ongoing.
Multi-APRO is based on a 48 Universal Pin-Driver
architecture and is the ideal tool for design or
manufacturing when working with programmable devices.
The system can be configured with a single socket for
R&D and then expanded as the application turns to
production. All package styles are supported including
DIP, PLCC, SOIC, SSOP, TSOP, QFP, TQFP and PGA.
As many as eight modules can be linked to one controller
so that programming can occur eight-at-a time
asynchronously! As well, kitting is facilitated since each
module can be configured for a different device, even
different package style. Device-specific algorithms are
stored in the computer and on FLASH (PCMCIA) card for
firmware. Remote operation is via RS-232 (115 kbps) or
parallel port for the ultimate in flexibility. Mouse-driven
software allows for easy-to-apply engineering/editing
features.
Use of only approved algorithms assures optimum yields,
and SG’s patented “Auto-Mapping” technology provides
for the industry’s fastest programming times and therefore
highest throughput. Easy-to-use engineering features
allow for convenient editing of data. Additional capabilities
include swap-shuffle-split and even serialization! Optional
High/Low V
CC verify can help insure board-level reliability.
All configuration modes are supported. Compatible with
Microchip Technology’s proprietary checksum generating
method.
