Please check the air pressure of the "Push" cylinder, located in front of the SuperBOT.

The air pressure should be increased if the socket cannot be fully opened.

This will solve the issue with the socket template presser, allowing the sockets to fully open.

The Push setting is found on the SuperBOT 5A & 5E model.

For other SBOT models please check the Air Compressor PSI setting.

If a chip is being misplaced in the Tray, Socket or Tape In or Out pls check the software calibration(X,Y).

If the calibration is fine please check the nozzle air pressure.

Low air pressure can cause the chip to fall before being placed properly.

1 - Check if the emergency RED button is disabled.

2 -

Make sure the I/O Configurations are set properly.

3 - Verify accessory connection cables are properly inserted and secured.

If you're receiving unexpected error messages please check the SP7500N log report for additional error messages.

Nozzle air pressure should be increased.

If a operation time is longer than 300s/5mins the SBOT will stop.

The default timeout is 300s/5mins, if a chip operation time is longer than 300s/5mins please increase the IC operation timeout under settings.

Visit the following tab in the laser marking software.

The setting options will open, which will allow you to change the language.

To switch over to the Laser Marking Machine,

there is a switch under the monitor by the mouse and keyboard.

When you switch over to the Laser Marking Machine the monitor, mouse and keyboard would also connect.

If you received the "database disk image malformed" error please delete the database file in the superpro folder EX: C:/program data/superpro02/ delete file sessions8.db

Please close the software and reopen it.

The Vision Check feature checks the chip’s position before placement.

The SBOT is equipped with an Upward Camera which allows to check the chip’s position.

If the chip is slightly off, it will reposition the chip according to the template.

The Upwards camera verifies the chip position, if the chip is slightly off it will reposition the chip for a better chance of placement.

Before the placement of the chip, the picked up chip will move to the upward camera to verifying.

When Vision check is enabled the units per hour is reduced due to the extra verification.

Vision check is not necessary if the SuperBOT is calibrated correctly.

The upward camera is a fixed camera.

To learn how to create a template for Vision Check – Click Here

If the Template is bad most chips will fail.

The following feature is to verify the socket adapter, whether if it’s empty or a chip is still inside.

Device P/Check, this feature uses the programmer module to check if the socket is empty.

Device V/Check, this feature uses the downward camera to verify if the socket is empty.

We do not recommend having both feature enabled. Device P/Check is the default and recommended feature.

The Tape out handler is equipped with 3 sensors.

2 sensors check if the chip is positioned correctly and 1 sensor checks the tape is blank.

When a chip is misplaced the SBOT operation will halt.

If you're having placement issues please check your Tape out handler calibration.

If your chip is not programming or other operation failures please update your SuperPro software.

Please download the correct SuperPro software:

SuperPro 7500 https://xeltek.com/software/sp7500/nsp7500.zip

SuperPro 7500N https://xeltek.com/software/sp7500n/nsp7500n.zip

If the issue persist please contact TechSupport@Xeltek.com

We can adjust the power and speed on the marking software to control the intensity.

We should click the Preview button and there will be red light to show the marking position.

Before starting a new tape, we can use the OpenEmpty function to skip the empty cells.

SuperBOT requires at least a 1.5 - 2.5gallon max Air Compressor.

The SBOT uses a 8mm air hose, you will need a 8mm connector for your air compressor.

Keep in mind, when looking for a air compressor you want to find a compressor that is on the quiet side.

We recommend using PENTEL permanent marker.

Please have a look at the Xeltek USB Driver Troubleshooting Procedure for Windows Vista

On WINDOWS XP/2000, if programmer software/O.S.
is not recognizing the programmer unit after software installation can be found here:

Overview of how NAND devices are programmed on Xeltek Programmers can be found here:

SP6100 cannot automatically detect the part numbers from different devices.
Before performing any chip operation, the customer needs to select the correct device
part number in the software.  It can automatically conduct ID check and device
insertion test to verify if setup is correct.

Nand chips are different then other memory due to presence of bad blocks. Getting different checksum for two chips with same functionality is normal in case of Nand chips. Pls copy your master read file to a blank chip in hard copy mode. Just make sure that your blank chip does not have any bad block. This way your blank chip will be exact replica of master chip.

Duplicating Nand Chips

http://www.xeltek.com/duplicating-nand-chips-on-superpro-6100

Online mode is normal mode used when user is programming less number of chips (preferred for development purpose). All the functions such as buffer edit are enabled in online mode.

Terminal mode is a special mode designed for factory volume production which is used rarely. This mode only allows a few functions (such as Auto) to prevent operation errors from destroying the chips or to prevent wrong data from being written to the chip. The project file should be loaded into SD card, and the programmer is controlled using software commands (and not using keypad on the Superpro 7500 programmer)

One of the  important feature of SPIS01 is called “mass production”, once the programmer detects that the target board gets ready and ISP signal arrives, it immediately starts the functional operation defined by AUTO without keyboard operation. TPIN and TPOUT in  the port are provided for this purpose. TPOUT supplies high level, and TPIN is level detection input line. Short-circuit them on the target board, once ISP signal is applied to the test point, TPIN immediately detects high level, and AUTO command sequence can be started.

Following are the details regarding TPIN and TPOUT:

TPIN: target system power on detection(input)is pin 13

TPOUT is pin 9 on ISP cable.

If the “mass production” function is to be used, TPIN and TPOUT signal lines should also be connected. Pls apply 3.3 V to TPOUT.

The config word of this chip might be  programmed and that is the reason to failing in "Blank Check". If the chip is OTP then config word cannot be erased.

SuperPro 6104GP has 4 socket programmer models and programs the chips on each socket simultaneously. It can operate under one PC control . Superpro 6100 cluster works as 4 different SP6100. Each SP6100 works independently under PC mode and stand-alone mode. Xeltek stand-alone programmers (SP6100 clusters) provide  flexible volumeprogramming solutions for IC devices.

Superpro 6100 is a modified and improved version of Superpro 6000 with some component changes in order to cover larger variety of devices. Software of both Superpro 6100 and Superpro 600 have same look and feel.

Superpro 6000 supports 89961 devices whereas Superpro 6100 supports 95,000+ devices.We are continuously adding new device support to Superpro 6100 so please recommend Superpro 6100 programmer to any of your new customers.  

Apart from this, Superpro 6100 uses DX series of socket adapter which comes with enhanced security on the adapter ID chip. Apart from ID chip difference, CX and DX adapters have same specs.

For using external power supply, please leave pin 18 (grey wire) VCC from IS01 unconnected. Please connect Ground of IS01 (pin 1 and Pin 2 ) of ISP cable to ground of PCB which is connected to Ground of external power supply.

In “operation option” menu of programmer software please change working voltages as 5V.

These Coldfire chips need Power on Reset (POR) in order to enter BDM mode for programming. The best way is to supply Vcc from IS01 to a relay to switch external power.

Please use shorter cables for the test clip as longer wires may modify programming timings and result in programming issues such as  manufacturer ID error or other programming/verifying errors.

ISP support for multiple PCBs usually requires a lot more efforts than single PCB or parallel chip programming support. This is the reason we ask for schematic in advance so we can check if PCB is designed with ISP in mind. With our experience, serial programming is not as simple as parallel programming because the target load is unknown. Each programming algorithm is customized for most of the cases to suit customer’s PCB design. There are many factors such as length of wires, crosstalk, Power needed by PCB and other adjacent components on PCB which needs to be considered while developing ISP programming algorithm.

With our experience, serial programming is not as simple as parallel programming because the target load is unknown. Each programming algorithm is customized for most of the cases to suit customer’s PCB design. There are many factors such as length of wires, crosstalk, Power needed by PCB and other adjacent components on PCB which needs to be considered while developing ISP programming algorithm. It is preferable that customer PCB get tested with the algorithm ahead of time and that is the service we always recommend.  Substantial engineering resource is needed to support the chip and provide after sales support for ISP programming. Therefore we quote for ISP on case by case basis depending on project complexity.

Other programmer manufacturers may have the ISP chip listed as supported, but there’s a high chance of the chip not functioning properly because the target board has not been tested. When customer pays engineering fees for particular ISP algorithm development, we make sure that the device can be programmed in circuit at customer’s end and help to troubleshoot any issues which may arise in setup. Because of the level of customized support needed for serial programming, the support fees are higher than parallel programming.

SuperPro 7000 provide optional software interface to facilitate third party system integration using specific Dynamic-link library (DLL) files. DLL files could be called through system design platforms such as Visual C++, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic, Labview…etc.

SuperPro 7000, SuperPro 7100  and SuperPro IS03 have same dll files and usage is also same.  For more information, please contacttechsupport@xeltek.com

We recommend VC++6.0 for development as newer version of VC++ is not supported by dll.

The Xeltek Automatic Device Updater (ADU) is the program that updates new and
updated Superpro device algorithms automatically at a click of a button. The ADU users
do not have to download the entire programmer software installation kit every time when
there is a new version of the software is available. This eliminates the need to download
a large file and making an installation.

In this program, only the affected algorithm files will be downloaded and no installation is
needed. On the user system, ADU connects to the web server and downloads new
software device updates, if available. Total operation could be finished within a minute.

Xeltek manufactures variety of Superpro programmers, from low-end to high-end. As such, each level model supports specific set of devices. High-end models support most devices available in the industry, but it is also more expensive. Low-level models support less devices and cannot expand devices in the future. This is because the hardware design is limited to supporting limited number of devices.  In particular,  NAND Flash devices and high pin-count devices are supported only on the high-end programmers. They cannot be added to low-end models.

We have two separate buffers for Program flash and data flash. Are you loading data in both buffers?

Are you operating all highlighted operations as shown above? Please make sure that verify passes after programming.

Pls also run a data compare and send us .cmp file which we can open in note pad to see a mismatch between buffer data and chip data:

For "How to load multiple files to buffer and edit the data in buffer" please visit the following link; Click Here

Yes, USB isolator can be used with IS01 programmer. The Isolator must be a high speed Isolator. Verify error is generally not related to isolator and you may try a shorter ISP cable .

Because of security reasons NEC microcontrollers don’t support read operation. Manufacturer of this chip does not allow users to read the content out of NEC microcontrollers such as uPD70F3367GJA. Only other options such as program, verify are possible.

By pressing CTRL+F2 , you can save log file without closing superpro software.

Please follow these steps:

1) Load project file in older software.
2) Save your buffer data into file.
3) Note down device config settings and edit auto settings.
4) Open Newer software.
5) Load the buffer data which you saved from the older software.
6) Replicate Device config settings and edit auto setting.
7) Save new project file for future use.

To write the fuse bytes on the chip, you need to Run the "protect" operation after programming and verifying the chip.

Some secured chips passes blank check even after programming. This is normal.
1: 87 series chips: read data is 0x00
2: 89 series chips: read data is 0xff
3: Cypress chips: read data is random.
4: Ti and NXP chip: cannot be read

So you may ignore the fact that blank check is passing on a secured chip which has data programmed on it.

The project file name can be made of max 15 characters so larger names cannot be used.

When loading S file to the programmer buffer, the user needs to select ‘Motorola’ file type and set the file address as the starting address of the first S file data record.

For example, the first S data recode is shown as
S2240DE000FE86CF3F10CE205AED31EEC12719A6342A021A02856027F434B764A31EEE1C18A1

You need to set the file address as 0DE000 in File type window. Buffer address is the starting location you want to load the data.

When loading S19 file, we need to select file type “Motorola”.

For example, You can load your S19 file with S2 data records loaded first by setting the buffer address as 10000H and file address as 3C8000.
Then load your S1 data records with the default buffer and file address as 0000.

Please follow the steps below and refer to the attached instruction with screenshots for details.
1) Select MC9S12XEG128MAA
2) Click buffer and disable “buffer clear on data load”.
3) Load your S file P&E_Multilink_CyclonePro.abs.s19 by setting the buffer address as 10000H and file address as 3C8000. This step will load all S2 record data in the file to buffer starting from address 10000H.
4) Load your S file P&E_Multilink_CyclonePro.abs.s19 by setting the buffer address as 10000H and file address as 0000. This step will load all S1 record data in the file to buffer. The first S1 record starts from address C000H.
5) Save it as a project file to load to CF cards. xeltek test.prj includes all the data in the buffer.

The default checksum is 8-bit.

Our programmer software calculates the checksum of the data in the buffer.

P89LV51RC2 and AT89C55 have different buffer sizes. After you load the same hex file,
their device buffers actually are different. AT87C5133 and P89LV51RC2 have the same
buffer size (0000-FFFFH). You will get the same checksum after loading the same Hex
file to the same size buffer.

The programmer software can deal with hex code of different lengths and the buffer loads the data according to the starting address and record type of each line. Please check instructions for loading HEX file with SuperPro programmer under “Data File Related Questions” FAQ page.

Please refer to our help document below:

How to load multiple files to buffer and edit the data in buffer

When the data type of the data buffer is ‘Data’ (HEX/ASCII data), the default
calculation for the checksum is to put together all the data from Address 0 to the
maximum address byte by byte. To meet the user’s requirements, the data at some
addresses (including all the addresses) can be put together in a specified way

1. Change the calculation range
2. Select the accumulation metho

Please note that buffer address “0000” is chip address “F000”
And Buffer address “0FFF” is chip address “FFFF”.

Buffer is having FF because file is not loaded into it properly. Please notice that hex files have offset address and you need to specify this while loading the file. An example of how to load a hex file with offset address 8000000H is shown below:

Before programming, please check the buffer if it has proper data.

1. Use the partition merge tool to merge customer’s single files. One important thing is that every single file must include the data of spare area of each block. If the single file does not include the data of spare area, then the customer can not use this tool to merge file, and must prepare a partition table file themselves!
Customer also needs to know the start block number of every single file, and the end block number can be filled with the number of "x-1",(x stands for the start block number of next partition )
(for MT29F1G08ABCHC, select ‘SLC-2048*64’)

2. Select MT29F1G08ABCHC(ORB2),and load the programmable file and partition table file into the "NAND" Buffer and "Partition table" Buffer respectively.

3. edit “E,P,V” and select “Partition” in the Dev.Config.

4. Begin programming!

For more details, please refer here:

http://www.xeltek.com/faqfile/Xeltek Partition programming instruction.doc

We can provide customized software for your checksum calculation requirements and this may include modification in dll files of programmer software. Please send your detailed requirement to techsupport@xeltek.com and we will contact you with a quotation.

MCS file format is same as the "Intel Hex" format. In fact, the Intel Hex format includes all the different types and revisions of the hex formats defined by Intel, including the extended-address formats. Our software will automatically recognize all the different Intel formats and process them accordingly.

.rom and .wph formats are used by BIOS chips , .rom file can be directly loaded in SP6100 software buffer but wph file should be converted to bin format for proper programming. Please check the following link to convert wph file to bin format:

http://www.wimsbios.com/forum/topic11101.html

For Samsung, Micron, Hynix and Toshiba Nand, “Hard Copy” erase can remove the BI only when the BI is marked by customer's data . If the BI is marked by factory (manufacturer), then It can’t be removed.

For Nand flash devices from ESMT, Cfeon, MXIC the BI will removed in hard copy erase no matter whether the BI is marked in factory or by customer's data.

Please load first file with default settings . While loading second file, please uncheck “Buffer clear on data load” so that previous data in buffer remains untouched when you load new data.

Please refer to our help document below:
How to load multiple files to buffer and edit the data in buffer

Tond is power on delay and Toffd is power off delay.

You may increase the value as shown below, which affects the delay after power off. Toffd is an integer range from 0 to 255, and the unit is 10ms. For example,  100 equals to 1000ms.

Usually these settings are kept default and changed only if you have programming issues.

This error is caused by the connecting engine which is incompatible with the latest Windows update.

In order to fix this you will need to edit your start.ini file, this file is located in your SuperPro 7500 bin folder. C:\sp7500\bin

Under Version=4 insert Old_Engine=0 then save your file.

If you are experiencing issues with your Xeltek software not opening please check your anti-virus or firewall as it may block the software.

Please check your vault of your anti-vuris/firewall, if you see any Xeltek related programs please allow it.

This is a common issue with company's computer has they have extra security. If you are unable to disable or turn off your firewall, we suggest contacting your IT department.

We recommend using ONLY Certified Xeltek sockets adapters. Using Third Party Adapter may not be guaranteed and cause programming issues.

This shows the programmer didn’t detect the device. Please check the adapter
installation with the following procedures.

Please double check the socket adapter installation with the follow procedures.

1: Move the handle besides the programmer ZIP socket until the slots are open. Then insert Chip with the correct direction.

2: Enable Insertion Test & ID Check under the Operation Option tab, to verify if setup is correct prior to performing any programming.

For DIP type package, chip must be on the bottom line of the programmer ZIF socket with the nick upwards.

To install a different Xeltek socket adapter into Programmer, Adapter part number MUST be on top. Only goes in one way.

For some adapters, the front side of the chip is not pointed up after inserting it on the
socket of the adapter instead it is pointed down on the socket. This method of placement
is called “Dead-bug”. For example, the socket on the SA001A adapter is designed to
eliminate the possibility of a PLCC20 chip to accidentally pop out of the socket. Thus, a
chip is inserted backwards, dead-bug, into the socket where the part number of the chip
is faced down on the socket. For example, when ALTERA EPC2LC20 PLCC20 is inserted
dead-bug into the socket of the SA001A adapter the counting order of the pins is
clockwise.

The clamshell socket adapter is more reliable because there is no friction force involved.
The open-top socket requires pushing down a chip into the socket. Price is lower and more popular. It is used with SuperBOT automated programming System.

Please insert the chip by the right side of the adapter. Pin 1 is the fifth pin in the lower
line of the socket.

Yes. Serial programming support is available on all USB model programmers including
SuperPro 610P/611S/6100. First, please check if the device
you want to test has the ISP feature. Second, please go to our website and use our

As SP6100 programmer is 144 pin driver programmers and therefore has different set (DX Series) of socket adapters . However, almost all ICs with pins equal to or less than 48 pins can work well with old SA series socket adapters . For many devices with 48pins or less, we’ve open the compatibility with SA adapters. If your chip has pin count greater than 48 pins then DX adapter will be used.

Socket manufacturers do not openly state life time on the web. Our experience show that the TQFP sockets should provide 60K+ life time. But, many of them last 80K and 100K+ cycles.

Please enter ISP in the following webpage for searching devices that we support.
Not all the chips support ISP. Usually, serial programming chips support ISP. Some
parallel programming chips support if they have serial programming features. Please
refer to the device datasheet.

http://www.xeltek.com/device_search/search.php

Yes. For such 8 pin serial EPROM, you can select 25LC640 SOIC8 in the software.
And then use ISP Header-01 Adapter to connect the programmer and the chip on board. Only the lower 8 pins on ISP header are used. ISP adapter pin out in the instruction is shown as 10 pin DIP.

There is an instruction on how to use ISP Header-01 Adapter under the following link.

ISP on Nand flash chips and other large sized chips cannot be supported. If you want to request ISP programming support on a chip, please first check the datasheet of the device for checking if ISP is supported on it or not. Some IC manufacturers indicate whether this chip has ISP function or not in the name of the chip. For example, some manufacturers use NIS to indicate the device doesn’t support ISP function while use IS to indicate the device does. The letter F in the middle stands for Flash and those chips cannot be supported.

Also, the device has to be designed to be able to program serially. Most large size Eprom and flash devices are designed to program parallel only. Devices most commonly supporting serial programming are serial E(E) proms, MCUs, and PLDs. The Circuit on the PCB has to be designed to be able to program serially. Serial Input, Serial Output, clock, Ground, Power pins, etc. should be accessible from outside. For requesting a device update, please refer here:

Circuit on the PCB has to be designed to be able to program serially. Following points should be kept in mind:
1 Serial input, Output, clock, Ground, Power pins, etc. should be easily accessible from outside.
2 In order to prevent the required programming pins from incurring signal jump during the programming, it must be ensured that the PCB circuit board where programming pins locate is not connected with other circuits. Data, clock, and power lines in the circuit may clash with external signals being applied. Appropriate open/ closer jumper switch has to be in place to prevent this.
3 Precautions for power:
Though SPIS01 programmer can provide programming power (1.8-18V, 5W), in most cases the power provided by ISP programmer is not sufficient to make the target board work normally, therefore, we preferably recommend to use the self-contained power of the target board.
4 Precautions for the design with reset generator
If ISP needs to use RESET pin, and when the RESET generator has already been provided on the target board, please take care. The RESET generator may conflict with the actuation signal of the programmer.

We recommend using Xeltek standard download cable while performing ISP. The standard cable length is 25 cm. If the serial working cable for ISP is too long, this may also make ISP unable to work normally. In this case, try selecting medium and low speed in the SPIS01 software.

ATE control port is used for communication with external host or integration into the automatic programming and test equipment. Therefore, besides
the keyboard, the user can also operate ISP programmer through ATE interface.ATE equipment interface adopts opto coupling device to isolate signals, inorder to ensure security and accuracy of signals between the two equipments. In
addition, while using ATE interface, it is required to set the power voltage of external equipment signal and appropriate reference voltage point correctly.
For more information please refer here.

Programming an Actel device requires running Staple player, available from Actel, and generate a programmable data file with .STP extension. Programming some Altera devices require running Jam Player, available from Altera, and generate a programmable file with .JAM extension.

XPlayer is a kind of special programming tool which resides within IS01 and is mainly for CPLD series chips produced by ACTEL, ALTERA etc. As long as the customer provides corresponding STP or JAM file (such files can be generated using such design tools as ISE, Quartus II etc.), the corresponding device can be programmed. Select “XPlayer” on the “Device” menu bar, then the dialogue box pops up.

Device related information is already included with either .STP or .JAM file, so there is no need to select a device for programming. Please have a look at the below list of devices supported in Xplayer. May be more devices will be added in future.

A: Standard SD cards from any manufacturer should work. Newer SDHC/SDXC cards will not work unless they support the serial/SPI protocol.

For your convenience, we include a compatible SD card with Superpro IS01 programmer.

There is a problem with adapter ID. Please contact our sales at sales@xeltek.com for
assistance.

For wide 200mil SOIC8 package, you need to use SA023A or SA605B.
SA023 is SOIC20 adapter and can be used for SOIC8 chips.
For narrow 150mil SOIC8 package, you need to use SA602A or SA602. SA602A is a
SOIC8 adapter. SA602 is SOIC16 adapter and can be used for SOIC8 chips. In
addition, your chip may work in different voltage ranges. Please make sure you choose
the correct device AT24C1024B(1.8V) and AT24C1024B(2.5V) in the software.
Please refer to the device ordering information.

Yes. SA605A is replaced by the SOIC20 socket adapter SA605B.
Insert the socket adapter SA605B at the bottom of the 48pin DIP socket with the
adapter part number on the top. Then insert chip at the bottom line of the SOIC20
socket with the nick upward.

Please insert SA411A at the bottom of the 48pin DIP socket with printed SA411A on
the top.
The chip pin 1 is located in the middle of the bottom line of the SA411A socket. You can
also see the dented cut at the lower right corner. It is different from SA244 pin out.

S415T and S424T (Clamshell socket) are compatible. Please check the following
instructions on how to use S424T. Please install the adapter S424T into the
programmer socket so that you can see the printed “S424T” on the top of the PCB.
The chip pin 1 will be on the left side with a small circle marked there. The black cover
will be also on the left side after you open it. The larger circle on the right side is not the
location of the device pin 1.

Yes.

S615B is the right socket adapter for you. P-MQFP (Plastic metric quad flat package) is PQFP. TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) packages provide the same benefit of the metric QFP package.

Please check the adapter information in the software and insert the chip on the bottom of the adapter socket adapter. Then enable Insertion Test and ID check
under operation option of the software to verify if setup is correct prior to performing
any chip operation.

Since SA404 and SA602 have same 1 to 1 pin arrangement, you can use SA602
instead of SA404 on your legacy 680 programmer without updating the software.
SA602 is a SOIC16 adapter. You need to put your device on the bottom of the
SA602 adapter socket.

If they are universal (1 to 1) adapters, they may work. However, we cannot guarantee it.
If it doesn’t work, please go to our website and use our Device Search to find your
particular chip support. To quick find the adapters you need, please enter the product you want in the ‘Product
Search’ window.

For a simple adapter, you may find the adapter PCB pin diagram in the adapter information
box in the parallel model programmer software. You can use it to construct your own
adapter. For a complex adapter, such as this FBGA3 adapter, it involves high design cost.
The schematic or diagram of the pin out information is not published by our development
lab.
Therefore we don’t have the information you requested this time.
In addition, we cannot guarantee the programming result with 3000U if you use a third
party adapter.

The socket on the SA001A adapter is designed to eliminate the possibility of a PLCC20
chip to accidentally pop out of the socket. Thus, a chip is inserted backwards, dead-bug,
into the socket where the part number of the chip is faced down on the socket.
Please refer the adapter instruction in the FAQ section of Socket Adapter Use and
Selection.

No. For SA245A, QFP pin number is not wired to same DIP pin number.

No. For SA663, QFP pin number is not wired to same DIP pin number. We don’t have the
adapter pin diagram.

Yes. This BGA adapter is capable of accepting different BGA package, such as
VFBGA, TFBGA and CBGA. For example, M28W320FCT has TFBGA package.
GE28F320J3A has VFBGA48 package. Both of them use this adapter. VFBGA
means Very Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array. TFBGA means Thin & Fine-Pitch Ball Grid
Array. CBGA means CBGA Ceramic Ball Grid Array.

They have the same pin-outs, but different in height. SA245A is used for thin (ceramic)
QFP and the thickness of the IC is about 1.4mm. SA675 is used for Plastic (thick) QFP
and the thickness of the IC is normally more than 2mm. One chip will not fit into other
adapter due to height difference.

Lead-free chip more easily oxidized and thus contaminate the test pin. Mild cleansing agents can be used to clean the socket adapters. Ultrasonic cleaning machines can be used regularly (must not use strong cleaning agents such as thinner, benzene, acetone, etc.). Note that cleaning should be done at room temperature, time of 2-3 seconds, otherwise it may damage the socket.

The project data can't be read out using a CF card reader. CF card on SP6100 works as a data memory instead of a file diskette. The programmer reads project data from CF card directly and then programs the device. Data security is another concern for such solution. The project includes 3 files, *.prj,*.dcf, and *.erp. If you want to send the project files to the vendor, you can send the projects that you saved in your computer or send the CF card with saved/downloaded project files in it.

No, SP6104GP does not operate in standalone mode. However, Superpro6100 is a dual mode, PC and stand-alone programmer. If you need a few programmers to work under standalone for high volume production, we suggest you to select SP6100 or SP6000E cluster.

SuperPro 6100, SuperPro 6000E and SuperPro 611S have standalone feature. If a device is supported on them and works well on PC mode, it will be programmed in stand-alone mode.

Yes. You can edit buffer and ConfigWord and then save the project file in Demo mode.

Please make sure you didn’t run the software under demo mode. The stand alone is
shown disable under demo mode.

All manufacturers have their own programming specs and device ID. Therefore, it may not be possible to program a device with different device part number selection.

NEC upd780973 is MASK ROM version 8-Bit Single-Chip Microcontrollers. Metal mask
is a layer processed at the factory only. So we don’t support it.

We support NAND01GW3A0AN6 TSOP48 on SP6100 now. NAND01GW3A2B uses the same algorithm. But the chip package is Unsawn wafer. This is a silicon wafer. "Unsawn" means that the wafer is not cut into small pieces. You test this using wafer probes. These are very sharp set of pins making contact with pads on each chip on the wafer. Testing method of a wafer cannot be same as programming a final chip because they want to spend minimal time to locate defective chips, but not program all area. So we need to know your test criteria.

For a 2-Gbit NAND device, it is organized as 2048 blocks, with 64 pages per block. Each page has 2112 bytes total, comprised of a 2048-byte data area and a 64-byte spare area. “Spare area” is reserved for bad block mark and ECC values. Only the data in “Main area” is available to the user.

The best way to update the device list is to download the updated 6100 software.
Our software is frequently updated for adding new devices. The updated software download
page:

(masked Read-Only-Memory) is a memory chip that is manufactured with its contents. We don’t support it.

For all NAND Flash, our erase operation is to directly send the "Block Erase" command to erase all blocks one by one.

Taking MX35LG1G18AC as an example, we repeatedly send the erase command by the address of the block until all the blocks are erased.  The steps are as follows :

1. Send command 60H;
2. Send Block Address1 and Block Address2;
3. Send command D0H;
4. Send  command 70H and check erasing status. If the erase is successful, programmer will erase next block. Otherwise, the programmer will stop erasing and report the failure.

Once all blocks are erased, the chip will be return to blank state. Once NAND flash erased then data can’t be recovered, similar like zeroization

Xilinx XCS05XL is FPGA device. The FPGA chip does not have a programmable memory inside and it works with a configuration PROM (or EEPROM) that can be programmed by programmer.

Please read and verify the master chip. Be sure the buffer data is located from 0xfff6 to 0x

You can only read the CRC value but not full data in the chip. Our programmer supports this chip through ICP and the chip can not be read with a programmer supporting ICP. Please refer to the P89V52X2 datasheet for more details.

Please use shorter cables for the test clip as longer wires may modify programming timings and result in programming or manufacturer ID error.

The test vector table is a special data area. The data buffer corresponding to the data is called the test vector table. If a test vector table is included in the JEDEC file, the software loads the test vector table into the buffer when you load the file. Each line displays one vector. Each bit represents one pin’s test characteristic. The bits from left to right correspond to the pins from the first to the last respectively
If you have any issues in vector testing, please let us know full part number of your PAL chip and send your JEDEC file. Please also explain the details of the problem.

Please follow the steps below:
1) Select device
2) Insert the socket adapter at the bottom of the 48pin DIP socket with the adapter part number on the top
3) Insert the chip into the socket by following the position of pin 1 according to the instructions in the adapter information box (pin 1 facing top).
4) Enable Insertion Test and ID check under Option/Setting in the software to verify if setup is correct prior to performing any chip operation.
5) Read the master chip and save it in a Bin file by clicking file-> save
6) insert blank chip, load the saved file and run blank check.
For programmed chip, if Blank_check fails, Run Erase, Blank_Check, Program, Verify

Altera EPM5130JC and Altera EPM5130A (new version) have different die (silicon) and therefore have different programming specifications. We support EPM5130A (new version) on our programmers and EPM5130 is not supported. We don’t have programming specifications of EPM5130 as this is a very old chip and so it cannot be supported.

We support the stand compact flash cards up to 1GB for SuperPro 3000U standalone operation. We recommend SanDisk and Kingston Flash cards used on our programmer since they pass our test. The Scandisk CF cards are sold on our web.

SuperPro III has two modules working on 28V and 12V respectively. Outside ring 28V DC/1.5 AMP or 12V DC/2 AMP AMP Outside ring is + Please check the bottom PCB of the programmer. If you see U3 (64 PLCC package) and U7 (MC7812), the programmer requires 28V/1.5A. Otherwise, you need 12V/2A power supply.

A : SuperPro LX requires a PC with a parallel port.

Our parallel programmers use standard parallel cable.

SuperPro III is a top model more than 10 years ago as current SuperPro 3000U. Even it supports the chip less than SuperPro Z, it is a very fast and complicate unit. SuperPro Z is cost effective hardware. Please check Requirements & Compatibility Information about SuperPro Z as follows. “SuperPro Z programmers are entry level low-cost models, which do not have internal processing capability. It relies on the PC host CPU and memory for programming and other functions. As such, there may be some timing variations caused depending on PC CPU and operating system used. As a result, some later devices which are timing sensitive may be affected in their programming performance. Also, due to its limited hardware architecture, inconsistent operation may occur with some models of later Window systems. When this occurs, we recommend you to try on a lower speed system and when this does not solve the issue, contact us for upgrade to one of the later USB models.”

We don’t have the interface card to sell for the legacy programmer SuperPro II. There is no drawing information about it.

A : SuperPro 2000 is a very old programmer. We don’t provide service now. Normally, it doesn’t work under PC with high speed processor. You can try to use a tool from Microsoft called Microsoft Virtual PC and create a Windows 98 virtual computer running on your Win XP desktop. Then install the programmer software to see if it works. You also need to set the parallel port to EPP mode within PC BIOS. Btw, the parallel cable of SuperPro 2000 is used to transfer the logic signal (0-5V). We also recommend you upgrade your programmer to USB model programmer.

It is an obsolete programmer and we don't support it any more. You need a 3 feet long Male/Female DB25 Parallel cable.

SuperPro is a very old programmer and it comes with its own ISA interface card, which plugs into the ISA bus of a PC. The card also supplies power to the SuperPro programmer. Therefore, you cannot connect it to an LPT1.

A : Unipro DOS version software shown on our web is the only one compatible with its own programmer hardware. Actually, unipro has been obsolete for many years. We don’t support it anymore. Please consider trading in your programmer and upgrading to one of our USB interfaced programmers.

SuperPro L is a very old programmer. It doesn’t work with WinxP. We don’t provide any service. Please upgrade your programmer to USB model programmer.

A : We don’t update the SuperPro Z software any more. Updating the software is only
available for Xeltek USB model programmers.

TA025 [QIP90/D24] socket life cycle time is about 10,000 insertions.

We have two types of PLCC44 socket adapters on SuperPro 3000U. They are SA244
and SA411A. Both of them are compatible.

SA244 (PLCC44/D44) uses open top socket Price: $110.00
SA411A (PLCC44/D44) uses clamshell type socket Price: $195.00

SA244 uses auto eject type socket, which causes friction when a device is inserted or
removed causing wear on the socket. SA411A uses clamshell type socket which doesn't
cause any friction therefore more reliable. SA411A adapter costs more.
SA244 and SA244-B006 are the same adapters. All PLCC44 devices use it on 3000U.
SA244-B4403 is an old adapter used for SuperPro Z, which has only a 40pin DIP
socket.

For SA244, the chip pin 1 is on the upper side of the socket. For SA411, the chip pin 1
is on the lower side of the socket.

M04-611 module sells for $300 each. Please contact our sales at sales@xeltek.com.

PEP3000 is the only 100-Pin Expander module which is required and guaranteed to work
with SuperPro 3000U.

SuperPro 8000 is an obsolete model. We only provide repair service.
You need to upgrade from SuperPro 8000 to SuperPro 5004GP. Both are gang
programmers.
