HIGH-SPEEd Hardware 
 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 the perfect adaptation of the components to the programming
algorithms. The FPGA (user-programmable logic) allows the realization
of State Machines, UARTs etc. and thus supports time-critical components
that wouldn't be programmable at all with pure software
solutions. The programming cycle times are extremely short, close
to the specified mimimum times of the components. The internal
64 MB RAM serve as data storage and allows you to transfer the
data only once for programming multiple devices.
48 universal pin drivers
A universal pin
driver circuit especially designed for GALEP guarantees optimal
signal quality for the component to be programmed. Each of the
48 pins carries the following signals:
Logical
high, adjustable between 1.3V ... 5.0V
Logical
input, threshold adjustable between 0.5V … 5.0V
Three
independent programming voltages up to 25V
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 (1.3V ... 5.0V) and the input threshold (0.5V … 5.0V).
All voltages are permanently monitored by an independent coprocessor.
A universal
pin driver concept with as many pins as possible reduces the requirements
of adapters 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 limit of 500mA is kept.
Some old NMOS components and some microcontrollers consume more
than 500 mA. Those components are marked in the software. For ensuring
USB compatibility we recommend to use the included power supply,
or insert batteries (6xAAA) for such components.
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
GALEP-5
continues the established concept of the GALEP-32 software. The
program runs under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista.
it features a comprehensive set of basic functions such as read,
program, compare and delete, along with easy-to-use custom configuration
options for any special functions required by the selected component.
The editor allows a multitude of functions for editing component
contents which can be saved and loaded in 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).
The software
is permanently improved for supporting new components. If you need
a certain device that's not yet supported, use our free Device
on Demand Service. Free
updates are available on our website in monthly intervals.
Security
Prior
to each function, GALEP-5 checks the power consumption, correct
positioning, and the contacts of all pins of the selected component.
This prevents accidental damage to the component or the device.
AdapterS
GALEP-5
programs all components in DIL sockets up to 48 Pins between
300 … 600 MIL (ca. 7,5 … 16 mm) wide, without additional
adapters.
Modern electronics products however contain mostly SMD components.
Universal SMD adapters are available for all components with
up to 48 pins. Only one adapter per socket is required; few adapters
= small system costs!
Of course
adapters for components with more than 48 pins are also available.
Because the pin number of the programming device is smaller than
the pin number of the components, such adapters are always specialized.
If you have to program components with a high pin number frequently,
a GALEP-5D (with up to 240 pins) might be the more effective solution.
All GALEP-4
adapters can be used with GALEP-5!
