HIGH-SPEEd Hardware 
 The GALEP-5
device programmer series is uncompromisingly designed for speed. The programming algorithms
run on an internal 200 MIPS ARM-9 processor under Embedded Linux.
The pin drivers are controlled by an FPGA (user-programmable logic) that contains programmable state machines and supports time-critical devices
that couldn't be properly programmed with pure software
solutions. The hardware design makes GALEP-5 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 - this is close to the theoretical minimum specified by the manufacturer. The internal
64 MB RAM serves as data storage and allows to transfer the
data only once for programming multiple devices.
48 universal pin drivers
A universal pin
driver IC especially designed for the GALEP series guarantees optimal
signal quality on the output pins, and allows the palm size and power supply independence of all GALEP chip programmers. Each of the
48 pins carries the following signals:
Logical
output, high level 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 programming voltages are controlled by D/A converters
in 100 mV steps. Further D/A converters are used to control the
logic levels (1.2V ... 5.0V) and the input threshold (0.5V … 5.0V).
All voltages are permanently monitored by an independent circuit.
No power supply required
GALEP-5 is
completely powered through the USB bus and does normally not require any additional
power supply. When the device to be programmed consumes more than 500 mA, which is the case for few old NMOS devices and some microcontrollers, the included power adapter or batteries (6xAAA) can be used.
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 device programming software. The
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 devices 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).
Batch mode: Run GALEP-5 from the command line, or implement GALEP-5 commands in your own production software. The programmer can be completely controlled by a set of powerful batch commands.
Updates: The software
is permanently improved for supporting new components (device list). If you need
a certain device that's not yet supported, use our free Device
on Demand Service or ask on the Forum. Free
updates are available on our website in regular intervals.
JTAG Debugger
With GALEP-5 you can debug all Microcontrollers with JTAG interface that are supported by the OpenOCD (On Chip Debugger) software - ARM7, ARM9, XScale, and Cortex-M3 MCUs. The chip to debug is simply put into GALEP's programming socket or connected with GALEP through a cable or ISP adapter (please find details in the OpenOCD documentation). Additionally you can easily define test algorithms for in circuit testing of complete circuit boards (Boundary Scan) for small series production. This way your GALEP-5 becomes a complete development, test and production system!
Security
Prior
to each function, GALEP-5 checks the power consumption, correct
positioning, and the contacts of all pins of the selected component.
This effectively prevents any accidental damage to the component or the programmer.
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.
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 pin drivers) might be the more effective solution.
All GALEP-4
adapters can be used with GALEP-5!
