Introduction
JetProg is a new generation of Windows
95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP based ELNEC universal programmers
built to meet the rigorous demands of the leading engineers
and programming centers.
JetProg supports all kinds of types and silicon technologies of
programmable devices. It provides very competitive price but
excellent hardware design for reliable programming. Best
"value for money" in this class.
JetProg interfaces with the IBM PC 486 compatible or higher,
portable or desktop personal computers. Programmer allows
you to directly connect to your PC through any standard
parallel (printer) port (no special interface card needed). We
recommend use parallel (printer) port on PCI bus, IEEE
1284 compatible (ECP/EPP). The JetProg control program
support standard IEEE1284 also.
JetProg offer very fast programming due high-speed FPGA
driven hardware and support of ECP/EPP parallel port.
Consequently and due special protocol is communication
between PC and JetProg programmer fast and very reliable.
The programming AT29C040A takes about 28 seconds it is
faster than most its competitors. As a result, this programmer
is optional solution for middle quantities programming in
production or programming centers.
JetProg, base configuration
•JetProg, base unit
•JetProg, DIL48 socket module
For following text, term JetProg means JetProg in base
configuration.
16

JetProg
JetProg has 48 powerful pindrivers in base unit, expandable
up to 256 pindrivers using "pindriver expansion" modules.
Advanced pin drivers incorporate high-quality high-speed
circuitry to deliver programming and testing performance
without overshoot or ground bounce for all device
technologies. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be
ready to program the full range of today's advanced low-
voltage devices.
Modular design of JetProg allows adapting the programmer
according to customers needs either as very flexible universal
programmer for laboratory or high efficient multiprogrammer in
production line. Multiprogramming capability for most of
supported devices is accomplished by using "multiple socket"
modules.
Powerful pindriver provides logic level, pull-up/pull-down, clock,
ground, one VCC supply and two programming supply and,
certainly read, on each of all 48 pins independently. This
advanced design give it the ability to program almost every
programmable device in DIL up to 48 pins without adapter or
family specific module. Support for today and tomorrow
programmable devices gives engineers the freedom to choose
the optimum device for new design.
JetProg isn't only programmer, but also tester of TTL/CMOS
logic ICs and memories. Furthermore, it allows generate of
user-definable test pattern sequences.
The programmer has on-board intelligence, comprise of
powerful microcontroller system and support devices. JetProg
has been designed for multitasking operating systems and
is able to perform time-critical programming sequences
independently of the PC operating system status and without
being interrupted by any another parallel process running on
the PC. Consequently, JetProg works without any problem on
systems running Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
The programmer performs device insertion test (wrong or
backward position) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-
socket) before it programs each device. These capabilities,
supported by overcurrent protection and signature-byte check
help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
Built-in protection circuits eliminate damage of programmed
device due to mains supply fluctuations, communication error
or if PC is frozen. In event of such errors microcontroller in
programmer performs, independently on the PC, exactly
specified sequence of steps, so that programmed target device
remains intact. Programmer's hardware offers enough
resources for selftest, that control program is any time be able
to check pindrivers, present and correct level of all voltages,
17

ELNEC s. r. o.
check the timing and communication between programmer and
PC.
An optimally designed printed circuit minimizes negative
programming effects at the socket (such as ground bouncing,
supply voltage instability). All the inputs of the JetProg
programmer, including the ZIF socket, connection to PC and
power supply input, are protected against ESD to protect the
programmer and programmed circuits against damage due
ESD.
JetProg performs programming verification at the marginal
level of supply voltage, which, obviously, improves
programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.
JetProg programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control
program with pull-down menu, hot keys and on-line help.
Selecting of device is performed by its class, by manufacturer
or simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part
number.
Standard device-related commands (read, blank check,
program, verify, erase) are boosted by some test functions
(insertion test, signature-byte check), and some special
functions (autoincrement, production mode - start immediately
after insertion of chip into socket).
All known data formats are supported. Automatic file format
detection and conversion during load of file.
The rich-featured autoincrement function enables to assign
individual serial numbers to each programmed device - or
simply increments a serial number, or the function enables to
read serial numbers or any programmed device identification
signatures from a file.
Various socket converters are available for the JetProg, DIL
to PLCC, DIL to PSOP, DIL to SOIC, DIL to TQFP and DIL to
TSOP. Software controlled pin-swapping capability together
with universal converters are what give the JetProg the ability
to program the target device in any package type. For
example, just one DIL44 to PLCC44 converter will allow the
JetProg to handle any PLCC44 target device in the current
device list.
Devices with more than 48 pins are supported by
•pindriver expansion module and universal single socket
module
•simple special package converters
It is important to remember that in most cases new devices
require only a software upgrade since the JetProg has 48
18

JetProg
true pin drivers, which can perform as required under program
control. With our prompt service new devices can be added to
the current list within hours!
Advanced design including protection circuits, original brand
components and careful manufacturing allows us to provide a
three-year warranty on parts and labour for the JetProg
(limited 25,000-cycle warranty on ZIF socket).

indicator glows with a low intensity, the JetProg is in inactive
mode.
Connecting JetProg to the PC
Switch off PC and programmer. Insert the communication
cable included with your JetProg programmer package to a
free printer port on your PC. If your computer is equipped with
only one printer port, substitute the programmer cable for the
printer cable. Connect the opposite cable end to the
programmer. Screw on both connectors to counter-connectors.
This is very important. It may be uncomfortable to switch
between printer cable and programmer cable, though it is not
recommended to operate the JetProg programmer through a
mechanical printer switch. Use of an electronic printer switch is
impossible. But you can install a second multi-I/O in your
computer, thus obtaining a supplementary printer port, says
LPT2. So your printer may remain on LPT1 while the
programmer on LPT2.
Switch on the PC.
Connect the mains connector of the power supply (or the wall-
plug power supply itself) to a mains plug, and then connect the
mini-DIN connector to the programmer's connector labeled
"12VAC". At this time all 'work result' LEDs (and 'POWER'
LED) light up successive and then switch off. Once the
POWER LED lights with low brightness then the JetProg
programmer is ready to run.
Next run the control program for JetProg.
Caution! If you don't want to switch off your PC when
connecting the JetProg, proceed as follows:
•When connecting the programmer to the PC: FIRST insert
the communications cable and THEN the power-supply
connector.
•When disconnecting the programmer from the PC: FIRST
disconnect the power-supply connector and THEN the
communication cable.
From JetProg's point of view the connecting and disconnecting
sequence is irrelevant. Protection circuits on all programmer
inputs keep it safe. But think of your PC please.
