Introduction
JetProg is a new generation of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000
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, AT 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 to 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 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 customer's 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 pindrive 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 3.x, Windows 95/98 and Windows
NT/2000.
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 offer enough
resources for selftest, that control program is any time be able

to check pindrivers, present and correct level of all voltages,
check the timing and communication between programmer and
PC.
An optimally designed printed circuit minimizes negative
programming effects at the socket (such as groundbouncing,
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.
The JetProg programmer is driven by an easy-to-use control
program with pull-down menu, hot keys and online help. You
can select target device by its class, by manufacturer or simply
by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number.
Besides the standard device-related commands (read, blank
check, program, verify, erase) have been implemented some
test functions (insertion test, signature-byte check), and some
special functions (autoincrement, production mode - start
immediately after insertion of chip into socket). The control
program permits data manipulation within the buffer and
between the buffer and files and performs automatic file format
detection and conversion. The software is available in english
and in more another languages.
The rich-featured auto-increment function of JetProg enables
you to assign individual serial numbers to each programmed
device. This function simply increments a serial number in the
buffer each time a new device is inserted. Furthermore, the
function enables the operator to read serial numbers and/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
