Welcome
Welcome to the world of Xeltek SUPERPRO programmers. Xeltek has produced the
SUPERPRO line of IC programmers since 1985. Our motto is to provide high value
products at affordable prices. In the past 27 years, Xeltek has produced a string of
highly popular and successful programmers including SUPERPRO, SUPERPRO II,
SUPERPRO III, SUPERPRO V, SUPERPRO 680, SUPERPRO 8000, SUPERPRO 3000U,
and SUPERPRO 9000 models.
SUPERPRO 3000U is the first model to incorporate both PC connected and stand‐
alone modes operations combined into one programmer. It is also the first programmer
to break the barrier of 40,000 devices supported in the industry. SUPERPRO 3000U is by
far the most popular IC programmer in the industry today.
Pushing the barrier further, Xeltek is proud to announce the family of SUPERPRO
7500 programmers. SUPERPRO 7500 retains all the good features of SUPERPRO
3000U, but, in addition, it is designed to program today's large size devices efficiently
and effectively.

3.2 Programming Procedures
This section provides information on steps for common procedures to programme
devices using SUPERPRO 7500.
Before using the programmer to program a device, make sure that the programmer
is installed properly and that the computer and programmer are communicating
successfully. Make sure that you have the appropriate adapter for your SMD devices,
if applicable. Insert the chip correctly. Follow the guidelines of the standard chip
insertion markings near the pin-driver socket. However, if you select SMD or a
device that requires non-standard insertion, the system prompts you with the
appropriate chip insertion.

3.2.1 Select the device
To open the Device Selection window, choose one of the following options:
•Select the Device Selection icon
•Select the Device menu and select the Select Device (Device) option.
The system then displays the Device Selection screen as shown below.
NOTE: The red device name means that such device(s) need authorization to use.
3.2.2 Load data into buffer
One can load data into the buffer by reading data either from a file or a master chip.
To read data from a file, select Load File from the File menu. The system
displays the Load File dialog box. To make sure the loaded data is correct one
can review the information in the Buffer window.
NOTE: Some Hex or S record files contain non-zero file initial address. In this
case, enter the start address in the File Address box.
To read the data from a master chip, complete the following steps:
oInsert the master chip in the socket.
oSelect Read on the Device Operation window in the main screen. The

data will be copied from the master chip to the buffer memory.
oTo make sure the loaded data is correct one can review the
information in the Buffer window.
oIf desired, you can save the data to a disk for later use.
NOTE: The read function is not available for some devices, including those
have been encrypted.
3.2.3 Set options
Click Operation Option from the Option menu to open the Operation Option
screen. Set each of the following options:
oInsertion Test indicates whether to check the pin contact.
oDevice ID Check indicates whether to check the ID of the device.
oBeeper indicates whether the beeper alarms a sound when the
operation succeeds/fails.
oAuto Increment Function indicates an automatic increase in the label
number written to each chip.
oAddress Change indicates whether a different start and end address
shall be applied for the programming zone of the device.
To set the order of the batch processing functions, select Edit Auto from the
Options menu. The system displays the Edit Auto screen.
For devices that include the configuration word, you must set the
configuration word before programming to ensure that the chip can be used
on the target system. The configuration words for some devices are contained
in the data file. Therefore, the system automatically loads the configuration
word into the configuration word buffer when loading the data file. For some
devices, you must manually make the selection. Select Device Configuration
Word from the Device menu to open the ConfigWord screen.
Many devices must meet some special requirements for the programming of
a chip, including special algorithms conventions. Read the device manual or
instructions carefully and adjust the operation steps or buffer data as needed.

If an adapter is required for programming, the system displays information
about the adapter in the device information screen.
3.2.4 Execute programming
Insert the chip properly into the socket. If the prompt information indicates a need
for an adaptor, you may purchase the adapter. The operation procedure for the
programming of a chip is described as the following steps:
Blank Check
NOTE: You can skip this step if the chip is brand new.
The Blank Check fails on electrically erasable chips containing some
information. In this case, perform the Erase operation first. You do not
need to erase EPROM chips for which the data can be overwritten.
Program
Verify
NOTE: This step is necessary. The chip must pass Verification before the
programming can be implemented. Some chips provide only the
accumulation check function, such as VerifyCRC instead of a unit-to-unit
check function. Very few chips do not provide the accumulation check
function.
Security or Protect if encryption is required
NOTE: You may need to set the configuration word before performing
encryption. Refer to Device Configuration Word on page 37 for more
information. Select Auto to finish all the operations in one step.
Execute Production Mode to Program Chips in Batches
Select Production Mode from the Option menu to program devices in large
quantities. This function facilitates the job of the user who programs chips in
batches. In order to program chips in batches, the programmer always conducts the
insertion test. The programmer waits for the chip insertion to initiate while the
system displays the following prompt: Please, insert a device into the socket. Once
you have properly inserted the chip, the auto batch-processing command starts
automatically.

3.3 Programming When Connected by Hub
SUPERPRO®7500 provides a connection hub and user can simultaneously operate
multiple SUPERPRO®7500 programmer by using the hub.
Click menu Programmer -> Module Management, and select the number of the
programmer you want to operate. Picture below shows the interface when
simultaneously operating three programmers.
Every programmer has a unique number. The programmer's first line of the LCD
display will show the number of this programmer. The module that is selected at the
time will be highlighted. The device that is going to be programmed can be different
type(s) in each of the module that is connected through the hub.

In normal mode, all operations (i.e. selecting devices, loading documents and
programming) are carried out in the programmer that is selected and
highlighted at the time being.
In global configuration mode, all the operations are carried out in the
programmer(s) that is selected with the check in tick-box(es).
NOTE: Choose specified hub for XELTEK to connect SUPERPRO/7500, and
currently up to 8 programmer can be operated simultaneously.
