Tool Description:

EMP-20 is a low cost, $449.95, device programming tool that supports all Intel Flash memory components, SIMMs, and cards. EMP-20 also supports microcontrollers, PLDs and other memory devices.
As an example, Intel's 28F016SV 16-Mbit SmartVoltage FlashFile(TM) memory programs in less than a minute on EMP-20 connected to an i386(TM) microprocessor-based PC (includes configuration file download time). EMP-20 erases the 28F016SV in less than 30 seconds.
Located at lower left is the programming site. This station consists of a 48-pin DIP ZIF socket. The ZIF socket handles 300-600 mil wide dual in-line devices. Adapters accommodate non-DIP package types. Also at this location is the "Family Module" connector. The inserted family module board determines which devices can be programmed. Family module boards reconfigure supply voltage, ground and pin driver capabilities for different device families (i.e., architectures). Support for many device families is accomplished by simply changing out the family module board. Relays and discrete DAC-controlled analog drivers provide rock-solid power and ground, and as a result, EMP-20 usually programs flash devices at near theoretical maximum performance.
An SRAM-based dynamic FPGA is the heart of the hardware design. Each supported device has a unique FPGA configuration file. EMP downloads the specific configuration file to the programmer as part of the device selection process.
The operating interface, EMP, is DOS-based or functions as a well-behaved DOS application under Windows*. The included buffer editor allows data to be placed exactly where you want it, provides HEX and ASCII strings, and support for SPLITS, SETS and SWAPS. A flexible macro facility allows storage of frequently used procedures, and keystroke execution.
