General Specifications

	Operating Mode:
	Your choices are...
	Stand-alone Workstation		The device is a stand-alone unit with its own CPU, memory, storage capabilities, keypad, display, and other proper features.
	Computer Controlled		The unit must be interfaced to a computer.
	Production Unit		The unit is part of a production environment.
	Other		Other unlisted programmer type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Type / Capability:
	Your choices are...
	Single-site Programmer		Single-site programmers can only program one device at a time.
	Multi-site Programmer / Gang Mode		Multi-site programmers can program several devices simultaneously. Gang mode programmers enforce the same data for all devices.
	Multi-site Programmer / Set Mode		Multi-site programmers can program several devices simultaneously. Set programmers are a subset that can program several devices with different data for each device.
	In-circuit Programmer		In-circuit programmers are used to program chips that are already installed within a computer system.  There is no need to remove the chip from the system.
	Eraser		The unit is a chip eraser, such as an EPROM or EEPROM eraser.
	SIMM and DIMM Tester		The unit is used to test single in-line memory module (SIMM) or dual in-line memory module (DIMM) chips.
	Other		Other unlisted device type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Devices Supported:
	Your choices are...
	CMOS		Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS).
	PROM		Programmable read-only memory (PROM) is a memory chip on which data can be written only once.
	BPROM		Bipolar programmable read-only memory (BPROM).
	EPROM		Erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) is a special type of programmable read-only memory (PROM) that can be erased by exposing it to ultraviolet light. Once it is erased, it can be reprogrammed again.
	EEPROM		Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) is a type of nonvolatile memory chip used to store semi permanent data such as BIOS. An EEPROM can be erased (using electricity) and reprogrammed directly in the host system without special equipment.
	FLASH		A special type of EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a time.
	PLD		A programmable logic device (PLD) has integrated circuits that can be programmed to perform complex functions. A PLD consists of arrays of AND and OR gates.
	EPLD		Erasable programmable logic device (EPLD) is a type of PLD that can be erased and reprogrammed.
	CPLD		Complex programmable logic device (CPLD).
	PALs		Programmable array logic (PAL) is a type of PLD.
	GALs		Generic array logic (GAL) is a type of PLD.
	Microcontrollers		Microcontrollers are highly integrated chips that contain many components. Typically a CPU, RAM, some form of ROM, I/O ports and timers are included. Unlike general-purpose computers, which also include all of these components, microcontrollers are designed for a specific task - to control a particular system.
	PIC		The PIC series of microcontrollers are a product of the Microchip Technology®.
	Flash, SRAM-based FPGA		Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are logic chips that can be programmed. FPGAs are similar to PLDs, but where PLDs are generally limited to hundreds of gates, FPGAs can support thousands.
	Antifuse FPGA		Antifuse-based FPGAs are high-density devices, with integration levels of from 104 to several million gates per microcircuit.  They are designed and manufacture using antifuse technology that allows the devices to be more reliable and secure than SRAM-based FPGAs. This technology enable designers to safeguard against overbuilding, cloning, reverse engineering, and denial of service. Antifuse-based configuration elements are inherently immune to the radiation bombardment that intensifies as systems operate farther from the Earth's surface and that wreaks havoc on alternative flash- and SRAM-based FPGA-configuration structures.
	Other		Other unlisted devices.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
