It supports programming of devices by most interfaces including SPI, JTAG, JTAG chain, SCI, I2C (2-wire) and UART Boot Loader. The fastest possible programming times are guaranteed due to a combination of highly optimised algorithms, local storage of Project Data and high slew rate Line Driver Circuitry. The PPM4-MK1 is capable of operating in 'Standalone Mode' where any one of 64 independent 'Programming Projects' can be recalled and executed via the programmer keypad / display interface. This makes the programmer ideal for production environments as operator simply selects the correct project for the job and then presses a single button to repeatedly program the same project. The PPM4-MK1 also features a 4-wire TTL Remote Control interface making it ideal for interfacing to any ATE or In-Circuit Tester (ICT). A special 'Start Signal' can be used to detect when a Test Fixture lid has been closed and thereby automatically start a programming operation.
