Chapter 3 Quick Guidance to Write Devices

This chapter is a quick guidance to write devices, including:
 Software user interface
 Procedure to write devices
 Programmer hardware interface
Before you are ready to write devices, please make sure that the programmer driver has been
set up, and the programmer has been connected by USB. The SUPERPRO IS03 is a multi-purpose,
ultra-high-speed, multi-channel, universal programmer, and suitable for R&D and production. It
has two working modes:
• Online mode: Connected to PC USB by USB2.0 cable, the programmer has an extremely
user-friendly and powerful interface. Also the programmer can be connected to PC by a
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 16 -

standard network cable, and it works under network mode. We recommend USB mode, and
online mode refers to USB mode.
• Stand-alone mode: Operated by a keyboard and LCD screen, not necessary connected to
PC. Save user engineering document on SD card. Users can make engineering document
under online mode and download it on SD card, or copy it to SD card. Note: Stand-alone
mode does not support the function of generating serial number automatically. Additionally,
it supplies API interface and command line mode, and integrate programmer system into
customers’ systems to form a completely automatic writing system which is popular in ICT
testing or automatic production lines.

3.1 The User's Interface

Running the programmer software, the following user interface will come out:

1. Menu Bar 2. Tool Bar 3. Command Window

4. Programmer Statue Panel 5. Device Status Panel 6. Buffer Panel
7. Data File Panel 8. The Log Window

A detailed specification of the Programmer Status Panel is shown in the picture below:
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 17 -

1. Module number and the programmer ID

2. Auto/Cancel button
3. Device name and the manufacturer information
4. Status bar
5. Statistic information panel
6. Count down settings and information
7. Programmer status panel
8. Serial number

3.2 Programming Procedures

Before using the programmer to write a device, make sure that the programmer is installed
properly and that the computer and programmer communicate successfully. Insert USB cable
and turn on power as shown in the following picture.

3.2.1 Select the device

To open the Device Selection window, click Select the Device icon or select the Device menu
and select the Select Device option. First choose adapter mode (including ordinary, GANG2,
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 18 -

GANG4, and ISP), and then choose Device Type, for example, E/EPROM, BPROM, SRAM, PLD
OR MCU. Next, select manufacturer and device name, and click OK. Also by searching device
name in editing windows to narrow searching, choose devices quickly.

NOTE: The red device name means that such device(s) need authorization for use.

3.2.2 Load data into buffer

The process of programming chips is to load buffer data into chip memory units per
manufacturers’ requirements. There are two ways to load data into buffer:

1. Read data from a file

Select Load File from the File menu to load data from a file into buffer. Input the relative
file folder and name into the Load File dialog box, and then choose file format from the
File Type dialogue box. Next load file data into buffer after confirmation. To make sure
the loaded data 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.

2. Read the data from a master chip

Insert the master chip in the socket after device selection, and select Read on the Device
Operation window in the main screen. The data will be copied from the master chip to the buffer
memory. To make sure the loaded data correct, one can review the information in the Buffer
window. You can save the data to a disk for later use.

NOTE: The read function is not available for some devices, including those encrypted.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 19 -

3.2.3 Set options

1) Operation Option

 Serial Number Auto Increment Function: If choosing to write the accumulative

number at the specified position when programming, all the written chips will have
different numbers.
 Change Device: Need the start and end address of the to-be-written area.
 Verify Mode: By data manual's requirement, choose specified VCC verification voltage to
verify the programming's rightness.
 If the chosen device algorithm can program multiple chips simultaneously,
choose the unit to be written first. By default, all units ( channels) are chosen, so
customers can choose which units to be written at their will.
2) Auto
In the Device Operation Window, each device has a basic batch operation Auto. It will run
other operation functions in fixed order automatically. Ordinary devices choose the following
automatic programming mode.
 Erase
 Blank_check
 Program
 Verify
 Security or Protect
3) Device Configuration Word
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 user data file, and can be written into configuration word
buffer automatically when loading data file. For some devices, you must manually make the
selection.
4) Device Menu
After selecting devices, the device menu dialogue box will come out to display device status.
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. Simultaneously, connect programming cable and chip
pins by pin connection guidance, which is an important step in online mode.
5) Production Mode
Online programmer cannot do pin detecting, therefore production mode is different from
ordinary programmers. The system control port of a programmer supplies an input detecting pin.
In production mode, once high-voltage detected, AUTO operation will be initiated automatically
(Details are shown in 3.4 Programmer Hardware Interface).
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 20 -

3.2.4 Execute programming, loading buffer data into the chips

The procedure to program chips is as following:

 Blank_Check. If the chip is new, ignore this step.
 Program
 Verify. Verification is a must. Only after the verification succeeds, the chip programming
is confirmed right. Some chips do not supply unit to unit verification function but accumulative
verification function similar to Verify CRC. Very few chips even do not supply accumulative
verification functions.
 As to erasable chips with data, blank-check will fail. At this time, Erase operation should
be executed first. Some EEPROM devices can be programmed directly without erasing first.
 If the device needs encryption, add Security or Protect function after verification. Note:
The encryption for some devices needs to set device configuration word first. Please refer to
Function Details.

Users can choose Auto to finish all functions at one time.

3.2.5 Safety and Password

To protect user's data from being used by others, input passwords during the process.

 Set password: Input new password

1．New password 2. Password confirmation

When text in box 1 is same with text in box 2, the password is valid. When the texts in box 1 and
2 are empty, it means password unnecessary.

Note: Space can also be used as password.

 Password Confirmation: Need when operating the protected data.

 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 21 -

The description mentioned above is a must process to write a chip. If you are first time to use,
please read chapters about Function Details for details.

3.3 Project File

Project file is a special file type for programmer(.prj). It contains all information for
programming, such as customer settings, options, Auto and data to be programmed. Project is
required for stand-alone mode.

The standard procedures to create a project file:

Select device -> Load data -> Option setting -> Auto edit -> Configure word setting -> Save project

Every step is described in detail in section 3.2. NOTE: No need to set configure word If device has
no “Configure word”.

If user will program a large amount IC, it’s better to create a project file first. Load the project file
before start to program after running S/W and it’s no need to repeat the steps of various
settings. This is convenient ,and avoids man-made mistakes.

3.4 Programmer Hardware Interface and Channel Introduction

By initiating the trigger signal, users can implement automatic programming and watch the
running status by the LED in software interface. The LED configuration can be adjusted any time
at customers' needs. For more information, please refer to 5.5.

IS03 Channel Description

IS03 supports most ISP devices to program 16 channels simultaneously. As to a few multiple-pin
devices, IS03 may support 4 channels or 2 channels programmed at the same time. The lay-out
for various channels is shown as following:

16 channels:
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 23 -

In IS03 systems, every channel has two expression ways. For example, A3 channel means
the No. 3 channel, and D1 is the N0.13 channel.

4 Channels

2 Channels

For example, if Nor Flash chips have many pins, just two channels can be supported, that is,
AB channel or CD channel. AB channel is Channel 1, and CD channel is Channel 2.

3.5 Programming When Connected by Hub

SUPERPRO IS03 provides a connection hub and user can simultaneously operate multiple
SUPERPRO IS03 programmers 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 such as “01”,”02”….., and the programmer's first line of the
LCD display will show the number of this programmer. The numbers displayed on the screen are
correspondence with the ones on the software interface. 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 (i.e. selecting devices, loading documents and
programming) are carried out in the programmer(s) that is selected with the check in tick-box(es)
(excluding the operation buttons on the programmer board).

Chapter 4 Functions and Commands

This chapter provides a detailed specification and explanation of the SUPERPRO®
software. It includes the description of the functions and commands that is listed as
below,
• File Menu and Tool Bar
• Edit Buffer and File information Frame
• Device Operation Function Menu
• Operation Information Menu
• Status Bar
• Statistics Window

4.1 File Menu and Tool Bar

4.1.1 File and Data

There may be one or more data buffers in the device. If several data buffers are displayed after
you have selected the device, refer to the name and the data manual for the meanings of the
buffers.

The two data types of the device are Data (HEX/ASCII) and Fuse.
• For most EPROM and SCM, the data type is Data (HEX/ASCII).
• The data type for PLD device is Fuse.

After you select the device, the software will automatically identify the data buffer type. You can
review the buffer data types if you open the Edit dialog box for the data buffer.

4.1.1.1 Load File

When some file data are loaded into the data buffer, the following rules apply:
• With a HEX/ASCII data buffer (EPROM, MCU etc.), the system assumes that 8 bits of the data
are valid.
• With a JEDEC buffer (PLD/PAL), the system considers the lowest bit (1 bit) of the file data valid.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 27 -

Select Load from the File menu to open the Load File dialog box, as illustrated below.

1. Buffer. Select the Buffer name from the drop down list. The system loads the file data into the
buffer accordingly.
2. File Name. Enter the name of the data file to load, or you can select Browse and choose the
file using the Select File box (see figure below).

When the data type is HEX/ASCII, divide the file into many types according to the saved files.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 28 -

So after selecting files, to ensure loading data properly, it is necessary to choose the file
types.

3. File Type. Different file types are included here, e.g. Binary, Intel Hex, Motorola S record,
JEDEC, POF, TI, etc.
4. File Mode.
Select one of the following File Modes from the drop down list:
• Normal: Load the whole file
• Even: Select the first byte and discard the second byte out of every two bytes
• Odd: Discard the first byte and load the second byte out of every two bytes
• 1st byte of 4: Load first byte and discard the other three bytes out of every four bytes
• 2nd byte of 4: Load the second byte and discard the other three bytes out of every four
bytes
• 3rd byte of 4: Load the third byte and discard the other three bytes out of every four bytes
• 4th byte of 4: Load the fourth byte and discard the other three bytes out of every four
bytes
• 1st 2_byte of 4: Load the first two bytes and discard the other two bytes out of every four
bytes
•2nd 2_byte of 4: Load the last two bytes and discard the other two bytes out of every four
bytes
5. Buffer offset Address. Start from the initial address when loading data into buffer.
6. File offset Address. In case the file type has a non-zero start address, enter the data offset
address in the File Address field. Make sure to enter the correct address, because an incorrect
file offset address causes part of the buffer to be filled with FF (or incorrect data).
7. Buffer clears on data load. Tick this checkbox will enable the user to fill the data buffers with
the specified data.

NOTE: When the device supports special files to load (e.g. ELF), the User Defined
multiple-choice box window will come out. If check, loading file as the special loading
mode, and disable most loading option.

o Current buffer data
NOTE: The buffer data may be revised after loaded, and the revised date will be the
final. So the buffer data may differ from the data files.

• All Operation Option settings

 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 30 -

• The content of the Auto mode

• Software module related to the project (For more information, please refer to the
“Protection Mode”)

Generally speaking, the project file saves all the preparation related to programming. Users can
restore the engineering environment any time. Note: The project file is related to the
programmer software. If the software has upgraded or has been re-installed to another folder,
the saved project files become ineffective.

4.1.2.1 Load Project File

Select Load Project from the Project menu to load a project file. Change the device(s), data in
buffer, and operation option accordingly by the information that is provided by the project file.

Once the Project File was set as "Dynamic Password", a series of random numbers
will come out, and the user needs to supply the random numbers to the project file
manufacturer. The project file manufacturer gets a dynamic number from " Password
Generator"(For more information, refer to "Password Generator ") , and tells the user
the password. The user can load project by inputting the password in the password
box.

4.1.2.2 Save Project Files

Save the current working environment into a specified project file. To ensure the security of the
data, you can encrypt the project file. NOTE: The project file name can be made of max 15
characters, and only be saved using the .prj extension. If the size of project file is larger than 4G
bytes, the project file will be cut into several parts, and the suffix is xxx.prj.part, xxx.prj.part0
… When used stand-alone, all these files are saved on SD card.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 31 -

Once check the box Enter protected mode after loading the project, a box of Protection mode
setting will come out. For more detailed information, please refer to Protection Mode Setting.

Dynamic Password: If the setting includes dynamic password, please save the password carefully.
(Please refer to Load Project File and Password Generator.)

4.1.2.3 Manage Project Library

The stand-alone operation is when the programmer hardware is not connected to a computer,
and uses information saved in its own module for volume production. The stand-alone file
includes all the information needed for programming the device. This enables the user to
prepare the project file(s) before starting the programmer's operation. The project file being
saved in the stand-alone mode will be manageable using Manage Project Library function. This
type of file can be stored in the SD card .
NOTE:
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 32 -

1) Besides using Manage Project Library function, user can also copy the project file(s) by SD
card replication;
2) SD card is the memory for SPIS03. So please ensure that SD card's file system must be FAT32.
The figure below shows a typical Manage Project Library window.

means the project is broken.

The project library size has something to do with SD card. So please

ensure the programmer hardware is connected with a computer and the
programmer has SD cards before operating.

Some basic commands related to the project file operation are:

• Send Project. This will send the existing project file(s) to the SD card. One can also
encrypt the SD card to protect the data.
• Delete Project. Delete the selected project in the SD card.

There are many SD card manufacturers in the market and the quality varies a lot across different
brands. The ones from KingstonTM, and SandiskTM are recommended. The operation speed at
High Speed Mode is much higher than at Low Speed Mode. Additionally, users can copy project
files to SD card directly by SD card reader. If there are many large project files need to be sent,
such as larger than hundreds M bytes, we recommend to copy the project file to SD with SD card
reader directly.

4.1.2.4 SD card Operation

SPIS03 enables the encryption of SD card. Some SD card encryption operations are,
• Set password. Set a 6-character password for a SD card. Once a SD card is protected by a
password, it becomes encrypted and needs the password for any operation.
• Unlock. To enter the correct password enables operation on the SD card when it is
connected on-line. However, if the SD card is off-line/disconnected, the user has to unlock it
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 33 -

again for any other operation.

• Erase Password. This operation actually wipes all the information that is stored in the SD
card and removes the password. After this, the SD card needs to be formatted as FAT32 for
being used on SPIS03 again.

Customers can run Erase Password command directly without running Unlock first if they want
to erase SD password. Additionally, some former SD cards maybe experience operation failure.
By these functions and volume setting, customers can strictly control the production volume in
stand-alone mode.

4.1.3 Device Menu

Before any operation, users must inform the programmer which device to be written so that it
can choose an algorithm according to the manufacturer and device name.

4.1.3.1 Device selection

Select Device dialogue includes Manufacturer, Device Name, Type, Ok button, Cancel button and
Search control item. How to select a device?
 Select an adapter from Adapter Mode. Normal, GANG-2, GANG-4 or ISP, if uncertain, please
select All. Users can confirm the adapter mode for the current chips by the right bottom icons.
 Select type from Type button. There are five types of devices, E/EPROM
(EPROM,EEPROM,FLASH, etc) ,PLD,B/PROM,DRAM/SRAM,MCU. If uncertain, please select All.
 Select a manufacturer from Manufacturer box.
 Select a device name from Device Name box, and then press OK button.
Maybe the printed name on the chips is different from the name in the Select Device box due
to other parameters such as speed, temperature, package, etc. Please ignore these
parameters or ask for help.
How to use Search Box: Due to large amount of devices and various names for chips, it will be
troublesome to select a device directly. At this time, Search box can help. By inputting several
key characters, the unrelated devices will be filtered a lot, and easily get the selected device.
For example, if we want to search 25 series FLASH, input 25 in the search box, and then all the
devices whose manufacturer name or device name include 25 will come out.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 34 -

Note: If the device name is shown in red, it means the device needs authorization.

4.1.3.2 Device information

 Device Key Information
 Manufacturer requirement
 Agreement for special devices. About operations, some devices have some
special requirements(or agreements), for example, data buffer arrangement,
explanation for special operations of devices, etc, besides basic ones. All the
information can be found in the Device Guidance Manual.
 Pin Connection. Connect programmer pins and the signals to be written
correctly according to the pin connection guidance. If multiple channels to be
programmed, please connect every chip with relative channel in order.

The device information will be shown in a window as following.

 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 35 -

4.1.3.3 Buffer
 Manage data in buffer

There are two major types of buffer, Fuse Buffer and Data Buffer (HEX/ASCII buffer). If the data
buffer is Fuse Buffer, enter the Fuse Buffer window; otherwise enter Data Buffer(HEX/ASCII
buffer) window. The following commands will be used to in the buffer operation:
<page Up> Move forward
<page Down> Move backward

In following section, the operation of these two types of buffer is described and a typical buffer
operation window is shown below.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 36 -

1. HEX/ASCII Data Buffer

Every address unit in buffer has 8 digits(one byte). The key TAB is used to switch between HEX
and ASCII. If needing to input the start address and end address, the end address must be larger
or equal to the start address.

• Locate. Enter the address of the data you wish to display in the Locate box and select OK
to quickly move the cursor to the desired location.

• Fill. Enter the Fill box, including three boxes of start address, end address, fill data and
two buttons of OK and Cancel. Input the data to fill, and specify the start address and end
address. For Fuse buffer, the data must be 0 or 1; and for Data Buffer (HEX/ASCII buffer) ,
the data must be Hex, such as AA,55, E4.

• Copy. Enter the Copy Buffer dialog box which includes three
boxes of start address, end address, new address and two buttons of
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 37 -

OK and Cancel. The data between the start address and end address
will be copied into the buffer starting with the new address.
• Radix. Within the address range, exchange the high bytes and
lower bytes according to the word width specified by users.

Suppose buffer address 0—10 (Hex) is:

12 34 56 78 90 AA BB CC – DD EE FF 11 22 33 44 55

The word width can be chosen as:

16Bits(2 bytes)，the data after exchanged is:

34 12 78 56 AA 90 CC BB – EE DD 11 FF 33 22 55 44

32Bits(4 bytes), the data after exchanged is:

78 56 34 12 BB CC 90 AA – 11 FF EE DD 55 44 33 22

64Bits(8 bytes), the data after exchanged is:

CC CC AA 90 78 56 34 12 – 55 44 33 22 11 FF EE DD

• Radix. Radix the display method for memory address: Hex and Dec.
• Search. Search for the specified character string or Hex number.
• Next Search. Search for the specified character string after the operation of Search.

2. Fuse Buffer
When you select Edit from the Buffer menu with the appropriate file type, the system opens the
Fuse Buffer Edit window, illustrated below.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 38 -

The data for editing is either 0 or 1. Refer to the data manual of the device and the JEDEC to
determine which of the following explanations for the data apply.
• 1 represents an intact fuse and 0 represents a blown fuse, or
• 1 represents a blown fuse and 0 represents an intact fuse

4.1.3.4 Device Configuration Word

Some single-chip microcomputers allow special working modes, such as the storage area
mapping, the watchdog time, the clock, or the encryption. Set these special modes through the
Device Configuration Word option. The user files contain the configuration words of some
devices. When you load these files, the system automatically loads the configuration words into
the configuration word buffer. However, you must select the configuration words for some
devices manually. The following sample illustration shows the configuration word for DALLAS
DS89C420. It contains the watchdog and three protection modes.

Some single-chip microcomputers include many items for the configuration word. The items may
appear on separate tabs or pages. Make sure to set all the items on all pages before programming
a chip. The input of the configuration word can be divided into several ways: the 8-bit (byte) edit
box input, the 16-bit (word) edit box input, The single choice input (select and deselect, choose
one out of two) , and the multiple choice input (choose one out of many) .

The configuration words for chip programming are classified into two categories:
• If the configuration word contains some protected items, then you cannot verify the
items after preparing the program. When preparing the program, the programmer
automatically shields the protected items and writes the other items. Select Security or
Protection to write the protected items. NOTE: If you select None as the Protection option,
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 39 -

the system does NOT carry out an operation when performing Security or Protection.
• In some devices, the configuration words cannot be separated, so the system does not
write the configuration word when preparing the program. To write the configuration word
in these cases, select the corresponding item, such as Write_Option.

Device configuration word varies with devices. Users should set configuration word wells by their
target system requirements and the Device Data Manual, otherwise the programmer cannot
work even if it can verify properly. Some FLASH devices also use the configuration word for the
protect operation and to execute and display the segment protection. Please refer to "Device
Operation Function Window".

Some devices can set erase segment. When erasing, just erase the specified segment set by the
user.

4.1.3.5 Operation Option

The operation option includes:

 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 40 -

 Insertion Test
When the chip has 48 pins or less than 48 pins (if more than 48 pins, a special adapter will change
the chip into a new chip with 48 pins or less than 48 pins), the programmer will execute insertion
test automatically before programming chips. Once something wrong with the insertion test, the
user can abort programming or retry the insertion test. Or the user can ignore the insertion test error
and program chips directly.
 Verify Mode
After programming a chip, to verify the written data right or not is necessary. According to a
manufacturer’s programming guidance, the verify voltage on the VCC pin has the following
changes:
VCC(+/- 5%) or VCC(+/- 10%) is adopted for the verification. If VCC = 5.00V,
select one of the following options:
• VCC = 5.00V and verify the data once
• VCC = 4.75V and VCC = 5.25V, and verify the data twice (+/- 5%)
• VCC=4.50V and VCC=5.50V, and verify the data twice (+/- 10%)
 Remove Interval/Insert Interval
The waiting period to remove/insert chips in production mode.

 Buffer
Users can choose to program only a part of the chip, such as with most E/EPROM (FLASH)
devices.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 41 -

Note:

1. Double check Buffer to set the operation address

2. When cancelling any buffer, it means the cancelled buffer will not be written this time.

• Dynamic Buffer

Sometimes one needs to write some special information at a local part on the chip, for example,
product series number, MAC address, etc. This software supplies two methods, Auto Increment
and User Defined. The former will automatically generate a new accumulative number, and the
latter will get a serial number from a user defined software.

To execute, the current serial number needs to be written at the specified continuous 8-bytes
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 42 -

area in buffer in the chip before any programming. Auto Increment needs to do the following
steps before working:
 Select Data area
 Start address
 End address
 Step, that is, Inc. Step
 Automatic serial number increment method: Starting from the start address,
increased by a byte(the maximum Dec number is 255), what value to reach will trigger
the tens digit or hundreds digit to increase.
 Increment direction
 Initial value

Here the "address" means the buffer address, and the start address is smaller than the end
address.

Binary: Start value 0, overflow value 255

ASCII Decimal: Start 30(Hex, character '0'), overflow 39+1(Hex, larger than character '9')
ASCII Hex: Start 30(Hex, character '0'), overflow 46+1(Hex, larger than character 'F'), and '9' plus
1 turns 'A'.

For example: One wants to program 64 chips. Their ID is from 0001 to 0064, and their location is
at EPROM end address of 89C51. If choosing 4 bytes of Decimal format, then the procedure is as
following:
Choose Auto Increment item, set the start address as FFC(Hex), end address as FFF(Hex). Data
will change since end address, and the start address must be larger than the end address.
Set the increment value as 1, and increase from higher address to lower address.
Set the format as ASCII Decimal. Enter the buffer window, make a change in ASCII area(Hex):
FFC: 30 FFD: 30 FFE: 30 FFF: 31
During the programming, the operation panel will display:
Current serial number: 0001
In the next programming, the last four buffer bytes will be:
FFC: 30 FFD: 30 FFE: 30 FFF: 31
If the programming operation succeeds, the serial number will increase by 1, and display:
Current serial number: 0002
The last four buffer bytes will be:
FFC: 30 FFD: 30 FFE: 30 FFF: 32

• User Designed Auto Increment

This function needs authorization. Users can change data at their will at the beginning or every
time their programming succeeds.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 43 -

 When programming, the software will record programming status parameters

automatically or by users' setting. By default, just 'Program' function is selected, and can change
default choices in this window.
 In Auto operation, only the chosen items included in the Auto can be executed.
Note:
1. The operation option will vary with devices. For example, most single-chip machines do not
permit users to change start/end address. Stand-alone mode does not support Auto Increment.
2. When GANG2, GANG4 or GANG16 are chosen, the General Property panel will display Adapter
Setting, all chosen by default. When any adapters are not chosen, programmer will not write
them, the interface LEDs turn grey and the programmer indicators will turn off.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 44 -
3. If the chosen devices belong to ISP type, the ISP property panel will show up.

Users can set the working voltage, programming voltage, clock frequency and speed.

4.1.3.6 Auto Programming

In the Operation panel, all devices have a basic operation: Auto. Its function is to put all other
operations in the Operation window together in order to be executed automatically as a batch.
For example, choose device EON EN25F80@SOP8, open Auto dialogue. On the left of the
dialogue, the Function List panel displays all the functions, and on the right the Auto panel lists all
the operations to be executed and the order.

Shown in the window above, Auto will execute Erase, BlankCheck, Program, Verify.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 45 -

 Add: Add the functions highlighted in the left Function List into the right Auto
list.
 Delete: Delete the functions highlighted in the right Auto window.
 Upward: Move up a step the function highlighted in the right Auto window.
 Downward: Move down a step the function highlighted in the right Auto
window.
 Reset: Set Auto as Default.

Double click the function in the left Function List, equals to add the function; double click the
function in the right Auto panel, equals to delete the function.

4.1.3.7 Verify Sum(Checksum)

For more details, please refer to Chapter 5, 5.3.

4.1.3.8 Data Comparison

Data Comparison: This function applies to most memories and single-chip machines. Taking a
byte as unit, compare the data in buffer with the data in the chip. When data are different, record
the address , buffer data and chip data in a log file and save it in the BIN folder. Users can find the
complete file name with reference information shown in the Operation panel.

Sample for data comparison.

There are seven differences totally, and the comparison result is saved at

Production mode is used to program a large amount of devices. ISP programmer will
automatically detect chip insertion or removal by the system expansion testing function(seen in
3.4), and finish programming. In this mode, if not supporting reminder comes out, it means the
chosen device cannot be written in production mode.

Recommendation: Choose devices, edit the Auto commands and test, choose production mode
after testing, run Auto, operate by the reminder shown in the Operation panel.

 "Please insert new chips...." reminds users to insert chips into the socket or the inserted
chips are not placed properly. When the chips are placed properly, the software will run Auto
immediately.
 "Please remove the programmed chips..." reminds users that the programming has
finished, please take away the chips from the socket. At the meantime, please read the
information in the Operation panel to check if the programming succeeds or fails. If needs to stop

Production mode, please click Production mode once again in the File menu, or in the
toolbar.

4.1.4.3 System Self-check

Users can check if the system hardware runs properly or not by running "Programmer"-->System
Self-Check.

Checking items include memory, pin driving, clock, etc. Note: When running System Self-Check,
no chips should be on the adapter.

4.3 Device Operation Window

All the operation options one device can run when programming are displayed in this window.
After finishing programming preparation, one can run relative operation by requirements. The
following is the operation interface for E0N EN25F80@S0P8.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 53 -

Different devices have different operation options. The following description is for most common
operation:

4.3.1 Auto
Its function is to organize the other functions in order and run them. Please refer to Menu Auto.

4.3.2 ReadID
Some chips have IDs, and users can check whether the IDs are right or not by running this
function. If not right, there two reasons:

1. The chips on the adapter are different from the chosen chips by customers;

2. Poor connection between the chip and the adapter or no chips inserted in the adapter.

4.3.3 Programming
Write the buffer data into chips. There are two methods to verify programming. The first one is to
verify while programming. Once something wrong happens, the programming will stop. So
finishing the programming process can ensure the programming right. The second one will not
verify while programming. Even if something wrong happens during programming, the system
will not stop. And after the last address is written, it will show programming success. In a word,
successful programming just means the process finishes, and the user should verify the result
separately.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 54 -

4.3.4 Read
Read chips and save into buffer.

Note:

1. As to encrypted chips, the system cannot read the encrypted part;

2. As to the chips with configuration word, the configuration word will be read out and
saved into the buffer;

3. As to PLD devices, their measuring vectors are not in the chips, so not readable.

4.3.5 Verify
Verify whether the chip data are different from the buffer data. Once something wrong happens
during verifying, the process will stop and show error message. The error message for most
memories and single-chip machines includes address and data; however, the error message for
PLD devices depends on programming material. Only the chips passing verification are
successfully written .Some chips do not supply unit to unit verification but only accumulative
verification similar to VerifyCRC. A very few chips do not supply verification functions even the
accumulative verification, but can be verified automatically during programming.

4.3.6 Blank_Check
To check if the chip is empty. The chip empty status is determined by data manual. If emptying
data buffer when changing devices, then after choosing devices, the HEX/ASCII buffer will be
filled with FF or 00(Hex) and fuse buffer will be filled with 1 or 0. Chips may show empty after
encrypted. EEPROM(the recoverable chips) do not need empty check.

How to make one chip empty?

1) Electrically erase chips by executing Erase

2) Erase chips by UV light for 3 - 30 minutes

3) Program chips at one time(OTP). Never empty after writing

4.3.7 Erase
Erase chips and make them empty. Only the electronically erasable chips apply. It is not necessary
for EEPROM(recoverable chips). If EEPROM needs to be empty, write empty data into the chips.
Some electronically erasable chips can set whole or a part as OTP chips by setting configuration
word. Please read data manual carefully.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 55 -

4.3.8 Protect
1) Encryption makes chips unreadable. Whether encryption status can be read affects how to edit
chip functions. If the encryption status is unreadable, encryption function will be written directly
into the Operation panel. Once executing encryption function, chips will be encrypted. If
encryption status is readable, the configuration word will list None and all encryption choices for
users to choose. Executing the encryption function, the chips will be operated by the
configuration word. Especially, if None is chosen, executing the encryption function means empty
operation.

Reminder: Some chips with windows are not reusable once completely encrypted even if erased
by UV light.

2) As to FLASH chips, this operation will protect the data in chips. The chips cannot be
programmed before removing the protection. Note: Erasing can remove protection.

This function should combine with device configuration word (Dev.Config) to determine the
sector to protect. There are two ways to choose sectors to protect. The first one is to permit
users to give the addresses for eight sector groups. Each sector group can contain many sectors,
and all the given addresses will be protected after executing this function. The other one is to set
the chip sectors as a prescribed plan.

4.3.9 Security:
Same with Protect, but the chip cannot be read.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 56 -

4.3.10 Erase_All:
Same with Erase.

4.3.11 Protect_All:
Same with Protect .

4.3.12 Lock_Bit: One Encryption Method

For more information, please refer to data manual. For example to operate Atmel At89c51, there
are three operations: Lock_Bit1, Lock_Bit12 and Lock_Bit123. For more details, please refer to
data manual.

4.3.13 Device Data Manual

4.3.14 Device Special Information(Dev.Information)

Ask for technical support to Xeltek.

Note: Such operations as Protect, Security, Erase and Lock_Bit depend on specific device
desitions.

4.4 Operation Panel

The interface between programmer software and users displays device
information, buffer, data and log information for the current module.

Note：Normally, chip Checksum will be the sum of total or partial buffer

verification sums, and the algorithm is determined by users. For more details,
please refer to Checksum.

programmer is still working, and the grey light represents no current connection or some units in
adapters are forbidden.

The indicator layout is consistent with adapter units. For example, if using GANG4 and 2*2
adapter layout, the indicator area should be as following:

5. Record the numbers of success or failure. The rule by default is:1) Running Program, if
succeeding, the number of success increase 1, otherwise the number of failure will increase 1. 2)
Running Auto and operation Program in Auto, if succeeding, the number of success increase 1,
otherwise the number of failure will increase 1.

Button Reset will make the number of success and the number of failure to 0.

6. Set Countdown
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 58 -
Set as following:

When the countdown value is larger than 0, trigger counting function. Reduce 1 when
programming succeeds once until 0.The countdown function is to control the programming
times in production mode. For example, one can input 1000, and then when 1000
programming finish, it will stop. When in stand-alone production mode, input the programming
number and save as project file. Now the project file contains production control information.
If encrypting the SD cards, the production control will be more efficient.

7. Simple reminder for current status and programming progress

8. If a serial number is set for the module, the serial number will be displayed.

4.6 General Statistics Panel

When in multiple programmers mode, the general statistics panel will come out, displaying the
failure/success information for all modules.

Chapter 5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You can monitor the programmer operations through the Operation Information Window and
message window. This chapter helps define common problems related to programmer actions
and errors.

5.1 Data File

How to use the File Type dialog box will be discussed here in details.

5.1.1 Intel Hex, Motorola and Tektronix

The data for programming is usually stored in the data file. Commonly used formats are Intel
Hex, Motorola and Tektronix. The files of these formats keep data in text mode, which include
data and address information. Because the offset address is not always zero, you may incur
errors when loading the file directly. For example, the location of data in buffer (as viewed in the
Edit Buffer window) may be incorrect or you may receive an error message when loading the file,
such as Invalid file type, or all file data overflow. Select one of the following options to solve this
problem.
• Confirm the file type and ensure the buffer can load all the files.
• Find the minimum offset address of the file. After selecting the file, software will scan
the file automatically and write the minimum offset Address.

5.1.2 Separate File Data for Programming

By using the File Load Mode selection in the File Type dialog box, you can select the data of a file
and write it into several chips of the same type. This allows you to load the file several times
according to your needs. There are three methods for separating the file data:

• Based on byte (8bit), divide the file into two parts by the odd and even address.
Program the two parts into two chips respectively. When loading the file, select Even as the
File Mode to write the data in the addresses 0,2,4,6, etc. to one chip. Select Odd as the File
mode to write the data at the address 1,3,5,7, etc. to the other chip.

• Based on the byte (8-bit), divide the file into four parts by address of the first byte, the
second byte, the third byte and the fourth byte out of every four bytes. Program the four
parts into four chips respectively. When loading the file, select the 1st byte of 4 as the File
Mode to write the data in the addresses 0, 4, 8, 12 (or C if HEX), etc. to one chip. Then select
2nd byte of 4, 3rd byte of 4, and finally 4th byte of 4 to write the remaining data to the
other three chips.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 60 -

• Based on the word (16-bit), divide the file into two parts by address of the first two
bytes and the last two bytes out of every four bytes. Program the two parts to two chips
respectively.

5.1.3 Program Two or More Files to One Chip

Users can load several files into a buffer and write them to a chip. The following explanation
gives an example of programming three files (Sample1, Sample2, and Sample3) to one chip.
Write Sample 1 data from address 200(Hex) into address 0 in the chip, Sample 2 data from
address 0(Hex) into address 3000(Hex) in the chip, and Sample 3 data from address 4000(Hex)
into address 4000(Hex) in the chip.
1. Select Edit from the Buffer menu. Make sure that the Buffer clear on data load option is
not checked.
2. Select Load from the File menu to load the Sample1 file.
o In the Buffer Start Address field, enter 0.
o In the File Start Address field, enter 200.
3. Select Load from the File menu to load the Sample2 file.
o In the Buffer Start Address field, enter 3000.

4. Select Load from the File menu to load the Sample3 file.
o In the Buffer Start address field, enter 4000.
o In the File Start Address field, enter 4000.
5. Continue with programming.

If there are no changes in the file requirements or content of the three files (Sample1, Sample2,
and Sample3), you can save the data in buffer to a new file, such as Sample4, for easily loading
and programming next time.

5.1.4 POF Format Files

When programming ALTERA PLD devices, the system saves the data in POF format files. When
loading a POF Format file, the system displays a File Type dialog box.
Select one of the following:
1. POF file: The system transforms the data into the Fuse data and checks the
data when you load it to the buffer. You may receive one of the following
errors:
 Unmatched file to this chip: This POF file does not match this chip. The POF file is
related to the device when it is compiled. The error indicates that this POF file is not for
this device. Replace the chip with a matched one.
 The POF file has errors.
 Load POF file dll error (not found): An auxiliary file has errors. Contact technical
support for assistance.
2. Files of other formats are mainly the JED files. The system saves data in the buffer in a JED
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 61 -

file after reading the chip. You can use this format the next time you load the file.

5.2 Adapter Selection

How to get adapter?

Please refer to Device Information(Dev.Info). Take TSOP48 as a sample: The adapter is on a

programmer driven by 144pin, and its order number is EX1004.

Note: Please order Xeltek original adapters to use here; otherwise some online errors may
happen.

5.3 Verify Sum(CHECKSUM)

When the data type in buffer is HEX/ASCII, by default the verification and calculation will
accumulate all the data from address 0 to the maximum with byte as unit. In order to meet
customers’ special requirements, accumulate the data from partial or whole address by a
specified method.
 ®
SUPERPRO IS03 User Guide - 62 -

1） Select the buffer to calculate

2） Set calculation range, double click the start address and end address.
3） Select calculation type: byte accumulation, word accumulation, （large end
alignment or small end alignment）, PLD calculation method
4） Take the original code, reverse code, or completion code of the calculation result as
the final result
5） Display the CHECKSUM of this buffer
6） Set the buffer to calculate CHECKSUM
7） Accumulate all buffer CHECKSUM, and take the original code, reverse code, or
completion code of the accumulation sum as the final result
8） Chip CHECKSUM
9） Whether to hide the CHECKSUM on the main interface

5.4 Programmer Panel Style

SPIS03 supplies two styles. Normal style programmer panel contains programmer ID, current
device, statistics information, etc, and the precise style only displays serial number, status, and
operation buttons. The following shows the interface at precise style for four programmers
connected in parallel.

5.5 Beacon Layout

When the chip layout on the target board is different from the software default beacon layout,
adjust the beacon layout to make the software beacon layout same with the chip layout on the
target board.

Click menu Beacon Layout, the following dialogue will come out:

Check User Defined Layout, set the column and row for the target board, and then set the
corresponding device number on the target board, for example 3x3.

After confirmation, arrange the beacon by users' set.

SUPERPRO IS03 Stand-alone Operation Specification

1. Overview

Insert SD card into the programmer, turn it on, press any key on the programmer keyboard, and then the
programmer will run in the stand-alone mode. If message NO SD FOUND comes out, please check if SD card
inserted properly, and then restart again.
Basic Features
 Ultra high programming speed. The period to program and verify a 64Mb NOR FLASH is just 11.3
seconds.
 One built-in CPU, 6 keys membrane keyboard, 20X4 LCD display, and SD card socket.
 Up to 96 universal drive circuit, universal adapter, support E/EPROM, FLASH, single-chip machines,
PLD, SRAM testing with voltage low to 1.5V
 A production mode programmer has an exclusive automatic testing pin. Once a high voltage is detected,
AUTO will run automatically.
 To ensure the reliability of data resource file, one can choose functions such as running CHECKSUM or
forbidding reading by needs.
 Project management: Operation is very simple. It can set two protections by both SD card and project
file encryption.

2. Refresh Algorithm Library

Stand-alone operation must equip SD cards. All record related to stand-alone operation is saved in the format of
PROJECT. Project contains device type, data file, device configuration word setting, AUTO batch command
series, etc. In a word, one can start working once choosing Project from the menu after opening his/her
computer. Building a Project file must be done in online mode and saved into SD cards (or download to SD
card by card-reader). The reason why to do so is to simplify stand-alone operation to avoid production loss by
wrong operation. The project number for a SD card to save is just limited by SD card size. When building or
downloading a project file library, if the library is bigger than the size a SD card can take, the software will give
reminder message. At this time, reduce the number of project files or exchange a bigger SD card. For more
information about how to build or download the project file library, please refer to Library of Standalone Mode
in Online chapters.

3. Menu

Keyboard Rule
ENTER Choose and enter sub-menu
EXIT Quit to upper menu
Up，Down Up/ down roll to choose function. Change the address when BUFFER displays

， Choose address when BUFFER displays

1．RUN

Finish all operations in this menu. There are some different functions for various devices, but the common
functions are as following:
AUTO Execute User Defined AUTO（Set when building the Project）
READID Check chip ID
PROGRAM Write the BUFFER data into a chip
READ Download chip data into BUFFER (SD card).
（Note: Only valid when READ OPTION is activated and will change the project file data.)
BLANK CHECK Check whether the chip is empty
VERIFY Compare whether the written data in chips same with the BUFFER data
ERASE Erase the chip
SECURE Encrypt the chips, LOCK/MEMORY PROTECT have the same function
with it
LCD Row 4 will display the running result. “－”represents the inactivated units (channels), "O" means
succeeding units (channels), and “X” shows failing units (channels). For example, OOOX represents Channel
1，2，3 succeeded, and Channel 4 failed; OOO
means Channel 1，2，3 succeeded, and Channel 4 was inactivated. (That is, Channel 4 was not chosen.)
2．SELECT PROJECT

Select the project saved in the SD card. Using the up or down buttons to select the corresponding project after
entering. Once entering again, automatically download the algorithm and data of the selected project. Save the
selection result automatically after choosing type every time, and run directly without selecting again next time
to restart your computer.
3．SETTING

1 ）READ OPTION
es or No after entering. By default, it is No. This
function will change the initial project file, must be careful to use. However, it can’t change the saved initial
data file CHECKSUM, so the CHECKSUM error message will come out.
2 ）AUTO CHECKSUM
Activat
automatically checksum before executing RUN. By default, it is No.
3）PIN CHECK DISABLE

check pin automatically before operating chips. Once activated, it will not run pin check.
4）BUZZER

4．BUFFER

1）CHECK SUM
Calculate Buffer CHECKSUM, and compare with the CHECKSUM saved in the current project. If different,
display the two CHECKSUM at the same time. Both physical and man-made reasons can make CF card data
destroyed, and make the written chips disabled. So recommend running CHECKSUM at last once before any
operation after restarting the computer, or run it automatically. Please refer to the following AUTO
CHECKSUM.
2） Display BUFFER
Display BUFFER. Th

successively once pressing ENTER.

3） Display BUFFER 1
Display BUFFER1. Same operation with Display BUFFER.
5 . PRODUCTION MODE

The programmer will monitor the socket status after entering. Once a chip is inserted and contacts stably, the
programmer will run the user defined AUTO automatically.
6. STATISTIC

Display the programming statistics data, including successful times and failure times.
