CPI2-B1 – Single-channel in-system device programmer
In-System Device Programmer
The CPI2-B1 device programmer belongs to the ChipProg-ISP2 family of Phyton in-system production device programmers, designed for use with ATE, ICT, programming fixtures and automated handlers. It can also be used for development, and in stand-alone mode for field service. CPI2-B1 can be used for programming microcontrollers, flash memory and programmable logical devices.
Use of some CPI2-B1 programming features requires purchasing additional software licenses:
-
The CPI2-ACI license is tied to the programmer's hardware and enables remote control via DLL and other options.
-
CPI2-D-XXXX target-specific Device Driver Library licenses enable programming support for a certain group of devices.
The price of a device programmer is the total of prices of hardware and optional licenses: CPI2-ACI and target-specific
Device Driver Library license(s).
Prices for online ordering and references are published in the catalog.

In a process of programming allows powering target equipment from external sources.
-
When powered from an external power adapter (5V@1A), CPI2-B1 can provide Vcc (1.2 to 5.5V @ up to 350mA) and Vpp (1.2 to 15V @ up to 80mA) voltages for the target equipment.
Software Features
-
Supports loading and saving files in all popular formats.
-
Unlimited number of data buffers can be open simultaneously.
-
Arithmetic operations on data blocks in buffers.
-
Programmable serialization of target devices.
-
Multiple serialization algorithms, including script-controlled ones.
-

-
Comprehensive self-test and diagnostic procedures.
Target Interface Signals
-
Equipped with a 20-pin "TARGET" connector and supplied with a 10" ribbon cable with compatible 20-pin headers.
-
Ten target-specific logic inputs/outputs with 1.2 to 5.5V levels, individually programmable as I/O, GND or Vcc.
-
For stable programming the above ten signal lines are interspersed with GND wires.
-
Two inputs/outputs individually programmable as TTL logic I/O, GND, or Vcc or Vpp.
Signals for Interfacing with External Equipment
-
TTL-level input and output logic signals for interfacing with external equipment are available at the 20-pin "CONTROL" connector. The signals include:
-
start/stop signal;
-
output status signals: BUSY, GOOD and ERROR;
-
six inputs for selection of one of the 64 pre-loaded projects;
-
one low-current TTL logic voltage output that can be used for driving the above project selection inputs;
-
three GND lines.
-
Use of CPI2-ISO board insures galvanic isolation of all control signals on the "CONTROL" connector.
-
When using CPI2-BB option, the connector provides power for charging the battery but other "CONTROL" signals become unavailable for use.
