Programmers / IC and RAM Testers
Universal device programmers support a wide variety of programmable devices. They are used to program new chips as well as copy chips for backup and repair. Universal programmers support PROMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, Flash Memory, PAL, GAL, EPLD, CPLD, FPGA, Microcontrollers, and more. These devices are powerful, versatile, and simple to use. Some are also capable of testing ICs.
IC testers are used to test integrated circuits. They are used to test a wide range of ICs, including TTL and CMOS logic ICs, as well as test dynamic memory and statistic memory. These functions allow users to detect defective ICs. One of the common uses is quality assurance in manufacturing.
EPROM Erasers are also available. They are high intensity UV lamps that efficiently erase EPROM chips in approximately 7 to 15 minutes. These small, durable devices contain a conductive foam pad to protect the chips from harmful electrostatic charges. Also, a UV light indicator and safety interlock switch prevent the user from accidental exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
RAM testers are used to check RAM (Random Access Memory) on devices such as computers. These testers are easy to use as well as affordable and portable. They can be used on a variety of devices.
