GENERAL
-
TopMax is a software expandable universal device programming
workstation that supports a wide variety of programmable devices
in addition to the capability of testing digital ICs.
-
The TopMax
is the most sophisticated low-cost programmer available today.
-
A
unique hardware/software architecture enables TopMax to easily grow
in support and engineering software design capabilities as quickly
as your device library requirement.
-
The state-of-art universal programmer
offers you the most advanced programming facilities with the user-friendliest
interface.
-
Since each pin is software
addressable, new part numbers
are being added to the list of supported devices through software
upgrades. No new hardware to buy! It will prove to be one of the
most reliable and long lasting instruments.
-
There is also an optional
ROM emulator module that supports devices up to 4-Mbit.

HARDWARE
-
TopMax features a 48-pin universal pin driver and an expandable
TTL pin driver. This special technology allows you to control the
programmers pin switches, so each pin can supply Vcc, Vpp, or
GND.
Pins can also be configured for TTL high/low levels with pull-high/pull-low,
high-speed clock and tri-state. This advanced pin design lets you
program any DIP devices up to 48 pins without an adapter. It also
ensures the support full rang of today and future devices on the
market.

SOFTWARE
-
The great advantage of TopMax is its superior software.
TopMax is controlled via a host personal computer.
The operating software has a user-friendly interface that includes
window type pull-down menus, macro facility for batch file execution,
and virtual memory management to deal with very large files.
-
The TopMax software can read output from most compilers in POF or
JEDEC format such as CUPL, PALASM, OPAL, and ABEL.
It includes test vector capability, multi-array fuse map editor,
and DOS shell handling utilities, file format handler.
-
In order to ensure continuous high performance, the control software
is equipped with a diagnostic routine performing self-test and diagnosis
of drivers of all 48 pins.

Package support
- The TopMax universal pin
driver capability lets it program all 48-pin DIP devices
without DIP-to-DIP adapters, including all single-chip
Microcontrollers.
-
The market, however, offers many choices besides DIP devices, such
as PLCCs, SOPs, TSOPs, QFPs, and SOICs.
The TopMax universal pin driver not only eliminates the need of
programming modules but also reduce the number of converters
required,
reducing your cost for future expansion.
-
A single 44-pin PLCC adapter lets it program all 44 pin PLCC
devices.

SOFTWARE
-
The TopMaxs menu-driven software is easy to use. Menu selections
are made using cursor keys, a single character, or a hot key
(F1..F12)
to invoke commands and submenus. Selecting the exact algorithm for
the device you want to program is easy.
-
As you type a device in the menu, the screen constantly changes to
show you all the known devices that match your selection.
For example, as you type 27256, the screen shows all 27256 devices
and lets you scroll through the list showing each manufacturer, part
number, and suffix.

-
Pressing the ENTER key installs the chosen algorithms and you are
ready to program, read, verify, or blank check the part.
Pressing F4 will give you more details on the device including
manufacturer, ID, Vcc, Vpp, number of pins, and adapter order number if your part
is not standard the DIP type.
-
The CONFIG allows you to specify different programming
options.
Setting the configuration options properly, the operation of TopMax
will assist your application needs.
