Xeltek SuperPro-M

The Xeltek SuperPro M is a USB 2.0 universal programmer with 48 universal pin drivers, supporting over 20,000 devices from 158 manufacturers, including EPROM, parallel and serial EEPROM, NOR flash, SPLD and CPLD parts and microcontrollers. It programs devices with Vcc as low as 1.2V, verifies at Vcc plus or minus 5% and 10%, and ships with a DIP48 adapter. It suits development benches and small production runs that program loose chips from a PC.

48 Universal Pin Drivers and 20,000+ Supported Devices

All 48 pins of the SuperPro M are universal pin drivers, so one programmer covers memory, programmable logic and MCU families with package adapters rather than device-specific programmers. Xeltek lists support for EPROM, paged EPROM, parallel and serial EEPROM, FPGA configuration PROM, NOR flash, BPROM, NVRAM, SPLD, CPLD, EPLD, Firmware Hub, microcontrollers and standard logic. Programming uses manufacturer-approved algorithms, and the programmer has over-current and over-voltage protection.

DIP devices up to 48 pins go straight into the supplied DIP48 adapter; the device list shows no adapter code against them. Other packages, from PLCC and SOIC to TSOP, QFP and BGA, use Xeltek's device-independent SA-series socket adapters, sold separately. Xeltek lists the SA series for its 48-pin-driver SuperPro programmers: the SuperPro 610P and 611S, and older models including the SuperPro M, 601S, 600P, 501S, 500P, 3000U, 580U and 280U. The SuperPro M device list calls up, for example, the SA001A family for PLCC20 (the device list names the SA001A-B2001 variant), SA008A for PLCC28, SA015A1T for PLCC32, SA244 for PLCC44 and SA404 (listed for the EPCS16 in SOIC16). Check your device entry for the adapter it names before ordering.

Programming Times Measured by Xeltek

Xeltek publishes program plus verify times for the SuperPro M against its older SP3000U.

Production Mode, Projects and Serial Numbers

In Production Mode the SuperPro M starts the chip operation automatically as soon as a device is inserted, so an operator only swaps parts. A project combines device selection, file loading, configuration and batch settings into one step, and can be password protected with production volume control. The Batch command runs program, verify and security operations in any order. Standard or customer-specific serial number generators write a unique value to each part, and a log file records results for quality tracking.

Specifications

Limitations

• PC hosted only: there is no stand-alone mode. The SuperPro 6000E and SuperPro 6000 run stand-alone with 144-pin drivers.
• Xeltek lists the SuperPro M in its Legacy Programmer Download Center, with the last software release dated 26/02/2014. Do not expect new device support.
• Only the DIP48 adapter is included. Every other package needs a socket adapter.
• In-system programming needs an optional ISP/ICP adapter. For production ISP of soldered parts, the SuperPro IS01 is the dedicated tool.

Typical Applications

Reprogramming AT28C64B parallel EEPROMs, one of the devices in Xeltek's SuperPro M speed table. Reading and programming PLCC32 flash such as the AM29F010A on the SA015A1T for repair or legacy board support. Programming PIC16F876A or AT89C55WD microcontrollers in small batches with Production Mode and serial numbers.

The SuperPro M suits development and repair benches that program loose devices from a PC and want an economy universal programmer, as Xeltek positions it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the SuperPro M Run Without a PC?

No. It is PC hosted over USB 2.0. For stand-alone operation, choose the SuperPro 6000E or SuperPro 6000.

Answered by John Legg, Director, Debug Store

Which Chips Can I Program Without Buying an Adapter?

DIP devices up to 48 pins. They sit in the supplied DIP48 adapter, and the device list shows no adapter code against them. PLCC, SOIC, TSOP, QFP, BGA and other packages need the socket adapter named in the device list.

Answered by John Legg, Director, Debug Store

Will Xeltek Add New Devices to the SuperPro M?

Do not plan on it. Xeltek lists the SuperPro M as a legacy programmer, and its last software release is dated 26/02/2014. Check that your parts are on the current device list.

Answered by John Legg, Director, Debug Store

Does the SuperPro M Support Low-Voltage Devices?

Yes. It programs devices with Vcc as low as 1.2V and can verify at Vcc plus or minus 5% and 10%.
