Xeltek SA404 28-pin SOP Programmer Adapter

The Xeltek SA404 is a 28-pin SOP/SOIC programmer adapter from Xeltek's SA series, for the 48-pin-driver SuperPro programmers including the SuperPro M. Xeltek's device lists assign it to SOIC28 parts such as the AMD AM2817A and to smaller SOIC16 and SOIC24 parts such as the Altera EPCS16 and EP610. It is for off-board programming of loose SOIC and SOP parts on the bench: legacy PLDs, configuration devices and serial flash during repair, rework and small production runs.

28-Pin SOP and SOIC Device Support

The SA404 is a 28-pin SOP socket. Xeltek's SuperPro device lists also place 16-pin and 24-pin SOIC devices on it, so one adapter covers a mix of package lengths: Altera EPCS16SI16 and EPCS64SI16 configuration devices (SOIC16), Altera EP600, EP610 and EP630 PLDs (SOIC24), AMD AM25FL016A and AM25FL032A serial flash (SOIC16), AMIC A25L040 and A25L080 (SOP16), and the AMD AM2817A EEPROM (SOIC28). Xeltek's own SuperPro M device list names the SA404 for the same parts, including the Altera EPCS128 (SOIC16) and Atmel AT17 configuration PROMs (SOIC20). Some ABOV MC80F microcontrollers in SOP16 to SOP28 are listed as "SA404+B003", meaning Xeltek specifies a bottom board, B003, alongside the adapter.

Which SuperPro Programmers Take SA Adapters

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. Of the programmers we sell, the SuperPro M is the one that takes SA adapters. For the 144-pin SuperPro 6000 and 6000E, Xeltek lists the CX series; the CX1033 28-pin SOIC28 adapter is a CX-series option for that package, discontinued by Xeltek; replacement CX1036.

Specifications

What's Supplied

The SA404 top board with its 28-pin socket, which is how Xeltek's device list defines the SA404 purchase number. Where a device entry reads SA404+B003, Xeltek lists the B003 bottom board as a separate purchase number.

Limitations

• Xeltek lists the CX series, not SA, for the SuperPro 6000 and 6000E.
• Some devices are listed as SA404+B003; the B003 bottom board is a separate Xeltek part. Check the adapter string for your part in the SuperPro software.
• Body width and socket style are not published on Xeltek's site for the SA404. Send us the part number if your package is a wide-body variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the SA404 Program 16-Pin and 24-Pin SOIC Devices?

Yes, for the parts Xeltek assigns to it. Its device lists place SOIC16 parts such as the Altera EPCS16 and SOIC24 parts such as the Altera EP610 on the SA404.

Answered by John Legg, Director, Debug Store

Does the SA404 Work with the SuperPro 6000 or 6000E?

Xeltek does not list it for them. Xeltek assigns CX adapters to the SuperPro 6000 and 6000E; the CX1033, or its replacement the CX1036, covers 28-pin SOIC on those programmers.

Answered by John Legg, Director, Debug Store

What Is the B003 Shown with Some SA404 Devices?

A bottom board that Xeltek lists alongside the SA404 for certain devices, for example ABOV MC80F microcontrollers. It is a separate Xeltek part code, so check the full adapter string for your device in the SuperPro software and ask us about the B003 if your device lists it.
