1. UST Research Inc Version 1 2 November 1 2004 EPROMER Device Programmer User s Manual General Description The EPROMER programmer allows the user to program eprom eeprom and flash chips when the unit is connected to a common PC This Device is to be used for small to medium programming quanti ties for hobby or industry applications The on board electronics allows the device to communicate with a PC parallel port for all programming sequencies and algoritms The on board switching voltage convertion is able to generate the most common Programming Voltages 12 5V 21V or 25Vde based on simple DC adapter from 7Vdc to 12Vdc 300mA The small size and low power consume makes the Epromer ideal for bench or portable application Its low cost is perfectly fit for most of the users that can not afford expensive units even that the Epromer does exactly the same job In an emergency this unit can run on a fresh 9V battery for more than 60 minutes of operation The Epromer is driven by a Windows Program and runs under Win dows98 Windows98SE WindowsME Windows2000 and WindowsXP platforms The program is updated in regular bases as soon we incorporate more devices in the list of selection or provide better features or minor corrections available for download at http www ustr net epromer Absolute Maximum Rates Maximum power supply DC Jack Voltage 12Vdc Average current consume 60 to 70mA Operation Tempe2. 5 270801 m 295040 g 29F040 27051 970128 ZS 270256 B 7 92 21 0512 mem PIN 16 a ee Gee R EPROMER Device Programmer User s Manual O 0000000000000 O 000000000000 00000000 222 I n OUDON 7 oa NAN USA Main Facility Florida Universal Solution Technology Research Inc 6220 S Orange Blossom Trail 603 Orlando Florida 32809 http www ustr net Support support ustr net Sales sales ustr net JENUEYN SJOSN HHNOHd3
