Introduction
What Is AutoSite?
The AutoSite Automated Production Programmer is designed
specifically for use with device handlers in a production environment.
AutoSite employs “pin driver at the pin” technology, which allows the
pin drivers to be as close to the device as possible.
AutoSite supports virtually every programmable memory, logic, and
microcontroller device in DIP, PLCC, and most SOIC packages. Device
support is available through use of different programming modules, each
of which is designed for a specific package type and device pin count.
With programming modules, you can customize device support to suit
your specific programming needs and budget.
AutoSite is composed of two main pieces: the control unit and the pin
driver head. The control unit contains the disk drive, the serial ports, the
power supply, and the circuitry that generates control signals that are
sent to the pin driver head. The pin driver head receives the control
signals from the control unit and generates the voltages necessary to
program a device.
AutoSite comes in two configurations: support for up to 88 pins, with
8MB of RAM; and support for up to 44 pins, with 8MB of RAM. The 44-
pin configuration can easily be upgraded to the 88-pin configuration.

Note: If you purchased a ProMaster system, the control unit will already be
installed in the handler.
If you purchased a non-ProMaster system, you should have received a
handler interface kit from your handler manufacturer. See the
documentation supplied with the interface kit for more information and for
a list of the kit’s contents.
