Optima User Manual

System Overview

As a peripheral to your PC, the programmer utilizes the RAM, CPU, and disk drives

in your computer for user interface and data exchange. The programmer comes with

its own power supply (internal or external) and timing circuits for accurate generation

of programming signals.

Standard Features

Standard features of the Optima programmers include:

High Pin Count: Up to 84 pins. Standard 48 pin (300/600 mil) DIP socket

supports devices from 8-48 pins. Additional pin drivers, if required, reside in

the individual TOPs.

Universal ASIC Pin Drivers: These provide precise digital and analog

signals on every pin. Controlled rise times and advanced noise suppression

circuitry assure high quality, reliable programming.

Quick Response: Single keystroke operation and instantaneous file load

times make Optima both quick to learn and easy to use.

Device Support: PROMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, PLDs, EPLDs, EEPLDs,

GALs, FPLAs, IFLs, MCUs, Flash and more in 3 and 5 volt technologies, and

in various package types.

PC Peripheral: Optima uses the computer’s existing RAM, Disk, Keyboard

and Display to provide maximum price/performance.

Relay Power/Ground: Optimal noise-free device power for highest yields.

Fast Clock: Fast rise times (3 ns) allow reliable vector testing.

State Machine Waveform Generation: Internal crystal controlled state-

machine ensures accurate programming waveforms not dependent on PC

timing.

Full Screen Menus: These make the Optima easy to learn and operate.

Customize User Interface Option: All input commands can be executed

from a batch file, or via a network or multitasking Windows environment, on

a local or remote PC.

x Optima User Manual

To prepare the Optima programmer for use, remove all the components from the

packaging material and verify that they are in good repair.

Connecting the Programmer to Your Computer

Connect the programmer to your computer by following these steps:

1. Make sure that both the computer and programmer power switches are turned

OFF.

2. Connect one end of the parallel cable to the port on the rear of the programmer.

3. Connect the other end of the parallel cable to the parallel port of your computer.

If your computer has more than one parallel port, any empty port may be used.

Note: Some parallel ports have hardware characteristics that may

cause problems communicating with the programmer. If you

see the message “Found slow printer port” during

installation, install the Optima-Booster supplied with your

programmer. Follow the instructions “Installing the

Optima-Booster for a Slow Printer Port.”
