Overview
FlashRunner FR01AT0 Block Diagram
FlashRunner FR01AT0 is a member of the FlashRunner
I Series of universal, standalone in-system
programmers specific for Flash-based microcontrollers
and serial memories. FlashRunner FR01AT0 is
targeted at production environments and can
work either in full standalone mode or controlled
by a host system. FlashRunner FR01AT0 is specifically
designed for an easy integration with all in-circuit
and functional test systems (ATEs), like Agilent,
Teradyne, SPEA, Genrad, TRI and others. A relay
circuitry allows each of the FlashRunner ISP
lines to be independently disconnected from
the target system, routing I/O lines coming
from the ATE system to the target system instead.
Main Features
- Fastest programming algorithms (as fast
as target device’s memory technology
limit), approved by silicon manufacturers;
- Easy ATE integration;
- Standalone operations (projects and code
images stored on a memory card);
- Controllable by ATE through optoisolated
LAN, RS-232 or parallel control lines;
- Multiplexing on ISP lines coming from ATE
or FlashRunner to the fixture;
- Flexible, fully configurable;
- Compact and robust design for production
environments.
Advanced Features
- Galvanic isolation (relay disconnection)
for all I/O ISP lines;
- Data retention guranteed thanks to power
and current monitoring during programming;
- Power voltage monitoring has programmable
threshold and pulse width;
- Over-current monitoring on programmable
power supply lines.
Hardware Specifications
FlashRunner FR01AT0 features state-of-the-art
electronics to provide you with high integration
flexibility in a compact footprint.
- 9 to 24V power supply input;
- Galvanic isolation (relay disconnection)
with shield to fixture for all I/O ISP lines:
- Five digital I/O lines
- Two digital I/O or analog output lines
- Two programmable output voltages
- One analog input line
- One programmable clock output
- Secure Digital memory card (up to 2 GB);
- 512 bytes on-board dynamic memory;
- On-board timekeeper and calendar for time-stamped
log file;
- Three optoisolated command inputs (START,
STOP, RELAY);
- Three optoisolated status outputs (FAIL,
PASS, BUSY);
- Five project selection lines;
- Optoisolated RS-232/Ethernet channels.
FlashRunner's open architecture makes its
firmware easily upgradable to support both new
devices and new features.
Software Features
FlashRunner Control Panel
FlashRunner Matrix is set up and controlled
via ASCII-based commands. FlashRunner can receive
and execute commands in two ways:
- Over the RS-232 or Ethernet connection
(Host mode);
- Via "scripts" stored in its SD
card (Standalone mode).
In the first case, FlashRunner is controlled
by a host system (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal);
in the latter case, FlashRunner works in standalone
mode and is fully autonomous.
- Fully autonomous standalone mode thanks
to SD memory card (FAT16);
- Controllable by any host system through
a terminal utility and simple ASCII protocol;
- 32 hardware-selectable and unlimited software-selectable
projects;
- Interface Library DLL to control the instrument
from within user written applications;
- Optional Data Protection System to make
the contents of the binary file to be programmed
to the target device not readable (and not
duplicable) by non-authorized people
- Time-stamped log files;
- Erase, blank check, program, read, verify,
oscillator trimming, etc.
FlashRunner comes with a Windows utility that
allows you to communicate with the instrument
and perform the most common operations: send
commands, manage SD card files, update the instrument's
firmware, etc.
