FlashRunner Quattro Series
True Parallel In-System Programmers
 
Universal, Fast, Flexible, Reliable
 
  • Four fully parallel in-system programming channels
  • Channel demultiplexing: each of the four main channels can be demultiplexed to 2 or 4 ISP channels (for a total of 8 or16 ISP channels, respectively)
  • Galvanic isolation (on the 8 ISP channels configuration)
  • Easy Integration in Programming Lines (ATE, ICT, Test Fixtures)
  • Universal and Fully Upgradable

Overview
FlashRunner Quattro is a high-integration in-system gang programmer, based on the FlashRunner patented technology. FlashRunner Quattro is designed for programming multi-PCB panel assemblies, and is based on the FlashRunner technology. This means:

  • Extremely fast programming (it is one of the fastest in-system programming system on the market);
  • Standalone operations (projects and code images stored on memory cards);
  • Compact and robust design for production environments.

FlashRunner Quattro is composed of a mainboard which hosts the programming and demultiplexing modules, plus various connectors used to interface to the target system and host/ATE.

Available Models
FlashRunner Quattro is available in three different models, to best suit different gang programming needs.

FR04A04 4 ISP channels system (4 true parallel channels), no ISP channel demultiplexing
FR04A08 8 ISP channels system (4 parallel channels, each demultiplexable to 2 channels, with galvanic isolation)
FR04A16 16 ISP channels system (4 parallel channels, each demultiplexable to 4 channels)

Hardware Features
FlashRunner features state-of-the-art electronics to provide you with high integration flexibility in a compact footprint.

  • 9 to 18V DC power supply input;
  • Six digital I/O lines;
  • Two digital I/O or analog output lines;
  • Two programmable output voltages;
  • One programmable clock output;
  • Secure Digital memory cards (up to 2 GB);
  • 512 bytes on-board dynamic memory;
  • On-board timekeeper and calendar;
  • Optoisolated inputs for project selection;
  • Two optoisolated command inputs (START and STOP);
  • Three optoisolated status outputs (FAIL, PASS, BUSY);
  • Optoisolated RS-232/Ethernet channel.

FlashRunner's open architecture makes its firmware easily upgradable to support both new devices and new features.

FlashRunner Control Panel

FlashRunner 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 its SD memory cards (FAT16);
  • Controllable by any host system through a terminal utility and simple ASCII protocol;
  • Unlimited projects (scripts);
  • 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;
  • 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.
