PSDPRO - PARALLEL PORT PROGRAMMER

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION

The PSDpro is a high performance engineering

programmer designed to program ST's entire fam-

ily of PSD products. Through the use of inter-

changeable

sockets,

the

PSDpro

can

be

configured to program any of ST’s OTP or Flash-

based PSD Products. It is controlled using ST's

PSDsoft Express software operating in the IBM-

PC compatible Windows 95/98/2000 or NT/XP en-

vironment. The PSDpro enables quick program-

ming, greatly accelerating the system design

process.

The PSDpro is easy to use. The parallel port inter-

face to the host computer eliminates problems

with bus addresses, interrupt assignments, or soft-

ware installation. PSDpro is powered by an exter-

nal DC power supply
