Phyton has 22 years of experience in designing and selling two types of products: Device programmers for engineering and manufacturing Development tools for embedded microcontrollers – in-circuit emulators and IDEs

In-System Programmers

ChipProg in-system device programmers for production and engineering:

ChipProg-ISP2; CP12-B1 device programmers

The CPI2-B1 device programmer belongs to the ChipProg-ISP2 family of Phyton in-system production device programmers, designed for use with ATE, ICT, programming fixtures and automated handlers. It can also be used for development, and in stand-alone mode for field service. CPI2-B1 can be used for programming microcontrollers, flash memory and programmable logical devices. Use of some CPI2-B1 programming features requires purchasing additional software licenses:

  • The CPI2-ACI license is tied to the programmer\’s hardware and enables remote control via DLL and other options.
  • CPI2-D-XXXX target-specific Device Driver Library licenses enable programming support for a certain group of devices.

The price of a device programmer is the total of prices of hardware and optional licenses: CPI2-ACI and target-specific Device Driver Library license(s).

ChipProg-ISP2; CP12-Gxxxx device programmers

ChipProg-ISP2 series of new Phyton device programmers includes CPI2-Gxxxx gang programmers intended for embedding into programming fixtures, ATE, ICT, and automated handlers for mass device programming. The series, based on a CPI2 programming engine, currently supports thousands of in-system programmable microcontrollers, flash memory and programmable logical devices (PLDs). CPI2-Gxxxx programmers are available in two design configurations. Each configuration contains a compact motherboard, along with:

  • upright-positioned (perpendicular to the motherboard) CPI-GM1 plug-in modules (2 to 7 modules);
  • planar-positioned (parallel to the motherboard) CPI-GM1 plug-in modules (2 to 4 modules).

Order code pattern is: CPI2-Gxx/yyPN, where:

  • CPI2 – the family abbreviation;
  • G – type of the programmer: gang;
  • xx – number of direct programming channels (CPI2-GM1 modules plugged to motherboard);
  • yy – number of multiplexed programming channels;
  • P – orientation of the programming modules with respect to the motherboard: V for upright position, H –for planar;
  • N – hardware revision (1, 2, etc.)
