PROMs: HW-112 programmer support for 1700L


Record #1119

Product Family:  Hardware

Product Line:  1700L

Problem Title:
PROMs:  HW-112 programmer support for 1700L


Problem Description:
The HW-112 may be used to program 1718L and 1736L PROMs, but it does not
support programming of 17128L and 17256L PROMs.

Implications:  No .DSF files will be distributed for these devices.


The HW-112 hardware does not verify at 3 volts due to hardware
limitations.

Note that no new L products will be supported in the future by the HW-112.



Solution 1:

To program a 17128L or 17256L part, you *must* use an HW130 programmer or
other 3rd party programmer that supports these parts.  The corresponding
algorithms have a .ALG extension instead of the .DSF extension used for
HW-112 algorithms.

Customers who only have an HW-112, but who need to program a 128L or 256L,
should contact their sales representative about getting an upgrade
to an HW-130.
