How to Program an IC Chip
Using the SUPERPRO
280U
The instructions vary slightly between
different chips
• Follow red instructions if you are using the 2532 or the 2532A.
• Follow green instructions if you are using the 27C64.
• Follow blue instructions if you are using the 28C64.
• Follow purple instructions if you are using the GAL16V8.
•Switch on power to the
unit and wait for the LED
to turn green
•Open the Superpro
program on the desktop
•Choose device you wish
to program by clicking
on device icon
•Select appropriate manufacturer and device name
•Under Manufacturer click TI , then TAB over to Device and select TMS2532 or the TMS2532A depending on your chip.
• Under Manufacturer click AMD, then TAB over to Device and select AM27C64 .
•Under Manufacturer click Atmel, then TAB over to Device and select AT28C64B .
•Under Manufacturer click Lattice , then TAB over to Device and select GAL16V8.
•Program should
indicate that it is ready
•Place chip in the programmer in
the ZIF socket
•Pull lever to open slots
•Place in programmer at the
bottom of the slots with pin 1
pointing towards lever
•Close slots by moving lever to
original position
NOTE: This step only needed if you are using a
UV erasable device (i.e. 2532A or 27C64).
Check that EPROM has
been erased
•Click Blank_Check and
await verification
•Click read button
•Examine buffer to
ensure that all points in
memory are FF
Load your program into the buffer
•Press the load button.
•Select the *.hex or *.jed file you wish
to load into the chip
The File Type window will appear
Choose the appropriate file address but
leave the buffer address unchanged
Set the File address to F000
Set the File address to E000
Set the File address to E000
Not needed for the GAL16V8.
Verify your program is in the buffer
•Press the buffer button
•Examine hex code to ensure it matches your program
•If you are running a standalone program, ensure that
Reset/IRQ vectors are set
Program your chip
•Press the Program button
•LED on device should turn orange.
•LED will turn green again once programming is
complete
•If LED turns red then there has been an error and
you may need to re-program the chip. This is usually
due to the chip not making a complete connection
within the programmer socket. NOTE: LED will stay
red until the next successful operation is complete
•Once complete, press the Verify button to ensure that
the program has been loaded successfully
•NOTE: UV erasable devices take much longer to program
then electrically erasable devices.
Remember to turn off the programmer when you are done!!!!
