Device programmer with USB and parallel ports

25 June 2008 Design Automation

Needhams Electronics' EMP-21 universal device programmer supports over 6600 devices and employs both USB and parallel ports for communication with Windows-based software. Needhams' new 'automated one touch' system allows the user to blank-cheque, erase, program, verify or any combination of these functions with the touch of a button.

The low profile, lightweight design of the EMP-21 makes it ideal for any desktop or briefcase, proving useful for programming devices in the field. Its inexpensive cost lends well to a wide variety of budgets and with the absence of a fan or power switch, wear and tear is almost nonexistent.

Measuring only 262 x 162 x 31 mm with a 50 mm high power transformer, the programmer, parallel port, USB cable, transformer, and Family Modules, together weigh in at less than 2,2 kg.

The EMP-21 is static-protected at the ZIF Socket, Family Module socket, parallel and USB port, and power connector. The static protection on the parallel port also protects it from the 12 volts of a serial port.
