The Logical Devices ChipMaster 6000XPu is an intelligent universal programmer for high-performance programming of integrated circuits across laboratory and mass-production environments. This PC-based system connects via parallel port or USB and features a 48-pin ZIF socket supporting over 1200 device types, including CPLDs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, Serial EEPROMs, Flash memory, and microcontrollers. The programmer delivers flash programming rates as fast as 2.5 seconds per M-bit—enabling production throughput of thousands of chips per day—while built-in device insertion and continuity checks prevent damage from incorrect orientation or poor contact.
