The Galep-5D is a professional universal programmer used for development, service and production programming.
The programming algorithms run on an internal 200 MIPS ARM-9 processor under Embedded Linux. The processor directly controls the pin drivers via an FPGA, which ensures the perfect adaptation of the components to the programming algorithms. The internal 128 MB RAM serve as data storage and allows you to transfer the data only once for programming multiple devices.
All supported chips can be programmed directly in DIP/DIL packages and suitable adapters are available for specialized packages such as PLCC, SOP, TSOP and QFP.
The Galep-5 software features a comprehensive set of basic functions such as read, program, compare and delete, along with easy-to-use custom configuration options for any special functions required by the selected component.
The editor allows a multitude of functions for editing component contents which can be saved and loaded in binary, intel-hex, motorola-s or jedec file format.
GALEP-5D comes with a DIL-48 module and programs all components in DIL sockets of up to 48 Pins between 300 … 600 MIL (~ 7,5...16 mm) wide, without additional adapters. All GALEP-4 and GALEP-5 adapters can be used with the DIL-48 module of GALEP-5D!
A main advantage of GALEP-5D is the unique module concept. The DIL Modul cen be replaced in seconds with a module for a different socket. Modules for all sockets up to 240 pins are available. This keeps the costs for the overall system low: F.i. a single QFP-120 GALEP-5D module replaces all 5 Fujitsu QFP-120-adapters for GALEP-4, and additionally can program all other devices in the same socket! When frequently programming components with high pin numbers, a GALEP-5D has quickly brought in its price.
This feature is currently in development and will be available in the next months as a free update. It allows using GALEP-5D in mass production without a PC!
The programming data can be stored on SD card or on a local server connected via Ethernet. For programming multiple components, several GALEP-5D devices can be controlled simultaneously (cluster- or gang-programming).
