Product Descriptions
Configurations
The 3980xpi and the Legacy Programming Systems 3980, 3900 and 2900 are
precision tools for programming and verifying virtually all programmable
device technologies and packages.
3980xpi Programming System
The 3980xpi features all the benefits of the 3980 series universal device
programmer with the additional ability to quickly and easily handle devices
that require large data files, as well as other enhancements that make the
programmer easier to use in production or engineering environments.
3980 Programming System
In addition to the features of the 3900, the 3980 has an internal hard disk
drive, the Mass Storage Module, that provides 80 MB of storage space for
system software and device programming algorithms so you do not have to
insert a Boot disk when you power up or switch disks during operation.
3900 Programming System
The 3900 has 88 universal pin drivers capable of supporting devices of all pin
sizes. The optional PLCC base and MatchBooks provide support for over 3000
devices in PLCC packages. The optional PPI Base and adapters support a wide
variety of packages, including SOIC, TSOP, QFP, and µBGA.
2900 Programming System
The 2900 has 44 universal (analog and digital) pin drivers. The standard DIP
base supports DIP packages to 48 pins. The optional PPI Base and adapters
extend support to devices in other package styles.
You can set up your programmer in the following configurations:
� Connected to a PC using TaskLink Software (see page 2-2) or HiTerm
Terminal Emulator (see page 2-4) to control the programmer.
� Connected to a Host, such as a workstation, which you can use to control
the programmer and store data files (see page 2-5).
� Connected to a stand-alone Terminal, such as the DEC VT-100,
Qume VT-101, and Wyse WY-30/40/70 family of terminals (see page 2-6).
