Translation Formats
Glossary
A form of transmission protocol, these formats are used when transferring
data between the programmer and a host computer. The different formats
represent different ways of encoding the device data in a data file. The data
file could contain the fuse pattern for a logic device or the data for a memory
device.
Transmit Pacing
The number of milliseconds the programmer will insert as a time-delay
between characters transmitted to the host computer during uploading. The
time delay is specified in tenths of milliseconds.
Transparent Mode
One of the programmer's three operating modes. The programmer is
controlled from either a dedicated terminal or from a workstation running a
terminal emulation package.
TSOP
Underblow
An acronym for Thin Small Outline Package, a type of device package. A
rectangular device with gull-wing leads on the short sides. Also called TSOP I.
A condition in which fuses that should have been blown or programmed were
not.
Underblown Fuse
A fuse that did not disconnect as per manufacturer's specifications. These
fuses may test properly but tend to be more prone to grow back when in
circuit, rendering the PLD useless.
Universal Pin Driver
A pin driver with the ability to supply power and ground to every pin. With
Universal Pin Drivers, you can program and test devices without having to use
pin out adapters and characterizers.
Universal PLD Programmer
A programmer that can apply power, ground, and any programming pulse
required to program any fuse technology device.
Upload Data
A file transfer operation that involves sending data from the programmer to a
host.
Upload Host Command
A command that is sent from the programmer to the host during an upload.
The command tells the host what to do with the incoming data.
Upload Wait
The length of time the programmer will wait before it begins sending data to
the host computer after the host upload command is sent.
