Rumor has it that Ethan Dicks may have mentioned these words:
I am needing to burn PLCC-packaged chips in my DIP
programmer. I
expect I need to locate a PLCC<->DIP adapter of the right size
(for 29C010 and 28F101 Flash chips, at the moment). Thinking about it
made me wonder if any of the sockets were ZIF or LIF.
They're out there...
Any ideas? Any recommendation on a source for
adapters?
Some of the least expensive adapters I've found (including the least
expensive programmers & SMD rework stations I've found) but still by no
means "cheap" would be Xeltek --
www.xeltek.com. Had decent luck with my
refurbed programmer that was <$200 and will do up to 4Mbit [Flash|EP]ROM
devices, as well as PAL/GAL/PEEL/ATMEL etc...
Their PLCC sockets range from $130 -> $185 (I'd seen 'em as high as $325,
so that's a *bargain*... ;-) )
