Hooray! The first good thing that's happened this year!
It would have been a good buy. With the right adaptor
, it can also
do several types of PALs, GALS, and other devices. Sadly, my S3 is
rather more limited. OTOH, it cost less than ?165.
Aah, but now I'm prepared.
I've started keeping slightly larger amounts of
cash on me at hamfests and I usually take a very close look at all the
stalls before buying anything. BTW, I've got a spare Altera MAX7000
EPM7128ELC84 CPLD if anyone wants it. GBP5 or best offer. It goes up on Ebay
on Friday if not sold.
But there is
some consolation. I'm getting an Elnec PrEPROM-02aLV
EPROM programmer for Christmas, so all is not lost.
That will certainly do the
job. The OTP package is identical to the ceramic/quartz
package, so no
problem there.
Except for the "Foul up the programming, replace the chip"
rule.
The HN462532 is pin-compatible to the TMS2532 as
well, so that's no problem either. Both use a single 50ms programing
pulse with Vpp=25V.
That's even better. So not only are they pin compatible,
but they're also
read and program mode compatible? Sweeet...
Thanks.
