Supported Devices 
 GALEP-5 is a universal programmer for programmable devices of the following types: PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH memory, serial EEPROM, NV-RAM, LPC, FPGA, PLD, EPLD, GAL, PALCE, PIC, Microcontroller (MCU). All common devices are supported (GALEP-5 device list). If you need a device that's not yet in the list, please use our free Device on Demand Service - we'll implement any programmable device usually within 2..4 weeks.
Ultra-Compact, USB-Powered Design
The GALEP-5 device programmer fits into your jacket pocket and weighs less than 200g, compared to 3..4 lbs of bulky competitor products. It is completely powered through the USB bus and does normally not require any additional
power supply. Only when the device to be programmed consumes more than 500 mA, which is the case for few old NMOS devices and some microcontrollers, the included power adapter or batteries (6xAAA) can be used.
HIGH-SPEEd Programming
GALEP-5 is uncompromisingly designed for speed. An internal 200 MIPS ARM-9 processor under Embedded Linux handles communication and programming. An FPGA (user-programmable logic) device controls the pin drivers and supports hardware acceleration of the programming algorithms by setting up internal state machines and UARTs. This way, even time-critical devices can be programmed in a speed that could never be reached by pure software.
The hardware acceleration makes GALEP-5 one of the fastest device programmers on the market today. For instance, a MB91F467 Microcontroller by Fujitsu (8 MBit) needs only 18 seconds for a program/verify cycle - close to the theoretical minimum specified by the manufacturer. The internal 64 MB RAM serves as data storage and allows to transfer the data only once for programming multiple devices.
48 universal pin drivers 
A custom-designed universal pin driver circuit guarantees optimal signal quality at the output pins, and allows the small size and low power consumption of all GALEP chip programmers. Each of the 240 pins can generate the following signals:
Logical high between 1.2V .. 5.0V
Logical input, threshold 0.5V … 5.0V
Three programming voltages between 1.3V .. 25.0V
Three switchable resistors for pullup and pulldown
Adjustable clock rate
Ground
The switching regulators for the programming voltages are controlled by D/A converters in 100 mV steps. Further D/A converters are used to control the logic levels and the input threshold. For maximum protection of the programmable device, all voltages are permanently monitored by an independent circuit.
In System Programming
The signals
for In-System Programming (ISP) can be taken from a separately
available ISP adapter or directly from the 48-pin ZIF socket.
The help system provides information about the wiring of the
target system for all supported components.
Software
The GALEP-5 program runs under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, and Vista. Besides basic functions such as read, program, compare and delete, it features easy-to-use custom configuration options for any special functions required by the selected device. The editor supports binary, Intel-Hex, Motorola-S or JEDEC file format. Mass production is supported by providing statistics functions and serial number generation.
JTAG Support: Delete, program and verify components with JTAG interface (joint test action group, IEEE Std. 1149.1 ). The following formats are supported: SVF-Script in XSVF(Xilinx) format; JAM byte code player (ALTERA).
Batch mode: Run GALEP-5D from the command line, or implement GALEP-5 commands in your own production software. The programmer can be completely controlled by a set of powerful batch commands.
Updates: The software is permanently improved for supporting new components (device list). If you need a certain device that's not yet supported, use our free Device on Demand Service. Free updates are available on our website in regular intervals.
JTAG Debugger
With GALEP-5 you can debug all Microcontrollers with JTAG interface that are supported by the OpenOCD (On Chip Debugger) software - ARM7, ARM9, XScale, and Cortex-M3 MCUs. The chip to debug is simply put into GALEP's programming socket or connected with GALEP through a cable or ISP adapter (please find details in the OpenOCD documentation). Additionally you can easily define test algorithms for in circuit testing of complete circuit boards (Boundary Scan) for small series production. This way your GALEP-5 becomes a complete development, test and production system!
Security
Prior
to each function, GALEP checks the power consumption, correct
positioning, and the contacts of all pins of the selected component.
This effectively prevents any accidental damage to the component or the programmer.
Socket AdapterS
GALEP-5
programs all components in DIL sockets up to 48 Pins between
300 … 600 MIL (ca. 7,5 … 16 mm) wide, without additional
adapters.
Universal socket adapters are available for all components with
up to 48 pins. Only one adapter per socket is required; few adapters
= small system costs!
Adapters for components with more than 48 pins are also available.
Because the pin number of the programming device is smaller than
the pin number of the components, such adapters are specialized.
If you have to program components with a high pin number frequently,
a GALEP-5D (with up to 240 pin drivers) might be the more effective solution.
All GALEP-4
adapters can be used with GALEP-5. Adapters for the following sockets are available: SOIC, SOP, TSOP, SSOP, TSSOP, PLCC, QFP, TQFP, MLF.
