Introduce The LabTool-48UXP |
|
LabTool-48UXP has replaced LabTool-48XP in Jan 1st 2005.The LabTool-48UXP is full compatible with LabTool-48XP in software. It has an extra USB port to connect the USB interface of PC and it works with Win 98SE/Me, Win 2000 and Win XP. The LabTool-48UXP has both parallel port and USB interface. The USB SW driver (beta test version) is release on web. |

Introduce The LabTool-T400 option 100 |
|
Introduced in May 2004, now the LabTool-T400 can be regard as a single socket flash programmer to give customer a solution for high density and low voltage chip as entry level.LabTool-T400 option 100 can upgrade to full function LabTool-T400 by purchasing 3 set extra pin driver modules. |

Introduce The LabTool-T400 Turbo Flash Gang Programmer |
|
Advantech Equipment is very pound to announce the LabTool-T400 four socket Flash Gang Programmer.
The LabTool-T400 is AEC solution for high density/low voltage flash in the next decade, T400 is not the replacement of the current LabTool-848 Gang programmer, it is to extension the AEC's product offer, LabTool-T400 is focus on the high volume customer who need to program high density flash memory in quantity.
848 will be a general purpose gang programmer that support common MCU, EPROM, EEPROM and Flash memory up to 64 or 128 M bit only, Flash with 64M and up to Giga bit density will be the focus of LabTool-T400, there are only very limit overleap in flash device in 32Mb, 64Mb, 128Mb.
Following is the high light of the LabTool-T400: |
- Support 3.3, 1.8V to 1.2V Flash memory chip in VCC and I/O without low voltage converter.
- High density Flash chip support up to 128G bit.
- Extremely high speed: it blank check a 64M bit Flash chip in 1.6 seconds, program the STM28W640CT (4 word programming algorithm) within 11.5 seconds chip and verify it within 3.2 seconds.
- Support 8 bit/16 bit and 32 bit Flash chip.
- USB 1.1 and 2.0 interface: one PC can attach up to 16 unit LabTool-T400 to perform asynchronous programming.
|
The LabTool-400 has 4 to 13 times speed than LabTool-848 (Depend on algorithm of chips), it can delivery 3 to 8 times through put than 848, it reserve many extension feature in future (low voltage chip up to 1.2V, max density chip support up to 128Gb, 8/16/32 bit flash support). |

How to select the uBGA adapter to fit the chip |
|
uBGA package do not standardized from vender to vender, this created hundreds of different package in the market and required hundreds of socket/adapter to support the chip. It is very difficult for customer to determine which adapter will fit the chip from the price list and the datasheet of the chip. However if the customer can pay attention to the package of the chip, following is the key factor of the package and using those key factor, it will be more easy to find a suitable adapter to fit the chip. |
- Dimension:
This is the size of the uBGA or MCP chip, make sure the socket fit the dimension of the chip, normally the dimension is W x L x H for example (6mm x 8mm x 1.2mm).
- Ball Grid (organization):
This is matrix of the ball under the chip, for example 6 x 8 =48 ball or 7x 8 = 56 ball or 8x11= 88 ball.
- Pitch of the ball:
Distance between the ball, it can be 1.0 mm (Easy BGA), 0.8 mm or 0.75mm or even 0.5mm.
- Ball diameter:
This figure can be from 0.30mm to 0.45 mm or 0.5mm dependent on the package, if the Ball diameter of the chip bigger than the socket, after a few insertion, the socket will damage by the chip and cause the poor contact. If the chip has small diameter than the socket, it will cause the poor contact all the time.
- Ball height:
This figure can be from 0.2mm to 0.4 mm dependent on the chip package, like the ball diameter, if the socket do not fit the chip in this parameter will cause the damage of the socket or poor contact when insert the chip into the adapter. When select the uBGA adapter, make sure check all above key point for the chip then reference to the attachment adapter and its key dimension chart and you can find which adapter fit the chips.

LabTool-48XP SW 5.30 support EPP,ECP and Bi-direction Modes |
|
The Labtool-48XP only work under parallel port with EPP has cause many inconvenience of customers who has notebook without EPP in parallel port, Advantech Equipment received many report regarding this issues since the introduction of Labtool-48XP.
With the effort of AEC's R/D team, the SW 5.30 of Labtool-48XP has change the low level parallel port driver that allow the new Labtool-48XP software to work on EPP, ECP, ECP+EPP or Bi-direction mode without the performance decline even with ECP mode.
After execution the labtool-48XP software revision 5.30 EPP, ECP and Bi-direction driver will be open, the SW try to link the Labtool-48XP in EPP driver first, if it failure to connect the Labtool-48XP, the Labtool-48XP software will try the ECP driver and so on until the Labtool-48XP hardware been successfully detect and connect to the PC.
With this approach customer do not need to change the Parallel port set up in the BIOS, the Labtool-48XP software will figure out the parallel port mode and connect the hardware with proper parallel port driver automatically. |

Notice |
|
Obsolete the Labtool-48 and fake unit from China |
|
Labtool-48 has been obsolete since Sept 2002 and replace by labtool-48XP, Advantech Equipment Corp do not ship any labtool-48 since Sept 2002, if any of customer still can get the labtool-48 in the market after Jan 2003, it must be a forgery unit made in China, fake labtool-48 is wildly spread in China, Hong Kong and may export to other country too.
The fake labtool-48 has very poor quality, no software update, no device update, no support from Advantech, can not upgrade to labtool-48XP.
All the customer are request to order the labtool family programmer from our authorized distributor list in the web to protect your investment. |
