Multichip parallel program burning system

Abstract

A multichip parallel program burning system is connected with a computer and is used to support the action of parallel program burning of various chips. The burning system comprises a microcontroller and a programmable gate array, wherein the microcontroller is in a communications linkage with the computer; the programmable gate array is in a communications linkage with the microcontroller; the programmable gate array comprises a plurality of channels, status registers and control registers; each channel corresponds to and is electrically connected with one kind of chip; and the microcontroller receives the parallel burning command and transmits the parallel burning command to the programmable gate array, the programmable gate array translates the parallel burning command to ensure that the translated parallel burning command corresponds to each chip and the motion of the parallel program burning can be performed simultaneously to various chips, thus saving the cost and reducing the recording time.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chip burning system, in particular to a burning system capable of paralleling multiple different chips at the same time. Background technique [0002] In the development and design of hardware systems, it is often necessary to perform data reading and writing operations on the chip, which is called programming the chip. Because the chip has many bus types, such as: IIC, SPI, ICSP (PIC microcontroller, PSoC chip, etc.), CPLD / FPGA. Under normal circumstances, chip manufacturers will provide programming tools for chips of the bus type or can use common programmers on the market to achieve the purpose of programming the chips. [0003] The characteristic of the general programmer is that only one chip can be programmed at a time, and some high-end programmers can program multiple chips of the same type of the same bus type at the same time. This method can easily complete the programming support for different types of chips, but becau...

Problems solved by technology

In order to reduce the programming time, some will provide a programming machine for each type of chip, so that the total time for programming five types of chips is the longest time for programming a single chip, as shown in Table 1. For example, the total programming time required for 24C512 is the longest, so it takes only 50 seconds (s) to burn the total programming time of five chips, expressed as 24C512 with the longest programming time, but this would result in a substantial increase in costs
