A multipurpose intelligent EPROM programmer

Abstract

This master thesis describes the design and implementation of a multipurpose intelligent EPROM programmer named as MPP. Today; microprocessors are used in many kind of applications. In microprocessor based design; program editing, execution, debugging and the programming the final software to EPROMs are basic steps. In the market; there are many kind of eproms used as nonvolatile program storage in microprocessor based designs. MPP system is designed as a microprocessor_based system. It utilizes the program, verify and duplicate most of the EPROMs in It also supports intelligent programming and gang programming facilities. MPP system is an multipurpose system. It features a data memory which allows data manipulation, program execution and debugging. It also allows communication utulity with external resources such as computers and development systems for data communication. MPP system is designed as a compact system which provides a keyboard/display unit as a man_machine interface. Beside that an interactive CRT terminal interface is provided.
