How to Program SPI NOR Flash and EEPROM on StarProg-A

This application note illustrates how to program EEPROM and SPI NOR Flash with Dual die on StarProg-ATE, including EEPROM 24,25,93,95 series, Micron MT25TL series, Macronix MX66L1G85G and Spansion S79FL series. Learn more about DediProg products and how to use them.

1. Dediware Procedure
 

1.1 Select: Click “Select” to choose IC manufacturer/part number/package

                        
 
1.2 Load: Click “Load” to load the file intended for the programmer.   

 

 
+: Add other partition to load file.

FilePath: Show your file path

PartitionName: Indicate the partition that you request.

StartProgAddr: Indicate the start address. FillUnusedByte: Select to fill unused byte, ex: 0xFF.   

 
1.3 Config: Set up batch operation and options                                                                                         
 
 
 
1.4 Programming function

1.4.1 Read ID: If IC has readable ID that can show in the Log window, then the ID will appear in the ChipInfo. 

1.4.2 Read IC: Read the IC data and compare with the file data.   

1.4.3 Erase: Erase entire IC or specific area if IC has several partitions. 

1.4.4 Blank Check: Check if the target chip is blank or not. 

1.4.5 Program: Write the selected file data into the chip. 

1.4.6 Verify: Content verification between chips and loaded file. 

1.4.7 Auto Batch: Run the programming settings of batch in Config.
