Low-Cost USB Analyser
The USB Tracker 110 is a compact, low-cost, non-intrusive USB analyser designed to support the development of USB devices and related software is now available from Computer Solutions.
A Windows 98/XT/2K user interface makes programming quick and easy, and for higher throughput up to eight units may be controlled by one PC.
The All-100 supports over 9000 ICs from all the major device manufacturers, with algorithms and hardware tested and certified by leading IC manufacturers including AMD, Atmel, ICT, Macronix, Freescale, National Semiconductor, TI, Winbond, WSI, Xilinx and others.
Nearly all devices with 8-48 pins in DIP format can be programmed directly by the standard 48-pin DIP pack, but adaptors and convertors are available to support devices with up to 300 pins and nearly every type of IC package including PLCC, SOP, TSOP, QFP, TQFP, PGA, SOJ and BGA.

High-Speed Interfaces For PowerPC Development
Computer Solutions has launched a range of USB-based interfaces to speed up the development and debugging of systems based on the Freescale (formerly Motorola) PowerPC and ColdFire families.
The programmer consists of a universal base and exchangeable adaptor options, and incorporates SIMM module pin-driver circuits which provide extremely accurate programming waveforms, operate at high speed with high reliability and have a compact form factor.
Some gang adaptor options are also available.
Programming is very simple.
The user chooses a device manufacturer and device type from a menu, and reads in a file from a master device or loads a file from the PC.
An automatic programming function is provided which allows the user to indicate all functions to be performed on the device (blank check, program, verify, program security, protect sectors etc) prior to programming being initiated by a single external button.
The All-100 can process all popular file formats including Intel HEX, Motorola S-records, binary, JEDEC fuse map, Altera POF and others.
A full screen editor is provided to view or edit any address of the programming buffer in binary, ASCII, or Logic Fuse Map formats.
Overcurrent protection circuits and reverse-insertion detection protect both the ICs and the programmer.
A self-diagnostic test is included to verify correct operation of the hardware and to meet calibration requirements.
Every All-100 is backed by a one-year hardware warranty.
