BP Microsystems BP-1400/240 Universal Device Programmer

The BP Microsystems BP-1400/240 is a universal device programmer engineered for high-speed programming and functional testing of integrated circuits across engineering and production environments. This 240-pin universal programmer supports all major device technologies and package types, delivering rise times of 800ps at the programming socket without overshoot or ground bounce. The system accommodates devices operating down to 2.7V, enabling support for advanced low-voltage technologies while maintaining the ability to functionally test high-speed PLDs with speeds as low as 3ns.

## Technical Specifications

• **Device Support:** EPROM, EEPROM, Flash memory (up to 32MB), microcontrollers, PLDs, CPLDs, PALs, FPGAs, and anti-fuse FPGAs
• **Package Support:** DIP, PLCC, TSOP, SSOP, SOIC, LCC, PCMCIA, QFP, PGA, and BGA packages up to 240 pins
• **Pin Drivers:** 240 standard pin drivers operating down to 2.7V
• **Rise Time:** 800ps at programming socket (no overshoot or ground bounce)
• **Voltage Range:** 2.7V to 3.3V (low-voltage device support)
• **Programming Architecture:** Based on BP-2200 Concurrent Programming System, single-site configuration
• **Testing:** Full vector testing and 100% continuity testing; 240-pin device support

## Key Features

• High-speed bipolar analog pin drivers with microstrip transmission lines
• Interchangeable socket modules for package-type switching
• Pre-programming 100% continuity verification on all devices
• Functional testing capability for devices with speeds as low as 3ns
• Universal programmer compatibility across all package types

## Typical Applications

• Production programming of high-pin-count devices and BGA packages
• Engineering development with mixed device technology requirements
• Functional verification of high-speed programmable logic
• Low-voltage device programming and testing

## Compatibility & Integration

Historically operated on Windows 98, with later compatibility for Windows XP and Windows 7 environments. Associated with BPWin software; final supported version for legacy BP-1400 systems was BPWin 4.73. Note: The BP-1400/240 reached manufacturer end-of-life as of December 31, 2008, with discontinuation of official support.
