  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to start the test.

High Voltage Test

  1. Connect the voltmeter probes to pins 1 and 48.
  2. Measure the voltage of pin 1 and ensure it falls within the specified range.

Low Voltage Test

  1. Measure the voltage of pin 1 and verify if it is within the specified range.

Low-Frequency Test

  1. Connect the scope probe to pin 1 and ground to pin 48.
  2. Set the probe voltage of the oscilloscope to 2 V/Div and adjust timing to observe an entire wave period.
  3. Measure the frequency of one period of the waveform and check if it is within the specified range.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: What should I do if the programmer fails to turn on during setup?
A: Close the software, check USB and power connections, and attempt to power up the programmer again.

Q: How do I know if the programmer requires service during testing?
A: If voltage or frequency readings fall outside of the specified range during tests, it indicates that the programmer may be out of calibration and requires service.

Introduction

This document provides detailed instructions on the Silicon Sculptor 4 (SS4) conformance test.

Required Hardware
The following is the list of required hardware for the conformance test:

  • SS4 to be tested
  • SM48D or SM48DB socket module
  • Voltmeter
  • Oscilloscope

The following figure shows the location of pins 1 and 48 of the SM48D/SM48DB socket module. These pins are used to perform the actual voltage and waveform measurements.

Setup Instructions

To setup the unit, perform the following steps:

  1. Place SM48D or SM48DB onto the SS4 programmer as shown in the following figure.
    Figure 2. SM48D/SM48DB Socket Module Placed on SS4 ProgrammerMICROCHIP-

  2. Connect the SS4 programmer to the PC using a USB cable.

  3. Connect the power supply to the programmer and power outlet.
    Note: Ensure that the power for the programmer is still turned off.

  4. Install the latest version of the SculptW software on your computer, if not installed.

  5. Launch the SculptW software. The programmer must be powered after this step. Ensure that the green LED illuminates after powering up the system. If the programmer fails to turn on, then close the software, check the USB and power connections, and attempt to power up the programmer again.

Test Instructions

To start the test, perform the following steps:

  1. Click the Device menu, then in the Look for box, type BP as shown in the following figure.
  2. Click BP Microsystems SS4 Certificate of Conformance Test, and then click Select.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(3\)
  3. The following window then appears explaining how to run the test. Press Enter to close this window.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(4\)
  4. Click Execute to start the test.

High Voltage Test
To conduct the high voltage test, perform the following steps:

  1. Connect the voltmeter probes to pins 1 and 48.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(5\)
  2. Measure the voltage of the pin 1 as shown in the following figure. Check if the voltage reading is within the specified range. If the voltage readings fall outside of the specified range, it indicates that the programmer is out of calibration and requires service. The following figure shows voltage measurement of the pin 1.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(6\)
  3. Press Start to move on to the next test.

Low Voltage Test

To conduct the low voltage test, perform the following steps:

  1. Measure the voltage of the pin 1 as shown in the following figure. Check if the voltage reading is within the specified range. If the voltage readings fall outside of the specified range, it indicates that the programmer is out of calibration and requires service.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(7\)
  2. Press Start to move on to the next test.

Low Frequency Test
To conduct the low frequency test, perform the following steps:

  1. Connect the scope probe to pin 1 and ground to pin 48.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(8\)
  2. Set the probe voltage of the oscilloscope to 2 V/Div.
  3. Adjust the timing to see an entire wave period as shown in the following figure.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(9\)
  4. Measure the frequency of one period of the wave form. Check if the frequency reading is within the specified range. If the measured frequency falls outside of the specified range, it indicates that the programmer is out of calibration and requires service.
  5. Press Start to move on to the next test.

Pulse Width Test
To conduct the pulse width test, perform the following steps:

  1. Set the trigger of the oscilloscope to capture the signal on the rising edge of the signal.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(10\)
  2. Measure the pulse width. Check if the pulse width reading is within the specified range. If the measured pulse width falls outside of the specified range, it indicates that the programmer is out of calibration and requires service. The following figure shows the expected result of pulse width test.MICROCHIP-SM48DB-Silicon-Sculptor-4-Conformance-Test-FIG- \(11\)
  3. Press Start to terminate the test.
