  • Parallel programming of in-system (ISP) programmable devices using an automatic tester
    Patent number: 5751163
    Abstract: An automatic tester is provided to simultaneously program PLDs organized in device chains, so as to minimize programming time and to maximize utilization of the tester pins. Various configurations which allow parallel programming of device chains are provided for device chains using the same programming convention, e.g. in-system programming (ISP) convention. Various configuration which allow parallel programming of device chains using different programming conventions, such as BSCAN and ISP conventions, are provided.
