How to copy an EPROM programmer? – OROD Shenzhen

EPROM programmer also known as easily programmable read-only memory is one of the best memory chips found in car keys, radios, motherboards, and many other electronics. Usually, they are 8-pin and store data when the unit is switched off and that is the reason why they are used for settings and configuration data and why people want to copy an EPROM programmer. Initially, there are many types of serial EEPROM chip available and it is important to identify the first type. They all use the same method for storing data and how they communicate varies from chip to chip. Basically, there are 3 types of commercial products that are available: 1.       24 series that uses the I2C two-wire protocol 2.       25 series that uses the 3 wire SPI communication 3.       93 series that uses microwire with a variant of SPI With socket programming, you can unsolder the chip from the board and you can drop it into a socket programmer or reader to read it. You can also sa

What is EPROM programmer and what you need to know?

EPROM programmer is one of the oldest computers from the 1970 and 1980s that come across the need to replace a failed or masked ROM and EPROM. In this blog, if you are unfamiliar with EPROMS and want to get their machines up and running again, this blog will help you. What do EPROM stands for? EPROM stands for Erasable-Programmable Read-only memory. Here, the ICs or the integrated circuit holds the code and often an auxiliary program such as an application, utility, or game which can be loaded during the start-up. Most of the times, they are used to house the bootstrap code and the BASIC interpreter in old computers even if the function was often more commonly provided by mask ROMS. Now coming to mask ROMS, they have embedded code that can’t be changed. They also hold code which can be erased and reprogrammed which can hold the data for years. EPROM erasing It is important that EPROM must be blank before they are filled with code or reprogrammed. To make it bla
