This user manual provides the descriptions of StarProg-ATE hardware features, applications

and software installation guidelines.

StarProg-ATE is a solution for updating the programmable memory of ICs that have been

welded to the PCBA; it is also for R/D and productions. When working with production,

StarProg-ATE supports the USB controls (This provides serial programming), standalone

programming, and integrates with the controlling programming for ATE system. According to

your production demands, you can choose up to eight projects files through ATE port during

standalone programming.

projects. (It is based on cubic of two.)

Reset: Reset the input pins. It is for controlling the multiple projects in standalone mode. If

you need to change the project file, you will only need to reset the SEL0~2, and the Reset

should be driven low pulse. The programmer will reset the project based on the SEL0~2.

OPT_VCC: VCC voltage input, which requires ATE system to provide electricity.

OPT_Start (Input): A control pin. Normally stays at pull up internal. The programmer will

switch to low pulse (>1000ms) when it is ready for operation

OPT_Busy (Output): A status pin. Normally stays at low voltage. When the programmer is busy,

it will switch to high voltage.

OPT_Pass (Output): A status pin. Normally stays at low voltage. It will switch to high voltage

when the programming has completed successfully.

OPT_Fail (Output): A status pin. Normally stays at low voltage. It will switch to high voltage

when error occurs.

3.3V: Fixed outputs voltage is 3.3V

GND: Programmer grounding.

6. Batch Setup

Step 1. Set up the Batch Setting in Config


www.dediprog.com 13

Step 2. Click Auto batch to start programming

7. Save and Load the Project File. SavePrj will save the entire select, load, and config settings into a project file (*.dprj). On the other hand, the Load Prj can import the previous project files.

8. Production Mode Steps

Step 1. Choose a project (SelectPrj) Step 2. Run the Project (RunPrj) Step 3. Click the start button when it is available (as shown), and then click StopPrj to stop.

VI. Applications In the engineering mode, once the StarProg-ATE has been tested and created a project file (*.dprj), there are several methods to conduct a production.

Method A. Through Dediware Operate and monitor all the production processes through Dediware. All the procedures will be recorded in the log and it can program serial numbers as well.

Step 1: Test and save the project (*dprj) under Dediware engineering mode. Make sure you select “Start from handler” for start mode in the Config window. Step 2: Select production mode and import project files to start programming.

ICP USB


www.dediprog.com 15

Method B: Through CLI CLI can integrate with the production software. Importing project files to start according to your production demands. However the log and the serial number programming are not available under this circumstance.

Step 1: Test and save the project (*dprj) under Dediware engineering mode. Make sure you select “Start from handler” for start mode in the Config window. Step 2: Connect the CLI (Command line) with your production software and import project file to proceed. Please use the CLI that is provided by DediProg.

*If you want to know more about CLI details, please contact DediProg.

Method C. Standalone Programming (Use start button) Standalone does not require a computer for programming. Just insert a SD card with projects files, connects power cables to StarProg-ATE and press the start button to begin.

Step 1: Test and save the project (*dprj) under Dediware engineering mode. Make sure you select “Start from handler” for start mode in the Config window. Step 2: Write a batch file (*.bat) and connect it to every project file (*dprj) that you demand.

Step 3: Copy the batch files and the project files to StarProg-ATE’s mini SD card root through the card reader. Step 4: Insert mini SD card to the programmer and connect the power adaptor that we provided. Wait for five seconds and start programming by transferring the OPT_Start at a low pulse (remain above 100ms).

*More details about standalone programming, please see VIII. Standalone Preparation section

or StarProg-ATE Application Note.

Method D. ATE Integration (Through ATE port control) Through integrates the StarProg-ATE and the ATE port. Load the project files to a SD card, select the files through ATE port, and then start programming (Maximum of eight project files)

Step 1: Test it under Dediware engineering mode, and then save the project file as *.dprj. Use start mode to set-up the handler. Step 2: Write a batch file (*.bat) and connects to every project file (*dprj) that are needed. Step 3: Copy the batch files and the project file to StarProg-ATE’s mini SD card sub-menu through the reader. Step 4: Insert mini SD card to the programmer and connect the power adaptor that we provided. Wait for five seconds and start programming by transferring the OPT_Start at a low pulse (remain above 100ms).

*Please see VII. ATE Integration (through ATE Port)or StarProg-ATE Application Note for further

information.

VII. ATE Integration (through ATE Port)

There are two ways to use ATE port for standalone programming. If running a single standalone programming, then connect the StarProg-E and the ATE port as followings: OPTO_GND => Grounded with ATE system OPT_VCC => Connects 5~24V OPT_Start => Send a 100ms Low pulse (pull-up internal, and drive low) to operate

OPT_Pass、OPT_Busy、OPT_Fail =>Normally stay at low voltage normally, but it will switch

to high voltage when it is activating. If running multiple of standalone programming, then connect the StarProg-E and the ATE port as followings: OPTO_GND => Grounded with ATE system OPT_VCC => Connects 5~24V OPT_Start => Send a 100ms Low pulse (pull-up internal, and drive low) to operate

OPT_Pass、OPT_Busy、OPT_Fail => Normally stay at low voltage normally, but it will switch

to high voltage when it is activating. SEL0~2 => There are eight sets for selection according the cubic of two.

When you change the project file, the Reset is to restart the programmer. Please refer to the steps to reset. Step 1. Set SEL0~2 to choose project file. Step 2. Reset should be driven low pulse to reset the programmer. Step 3. Programmer will download the project according to SEL0~2. Step 4. Drive low to OPT_start for programming.

VIII. Standalone Preparation

First, create an autorun.bat file, and then edit the contents through the editing software (Ex. Text). The editing rules are: If it is a single file, modify projectname.dprj to your project name.

If you are choosing the files from SEL0~2 through ATE port, change Projectname1.dprj~Projectname8.dprj to your own project names.

*For more information please see the StarProg-ATE application note.

AUTORUN = projectname.dprj

AUTORUN = SEL

0 = projectname1.dprj
