Product Description


FORTE is a very fast and flexible High-Speed USB In-Circuit Serial programmer for a wide range of popular components - microcontrollers, serial EEPROM and Flash memory chips, CPLDs and others.

FORTE is equipped with an effective over-curent and over-voltage protection. The programmer is powered from USB and it is able to provide the supply voltage for the programmed device in range from 1.8 to 5.5 V or it can work with the externally powered target application. Software for FORTE works under Windows and Linux.

Features

  • Very fast programmer (30 MHz out, 15 MHz in/out)
  • Controlled and powered by USB 2.0 High Speed (480 Mbps)
  • Embedded processor for fast execution of complex operations
  • Both synchronous and asynchronous programming algorithms supported, JTAG support
  • Supported voltage range 1.8 to 5.5 V without any additional accessories
  • Able to supply the voltage from 1.8 to 5.5 V to the external target application
  • Programming interface offers 8 inputs/outputs with individually configurable pull-up/down resistors
  • Built-in fast hardware I/O protection which works independently on the PC software
  • Overcurrent protection on supply and programming voltage sources
  • VDD pin overvoltage protection 
  • GO button makes repetitive operations easy and quick
  • Wide range of supported devices, new software versions with new devices support are freely available from ASIX website
  • RoHS compliant
  • Command line and Windows messages support
  • Works under Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 (both 32 and 64 bit versions) and Linux (using Wine)
