Programmer for Melexis PTC devices
1. Functional Diagram
2. Description
The PTC-04 programmer was designed for efficient, precise calibration of the Melexis families of
programmable ICs. The programmer is designed to be easily adapted to a standard PC and to an
application module to allow calibration of programmable sensor ICs within the operating environment. The
PTC-04 programmer contains its own programmable power supply and measurement circuitry. The
programmer is similar to a standard EEPROM programmer, but adds many special features such as 16 bit
voltage and current measurement capability, and configuration options that will accommodate users from
the prototyping phase directly into production. An IBM compatible PC is required (not included) to load
software to the programmer and control the functions of the programmer.
Communication is done through a standard RS-232 null modem cable to a COM port of the PC or via
USB. The PC requires no custom configuration, allowing the programmer to be used with any PC with a
COM port speed of 115.2kbs or a standard USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 interface.
