True USB Willem Programmers

Model GQ-3X

The True-USB Willem programmer is a new generation fully automatic, high speed Willem programmer.

It uses the USB port for data as well as power supply. Traditional Willem programmers use a printer cable for data communication/data transfer and the USB port for power supply only. 

Since the true-USB willem programmer uses USB port for both data communication and power supply, so only one USB cable is needed when working with the programmer. The DB25 LPT data cable is no longer needed. This feature makes the programmer ideal for use with newer laptops which do not have a Parallel LPT Port. 

Because the true-USB willem programmer connects PC via high-speed USB link, this provides the fastest possible data transfer rates for programming/reading data from target IC's. The programmer is capable of being up to 20 times faster than other existing printer port Willem programmer on reading & verification a high density flash device. 

Hardware Features:

- Utilize USB port for data communication & power supply
- Significantly increase the speed up to 20 times faster than print port willem programmers
- Eliminate the DB25 LPT printer extension cable (data cable)
- Support most of popular devices:EPROM EEPROM Flash PIC ,AVR and more
- The programmer uses on board MCU timer to operate the target chip.
- All DIP switches and jumpers on board have been eliminated. The user no longer needs to worry about the jumper settings. Fully utilize the ZIF socket. All chips will use ZIF socket now, such as 93CXX/24XX/25XX EEPROMs, AVR chips and PIC16F628A, PIC12F508 etc.(ICSP header also available for ISP and for PIC DIP28 DIP40 on the PIC Adapter (sold separately)). 
- Dual Power (USB/DC) supply capability. External DC input jack is available for using a un-powered USB hub or port or for devices that require a high programming voltage. The programmer will do automatic switching between USB power and external Power
- Vcc automatically selected by software among: 3.6V, 5V, 5.5V, 6.2V
- Vpp automatically selected by software among 3.6V, 12V, 12.7V, 15V, 21V, 25V
- On board dual power management will let user to control the different Vpp and Vcc voltage independently during the programming, verification, blank checking and reading operation batch process
- Hardware backward compatible with printer port Willem EPROM Programmer
- Accomadate the existing Willem programmer adapters: like TSOP48/32,16bit EPROM, MCS-51+, PIC+ adapter,SOIC adapter and so on.
- Hardware models: GQ-3X - bare board only with 32pin ZIF socket and GQ-4X - more advanced model in a case with 40 pin ZIF socket.
- USB 1.1 & 2.0 port compatible

Software Features:

- Auto-detect programmer model and hardware revision.
- Binary data editing capabilities, such as Find, Search, Copy & Paste.
- Device search feature provides a fast way to find the device model & part #. 
- The Favorite Devices feature provides another quick way allows user to store regular used devices. Such that eliminated the redundant searching each time. 
- The software provides short cut key to all operations Batch run feature is for quick batch operations.
- Lock and unlock the Flash, EEPROM feature. Example, M29F040B, AM29LV320.
- User is able to add new device ID to the ID library and device list
- Updates software and device algorithm regularly
- Supports Win98SE, Me, XP, NT, 2000, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64 operating systems
- Supports most popular ECU, Satellite, xBox, Wii, BIOS, EPROM chips: SST39VF3201, TE28F102, MBM27C1028,27C1024, 29F800, 29LV800...

Overview 

GQ-4X is the newest model of True USB Willem Universal Programmer series.
With its complete new professional design, True USB PRO 40pin willem programmer GQ-4X is the first & exclusive Willem universal programmer in the market that owns the unique features: 
Neat robust enclosure with 40pin ZIF socket
Fully automatic
JTAG support
Fast mode SPI support
Support O/S XP 32/64bit, Vista 32bit, Vista 64bit
Real True USB interface for both data transfer and power supply
High speed/fastest; most-user-friendly; simplest-to-use
Software update regularly; free life-time software upgrade/download
Multi-languages support capability: Chinese,Czeh,English,French,German,Spanish, Portuguese

The application-oriented & application-enhanced design facilitates GQ-4X supports thousands of most popular application devices (growing) and ideally suits the portable/convenient applications that includes: car automative field ECU chiptuning, airbag reset, mileage, satilite devices, BIOS refreshing, motherboard BIOS in-circuit upgrade, xBox,Wii gaming machines EPROM duplicate, Altera Xilinx JTAG, PIC/MCU development, newer laptop technology and newer desktop PC etc.

It has outstanding performance which supoprts the devices that other similar products are not capable of supporting: such as 25LF SPI series, PSOP44, TSOP48, 25VF SPI series, Altera Xilinx CPLD JTAG, PLCC84, SST39VF3201, TE28F102, 27C1024, 27C1028, HD6475, 29F800, 29LV800, 29F032...
