Device Programming Error
Probable Cause Solution
Improper device selected Make sure the device selection matches the manufacturer and part
number of your device as precisely as possible. If it doesn’t, select the
proper characteristics and perform the operation again.
Note: Choosing the wrong manufacturer and/or part number (via the Select
device option from the Main Menu) causes the programmer to expect an
electronic ID that differs from the ID in you device.
Faulty device(s) Program at least one more device labeled with the same date code. If the
operation is successful, the original device is probably faulty.
If other devices with the same date code fail, try to program devices
labeled with different date codes. If devices with different date codes
are programmed successfully, the devices with the original date code
are probably faulty.
Note: You may wish to contact the device manufacturer and report your
findings.
Improper algorithm applied by
programmer due to recent
change in manufacturer
specifications
If this error occurs only on devices with recent date codes, the devices
may require a modified programming algorithm.
Note: You may wish to contact the device manufacturer to determine whether
the programming specifications for the device have changed. If they have,
please notify Data I/O Customer Support.
Improper algorithm applied by
programmer due to possible
flaw in programmer software
If this error occurs on devices spanning old and recent date codes, it
may indicate an algorithm-related problem in your programmer
software.
Workaround: On the programmer’s Device List, find the earliest version
of programmer software that supports your device, boot your
programmer with this version, and repeat the operation. If the operation
is successful, you’ve found a temporary workaround.
Note: Call Data I/O Customer Support and report your findings.
Additional Information A device programming error is reported when a repeated attempt to
program a particular cell or fuse has failed. This error may be caused by
a faulty device or an improper programming algorithm.
