Overview
Silicon Sculptor 4 CE-compliant production device programmer which works along with Silicon Sculptor adapter modules to program the FPGA devices. With 2 GB of internal memory, Silicon Sculptor 4 allows concurrent programming of large parts without performance degradation.
Much like expensive IC testers, the programmer uses high-speed bipolar analog pin drivers with microstrip transmission lines to deliver 800 ps rise times at the programming socket, without overshoot or ground bounce. Each programmer has 240 pin drivers’ standard to allow complete continuity and functionality testing is available on every pin before programming begins, saving time and money, and eliminating frustration
Silicon Sculptor is a powerful programming tool for SmartFusion® 2, IGLOO® 2, IGLOO, Fusion, SmartFusion®, ProASIC® 3, Axcelerator, RTAX-S, SX-A and RTSX-S FPGAs. This programmer is used along with Sillicon Scultptor adaptor modules that are package-specific and dependent on the product family.
The SM48DB module is used for verification of calibration of Silicon Sculptor 4 and it is being sold separately.
