Key Features
FlashPro Lite is used exclusively with the ProASICPLUS family. FlashPro Lite provides all required programming voltages. The programming connection to the target board is a 26-pin SAMTEC micro header on the target board. A replaceable programming cable is connected to the FlashPro Lite. FlashPro Lite is conveniently powered by the target board.
If the PC/Laptop does not have a parallel port a PCMCIA to parallel port converter can be used as an alternative. To program the ProASICPLUS device via USB, QuickFlash Programmer can be used as an alternative. Microchip has tested the functionality of the QuickFlash Programmer. However, Microchip is not responsible for programming or functional failures resulting from the usage of this third party programmer.
