Teardown of an EPROM/EEPROM/Micro/PLD programmer
« on: August 01, 2012, 06:19:55 pm »
For your amusement, I took apart my Modular Circuit Technology
MOD-LPP programmer.  I purchased this from Jameco years ago.
It's just a relabled ChipMAX from EEtools:

First up, the outside.  This unit takes DIP chips from 8 pins to 40 pins
and runs off the parallel port, remember those?

Overall view of the insides. 

We've got a small Xilinx FPGA, a 5202, ancient by today's standards.
And an assortment of switching power supply circuits, driver chips,
and lots of relays.
