PRO MATE: Universal Programmer
The PRO MATE Universal Programmer is a full-
featured programmer capable of operating in stand-
alone mode as well as PC-hosted mode.
The PRO MATE has programmable VDD and VPP
supplies which allows it to verify programmed memory
at VDD min and VDD max for maximum reliability. It has
an LCD display for displaying error messages, keys to
enter commands and a modular detachable socket
assembly to support various package types. In stand-
alone mode the PRO MATE can read, verify or program
PIC16C5X, PIC16CXX and PIC17CXX devices. It can
also set fuse configuration and code-protect bits in this
mode.
In PC-hosted mode, the PRO MATE connects to the
PC via one of the COM (RS-232) ports. PC based user-
interface software makes using the programmer simple
and efficient. The user interface is full-screen and
menu-based. Full screen display and editing of data,
easy selection of fuse configuration and part type, easy
selection of VDD min, VDD max and VPP levels, load
and store to and from disk files (hex format) are some
of the features of the software. Essential commands
such as read, verify, program and blank check can be
issued from the screen. Additionally, serial program-
ming support is possible where each part is pro-
grammed with a different serial number, sequential or
random.
The PRO MATE has a modular “programming socket
module”. Different socket modules are required for
different processor types and/or package types.
PRO MATE supports all PIC16C5X, PIC16CXX and
PIC17CXX processors.

PICSTART Low-Cost Development
System
The PICSTART programmer is an easy to use, very
low-cost prototype programmer. It connects to the PC
via one of the COM (RS-232) ports. A PC-based user
interface software makes using the programmer simple
and efficient. The user interface is full-screen and
menu-based. PICSTART is not recommended for
production programming.
