OVERVIEW
  UniMax is a high-speed universal device programmer for USB 2.0 PC-interface. It programs a 64Mbit flash memory in 42 seconds. This is a true low-price production oriented system. The UniMax meets the demands of today's programming solution for lab applications.

With high throughput and maximum flexibility , you won't have to worry about a production bottleneck keeping your design off the market. As many as eight UniMax programmers can be connected together, controlled by a single PC with no loss of programming speed, reliability or performance. Each programming site is completely independent of the rest. With independent programming sites, a faulty site can be removed and programming can be continued. Each site is an independent universal programmer, and the system will completely program the first device by the time the operator has inserted the last device.

UniMax is the state-of-art universal programmer offers you the most advanced programming facilities with the most user friendly interface. Since each pin is software addressable, new part numbers are being added to the list of supported devices through software upgrades. No new hardware to buy ! It will prove to be one of the most reliable and long lasting instruments.

The UniMax supports the latest device technologies, regardless of package type.

Maxloader features UniMax programmers in the multiple-programming mode for high volume production purpose. The Gang Program Mode (Concurrent Programming Mode) can program any device and the fault-tolerant architecture allows the programmer to continue production even if one of the programmers should fail.
