Acroview Technology, a leader in chip programming, has announced an expansion of its compatible chip model range with the release of a new version of its programming software. Its universal programming platform AP8000 now fully supports Aurasemi's jitter-attenuating clock AU5619B00-QMR, providing customers with efficient and reliable professional programming support.

The AU5619B00-QMR provides a programmable dual-channel fractional-frequency-conversion-based jitter-attenuating clock synthesizer, offering flexible input-to-output frequency conversion options. Its ultra-high-performance DPLL supports up to 4 differential and 8 single-ended input clocks. Two fractional frequency converters can be independently selected for the clock, and 12 clock outputs are provided. Clock outputs are derived from the two PLLs in a highly flexible manner.

The AU5619B00-QMR is housed in a 9×9 mm QFN package and uses an external crystal. The device can be configured via an I2C/SPI interface, or customer-required configurations can be factory-programmed into the device's non-volatile memory (NVM). The NVM supports one-time programming.

Performance

• Ultra-high-performance PLL fully integrated design, requiring no external components
• 85 fs typical RMS integrated jitter (12 kHz–20 MHz)
• 70 fs typical RMS integrated jitter (with embedded crystal LGA package)
• 122.88 MHz output with excellent close-in phase noise performance
• Fully flexible output and input multiplexers: high flexibility in PLL output distribution
• JESD204B/C support for data converter clocks
• External EEPROM supports frequency control DCO: DCO control is provided on all outputs (0.001 ppt)
• Phase control DCO: fine phase adjustment knob (adjustment accuracy <1 ps) for the phase of all PLL outputs in closed-loop and open-loop modes
• Best-in-class seamless switching: PBO phase jump below 25 ps; PPG mode and FrequencyRamp mode provide adjustable frequency/phase slopes
• Fully integrated bandwidth-programmable loop filter for jitter and wander attenuation, down to 0.09 mHz
• Repeatable input-to-output delay with output relative delay adjustment
• Input-to-output delay variation of less than 0.5 ns in internal ZDB mode (this mode can be independently enabled for each PLL)
• Outputs can be phase-aligned on independent synchronization pulses
• Available in a 64-pin 9×9 mm QFN/LGA package; integrated embedded crystal option is available at ordering

Functional Block Diagram

The AP8000 universal programmer independently developed by Acroview Technology has become a benchmark professional programming solution in the industry. The device supports flexible and adjustable one-to-one and one-to-eight configuration modes and provides online and offline dual operating modes. In particular, dedicated programming solutions have been developed for storage chips such as eMMC and UFS, fully covering bare-die offline programming and on-board programming requirements for the entire Aurasemi chip series. The AP8000 adopts an innovative modular design with three core modules—main unit, base board, and adapter socket—giving the device excellent compatibility and expandability. As a universal programming platform, it can not only support various programmable chips on the market, but also, with stable and efficient performance, serves as a core component of Acroview's automated mass programming equipment IPS5800S, efficiently handling large-scale chip programming tasks and meeting mass production requirements.

The AP8000 main unit offers flexible connection methods and is equipped with both USB and NET interfaces, enabling convenient networking of multiple programmers. Through the networking function, users can easily achieve synchronous control of multiple programmers and efficiently carry out parallel programming operations. In terms of security, the main unit has a built-in intelligent safety protection circuit that can monitor chip placement status and circuit connection conditions in real time. Once abnormalities such as reverse chip insertion or short circuits are detected, it immediately triggers a power-off protection mechanism, safeguarding the safe operation of chips and the programmer in all aspects. The main unit is equipped with a high-speed FPGA chip, greatly improving data transmission and processing efficiency and ensuring a smooth and efficient programming process. To enhance ease of use, an SD card slot is provided on the back of the main unit. Users only need to store project files generated on a PC to an SD card and insert it into the slot, then complete file selection, loading, and programming operations through the programmer's physical buttons, achieving standalone operation without a PC. This design not only reduces dependence on computer hardware configuration but also simplifies the work environment setup process and significantly improves operational flexibility.

In terms of expandability and compatibility, the AP8000 adopts a modular combination design of base board and adapter board, effectively expanding the functional boundaries of the main unit. At present, the device supports products from all mainstream semiconductor manufacturers, covering well-known brands such as HAAWKING, XHSC, ZHIXIN, SAMSUNG, and KIOXIA. It supports a wide range of device types, including NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, eMMC, etc., and is fully compatible with multiple industry-standard file formats such as Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, and POF, providing users with a one-stop, full-scenario chip programming solution.
