The hi-lited (yellow) circuit traces show how the part is connected to other components on the assembly. The part shown in the photo on the right is a 95320 serial eeprom. These are existing circuit loading and existing circuit activity. OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS - There are two primary obstacles or conditions which can interfere with successful in-circuit eeprom work. Andromeda Research is know for providing an excellent in-circuit reading and programming solution for applications where unsoldering the part from the circuit assembly is not the desired approach. The AR-32A programming instrument, when used with adapters specifically designed for in-circuit work, provides the best opportunity for successful part communication without removal from the assembly.

In other words make a part which is already connected to other components look like it is not.Īndromeda Research products are designed to work with eeproms and microcontrollers in-circuit. The challenge is to make the part appear to the programming instrument as though it is an unconnected device. In-circuit access to an 8 pin serial eeprom or microcontroller poses a challenge to product designers as the part is not only soldered to the circuit assembly but is also connected to existing components on the assembly itself.
