The CYCLONE-FX-UNIV is PEmicro’s flagship production programmer — the FX tier’s 75 Mbit/s speed, 1+ GB image storage, Wi-Fi, and included ProCryption security, combined with the Universal model’s full device list spanning ARM Cortex-M, NXP’s 8-/16-/32-bit legacy families, Infineon TriCore, and (with the Renesas adapter) Renesas RH850/RL78/RX600 and related families. It’s the model for a production floor that can’t standardize on a single device architecture and doesn’t want to standardize on more than one programmer, either.
Highlights
- The complete PEmicro device list on the fastest hardware tier — ARM Cortex-M, NXP 8-/16-/32-bit legacy families, ColdFire, Power Architecture, DSC, STMicroelectronics SPC5, Infineon TriCore, and Renesas (with adapter) all on one Cyclone
- Up to 75 Mbit/s programming and 1+ GB of on-board storage for 200+ Images — no trade-off between device breadth and production throughput
- ProCryption RSA/AES encryption and programming count/date limits included, protecting IP across every supported architecture from one licensing line item
- Wi-Fi, SDHC card expansion, barcode-triggered job selection, and pre-programming test/current/voltage measurement round out the feature set for high-mix, high-volume lines
- The only Cyclone model that supports Infineon TriCore (AUDO TC1xx, AURIX TC2xx/TC3xx) and, with the Renesas adapter, Renesas RH850/RL78/RX600 device families
Where it earns its keep
- Contract manufacturers and multi-product OEMs running ARM, legacy NXP, TriCore, and Renesas designs across different lines who want one programmer model, one spares inventory, and one set of operator training
- High-volume production where both device breadth and 75 Mbit/s throughput are non-negotiable
- Facilities standardizing their whole production-programming fleet on a single SKU to simplify procurement and Cyclone Control automation scripting across every line
Programming more than one board at a time? The Cyclone MultiChannel gang programmer runs the same Cyclone images on 4 to 16 independent channels in parallel, for panelized and high-volume production.
