Wellon GP-20 Standalone Universal Programmer

GP-20 Universal Programmer with standalone mode

This 48-pin programmer is for a wide range of devices (45,000+), including PIC microcontrollers, EEPROMs, dsPIC, AVR, ATmega and other microcontrollers like AT89, plus PLDs and flash memory.
The GP-20 has PC connection and standalone mode - once programmer is loaded, just insert the device and program using button.
It is very fast because it has USB 2.0 interface for Hi-speed data transfer.

The full device support can be seen here, in new window.


Device support in Standalone mode is smaller and can be seen here.

Other Universal Programmers in the range also support Microchip devices or just memory.
See Wellon Programmer Range for an overview of all Wellon universal programmers.

Standalone Mode

The GP-20 can be used as a normal universal programmer connected to PC or in standalone mode. In this mode, you load the programmer from PC and then just press Go button on programmer to carry out programming operations.

Standalone mode can be set to conventional mode where you press the GO button to program the next device or into Mass Production mode. In this mode, once GO button is pressed once, inserting a new chip will automatically start the program cycle.
