Chip programming leader ACROVIEW Technology has announced significant news regarding a major version upgrade of its programming software. Along with the release of the new version of the programming software, ACROVIEW Technology also announced the addition of several compatible chip models, including ASL’s display protocol converter chip CS5563AN. Currently, this chip has successfully completed technical adaptation with ACROVIEW’s flagship product, the AP8000 professional chip programming device, significantly enhancing the compatibility of the AP8000 series devices with chips.
CS5563AN is a high-performance Type-C/DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 protocol converter that can receive video and audio streams via Type-C/DisplayPort links and convert them into HDMI signals supporting TMDS or FRL output signaling. The DP receiver supports a link rate of up to 8.1Gbps across four channels. The HDMI output port can function as either a TMDS or FRL transmitter. The FRL transmitter complies with the HDMI 2.1 specification, supporting a maximum data rate of up to 12Gbps per channel, enabling display resolutions of up to 10K@60Hz using DSC passthrough mode.
HDMI TMDS transmission supports a maximum allowable data rate of up to 6Gbps per channel, providing a 24-bit color display of up to 4Kx2K at a refresh rate of 60Hz. CS5563AN supports DSC 1.1/1.2a compressed video transmission streams with application FEC decoding to ensure visually lossless DSC bitstream transmission.
The HDMI transmitter integrates an HDCP engine that supports HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.3. With the addition of HDCP, CS5563AN allows for the secure transmission of protected content. The embedded key provides the highest level of HDCP key security.

ACROVIEW Technology’s self-developed AP8000 universal programmer has become a benchmark professional programming solution in the industry. This device supports flexible adjustable one-to-one and one-to-eight configuration modes and provides both online and offline dual working modes, especially developing dedicated programming solutions for storage chips such as eMMC and UFS, fully covering the bare chip offline programming and on-board programming needs of ASL’s entire series of chips. The AP8000 adopts an innovative modular design consisting of three core modules: host, baseboard, and adapter, endowing the device with excellent compatibility and expandability. As a universal programming platform, it not only adapts to various programmable chips on the market but also, with its stable and efficient performance, has become the core component of ACROVIEW’s automated batch programming device IPS5800S, efficiently handling large-scale chip programming tasks to meet mass production needs.
The AP8000 host features flexible connectivity options, equipped with USB and NET interfaces, allowing for easy networking of multiple programmers. Through the networking function, users can easily achieve synchronized control of multiple programmers, efficiently conducting parallel programming operations. In terms of safety, the host is equipped with an intelligent safety protection circuit that can monitor the chip placement status and circuit connection in real-time. Once it detects abnormal conditions such as chip reverse insertion or short circuits, it will immediately trigger a power-off protection mechanism, fully safeguarding the safe operation of the chip and programmer. The host is equipped with a high-speed FPGA chip, significantly enhancing data transmission and processing efficiency, ensuring a smooth and efficient programming process. To enhance user convenience, the back of the host is equipped with an SD card slot, allowing users to store project files generated on the PC to the SD card and insert it into the slot. They can then complete file selection, loading, and programming operations through the physical buttons on the programmer, achieving independent operation without a PC. This design not only reduces dependence on computer hardware configurations but also simplifies the setup process of the working environment, significantly enhancing operational flexibility.
In terms of expandability and compatibility, the AP8000 adopts a modular combination design of baseboard and adapter board, effectively expanding the functional boundaries of the host. Currently, this device has achieved support for products from all major semiconductor manufacturers, covering well-known brands such as Melexis, Intel, RICHTEK, indiemicro, and Fortior Tech. It supports a wide range of device types, including NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, EMMC, etc., and is fully compatible with various industry-standard file formats such as Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, and POF, providing users with a one-stop, all-scenario chip programming solution.
