The chip programming leader ACROVIEW Technology has announced significant news regarding its programming software, which has undergone a major version upgrade. Alongside the release of the new version of the programming software, ACROVIEW Technology has also announced the addition of several compatible chip models, among which is the high-performance converter chip CS5266AN from ASL. Currently, this chip has successfully completed technical adaptation with ACROVIEW’s flagship product, the AP8000 professional chip programmer, significantly enhancing the compatibility of the AP8000 series devices with chips.
CS5266AN is a high-performance Type-C/DP1.4 to HDMI2.0b converter designed to connect USB Type-C sources or DP1.4 sources to HDMI2.0b receivers. The CS5266AN integrates a DP1.4 compatible receiver and an HDMI2.0b compatible transmitter.
Additionally, it includes two CC controllers for CC communication to enable DP Alt mode and power delivery functionality, one for the upstream Type-C port and the other for the downstream DP interface, which includes 2 main channels, auxiliary channels, and HPD signals.
The receiver supports a maximum data rate of 5.4Gbps (HBR2) per channel. The DP receiver combines HDCP1.4 and HDCP2.3 content protection schemes with embedded keys for secure transmission of digital audio and video content.
The HDMI interface includes four minimized transmission differential signal clock/data pairs, DDC, and HPD signals. The HDMI transmitter can support data rates of up to 3Gbps, sufficient to handle video resolutions up to FHD 1080p 120Hz and UHD 4k 30Hz formats. The HDMI transmitter includes an HDCP engine that supports HDCP1.4 and HDCP2.3. With HDCP included, the CS5266AN allows for the secure transmission of protected content. The embedded keys provide 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 operating modes, especially developing dedicated programming solutions for storage chips such as eMMC and UFS, fully covering the offline programming and on-board programming needs for the entire series of ASL 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 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 and is 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 mainstream 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.
