ABI ChipMaster Compact Professional IC Tester

ABI ChipMaster Compact Professional IC Tester

Description:

The ABI ChipMaster Compact Professional is a low-cost, hand-held out-of-circuit IC tester. The ChipMaster is designed for testing digital ICs with up to 40 pins through a ZIF socket (see LinearMaster for analogue devices). A range of adapters is also available for SOIC and PLCC devices.

The ChipMaster includes a search facility for unknown ICs, loop modes for intermittent failure detection, diagnostic information for individual pins and self diagnosis for product integrity.

The unit is battery operated (4x AA/LR6) but an optional battery eliminator is available for extended use.

The ABI Compact Range has been recently upgraded and it now fitted with a USB interface to allow connection with a computer and use with the optional software CompactLink.

CompactLink is a PC based software package that allows users to add new devices to the library and create functional tests to suit special applications.

Intermittent Fault Detection:

The ChipMaster Compact Professional is able to locate intermittent and temperature related faults by using its unconditional or conditional loop testing modes, saving hours of valuable time.
Unknown Device Identification

By simply selecting ‘Search’ from the menu, selecting the number of pins on the device and activating Search Mode the Chipmaster Compact
Professional will search its library and identify the device, displaying possible functional equivalents for replacement.
