i
Note: Keep FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation always in a well-
ventilated area in order to prevent product overheating, which could
affect product performance and, if maintained for a long time, it could
damage product hardware components.
FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation is a low-voltage device. However, when
integrating it inside an automatic test equipment or when interfacing it with other
systems, take all precautions in order to avoid electrical shocks due to, for
example, different ground references.
Make all connections to the target system before applying power to the instrument.
6
To protect FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation against electrostatic discharge
(ESD), always connect yourself to the ground (e.g. via wrist straps) when handling
the instrument.
Always store FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation inside an antistatic bag when
not in use.
!
Disclaimer: when integrating FlashRunner LAN 2.0 Next Generation
please pay attention to place it in a well-ventilated area in order to
avoid overheating related damages.

▪Supports most ISP protocols (BDM, JTAG, SPI, I2C, MON, ICC, SCI, UART, etc.);
▪Flexible, fully configurable;
▪Compact and robust design for production environments;
▪10Mbyte/sec host data transfer.
2.1.2 Hardware features
▪ISP lines:
◦8 digital I/O lines; 1 ground line per signal;
◦2 programmable output voltages; 1 ground line per power line;
▪1 GBytes on-board RAM memory;
▪On-board timekeeper and calendar for time-stamped log file;
▪LAN Communication Interface
▪Optoisolated USB communication interface.
▪Optoisolated ATE interface for standalone operations
▪Programming voltage measure of each channel
▪Programming current measure of each channel
2.1.3 Software features
