The Optima, with its interchangeable TOPs and upgradeable pin drivers give you more flexibility for today’s as well as tomorrow’s programming requirements. Compared to other Data I/O programmers, the Optima is the best value for customers programming a medium mix of devices.


Product Description

The Optima provides universal, highly flexible device programming support for memory, microcontroller and logic devices. It comes standard with the 48-pin DIP TOP and can easily and reliably support a wide variety of packages and pin-counts with optional TOPs.
