SOFI SP8 series is professional programmers specially for programming serial FLASH/EEPROM/SPI memories, with built-in 32-bit high-willarspeed processors and USB2.0 communication interfaces. It supports high-speed programming of nearly all 24/25/93/BR90 chips. In the number of supportive serial memories and the writing speed, it greatly exceeds most general and similar special programmers that cost over 1000 RMB. It has a unique function of ISP online programming and supports more chips with continuous software upgrade. With exquisite shells made through professional mould opening and with advanced software/hardware design, SP8 series overtakes other similar products in both exterior and inner quality.

Performance and Characters
● USB2.0 communication interfaces (real USB interfaces, not USB to serial ports or simulated USB ports)
● Exquisite shells customized with opening moulds (cannot be caught by public-mould shells on the market), small (size: 103x71x23mm), and convenient to use and carry
● SP8 Fully supports WinXP/Vista/Win7/Win10, and perfectly combines 32-/64-bit systems
● Has built-in 32-bit high-speed processors, designed specially for serial memories, achieving high-speed and appropriate programming, and has the highest programming speed in China
● Supports nearly all 93/24/25/BR90 memories, and supports more chips through software upgrade.
● Unique ISP download ports and 10PIN color ISP download cable. On-board patch chips (such as main-board BIOS with SPI interface) can be directly connected to be programming.
● Standard 40Pin locking beds with zero insertion force, applicable to wide/narrow chips and general adapters
● Supports contact detection for pins, and improves reliability of programming
● Perfect over-current and ESD protections, and protection against accidental damages of programmers and computer USB ports
● With mass production programming, it automatically detects the position of chips and then starts programming
● Supports mass asynchronous programming via connecting several programmers to one computer. Plug and write. No synchronous waiting. Top speed and high efficiency
● You can choose offline programming: built-in 128Mbit data memories achieve different kinds of field programming without connection to a computer, and LED and buzzer present auditory signals of success or failure
● It operates easy and you can perform mass programming
● Supports low-voltage (3.3V) and 5V chips
● Provides self-detection for devices
Note: These functions are designed according to specific types, and only SP8-F has all these functions. For details, please refer to the attached correlation table for types.

USB2.0 Interface
● USB2.0 interface combines USB1.1
● Its power supply needs no extra power adapters, and thus is simple and convenient
● Its special USB2.0 chips are not simulated USB or USB to serial ports, and thus ensure the stability and speed of programming
● Its in-built ESD protects circuit, prevents programmers and computer interfaces from induction voltage and static electricity of computer shells, and thus improves the stability and security of programming
High-speed programming
● SP8 is currently the programmers with the highest programming speed in the industry, even quicker than general programmers and similar special programmers which cost over 1000 RMB.
(Take 8M-bit EN25T80 as an example, SP8-A: read-1.24S, write-5.44S; Superpro 580U: read-4.15S, write-9.31S)
● Through built-in high-speed processors and special hardware design, SP8 realizes high-speed and reliable programming, especially for serial FLASH and EEPROM.
● Arithmetic optimizations for different chips
