Introduction
This document is your guide through all documentation, tools, firmware, libraries, etc. …
The target of this document is that you will understand how the environment is created and how \ where
you can find the correct information to answer your questions.
Hardware
The PTC04 is developed in order to be compatible with most of our Melexis products. Actually, we target
being able to test not only our current products but also all our future Products.
Due to the fact it’s impossible to implement all needs for future products, we have chosen for a main
board and daughterboard concept. The main cost is concentrated in the main board. For all tooling and
software developments, this main board will not change and so it will stay compatible.
As well for Melexis as for our customer, the software development cost and the time for evaluating a new
product on this programmer is limited to the specific needs for the new products. On hardware level, this
might ask for a different daughterboard. This concept also allows Melexis to providing custom made
variants by a cheap, easy and fast solution.
Main board
The main board is a stand alone tester. If we talk about mini tester, we mean a PTC04 on its own (without
Daughterboard).
For all specification and description, electrical and mechanical, we refer to the
This document is always applicable, independent of the tested product. This documentation does not
specify any information about the daughterboard!
Daughter board
The daughter board is the interface between the PTC04 mini tester and the application. The simplest
Daughter board is a few wires only. Normally, there is a standard daughter board delivered with the
programmer when you buy a PTC04.
Melexis tries to develop the daughter boards on such a way it can support a group of products. A
daughter board can easily be ordered by Melexis. The order code mentions the devices name or group
that it can handle.
A daughter board is delivered with:
For documentation about the hardware of a daughter board, we like to refer to the document
Ptc04_DB_xxxxxx_DataSheet.pdf, where xxxxxx stand for the name of the daughter board. In this
documentation you will find all details about connecting your application to the Programmer.
