Infinity USB is
connected to and powered by the USB (Universal
Serial Bus) port. Just one standard A-B USB-cable is
needed (no need for an additional DC-adaptor). Being
USB1.1 compliant and working on both USB1.1 and
USB2.0 controllers, ensures future compatibility.
When not in use, Infinity USB enters a powerdown
state using only 0.06 Watt (0.5kWh/year).
Infinity USB programs most popular
smartcards on the market:
PIC-based::
Wafercard (16C84, 16F84, 16F84A)
Goldcard (16F84/16F84A + 24C16)
Silvercard (16F876/16F877 + 24C64)
Greencard (16F876/16F877 + 24C128)
Greencard2 (16F876/16F877 + 24C256)
Bluecard (16F84A + 24C64)
CanaryCard (16F628 + 24C16)
EmeraldCard (16F628 + 24C64)
Singlepic (16F876, 16F627, 16F628).
AVR-based:
Funcard/Funcard2 (AT90S8515 + 24C64)
PrussianCard/Funcard3 (AT90S8515 + 24C128)
PrussianCard2/Funcard4 (AT90S8515 + 24C256)
PrussianCard3/Funcard5 (AT90S8515 + 24C512)
PrussianCard4/Funcard6 (AT90S8515 + 24C1024)
JupiterCard (AT90S2343 + 24C16)
JupiterCard2 (AT90S8535 + 24C64)
FunCard ATmega161 (ATmega161 + 24C64)
FunCard ATmega163 (ATmega163 + 24C256)
Further cards/combinations of CPU/EEPROM will be
added when new cards become available. The generic
hardware/firmware ensures that only a software
download will be needed for adding most new cards.
Infinity USB is based on a 24MHz
RISC processor, and has some of the fastest
programming times of any programmer on the market.
The following are times measured while programming
and verifying entire cards.
| |
Goldcard |
12 seconds |
| Silvercard |
58 seconds |
| JupiterCard |
14 seconds |
| Funcard |
48 seconds |
| FunCard ATmega161 |
50 seconds |
These are maximum times, typical hexfiles takes less
time.
Software runs under Windows 98,
Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP.
It has been developed with ease of use in mind, and
automatically detects which type of card is
inserted. Furthermore it has an advanced detection
algorithm, for detecting unknown cards.
