The UV EPROMs always had a ceramic case because of the quartz window. Use a 2.1 mm plug with the Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until the device reads blank. Getting Started To power up the UV-1, connect a 9 Volt 500 mA DC adapter to the power connector on the side. It was common practice to erase an old version of MWBASIC to a later one hence the scarcity of early version of MWBASIC. They may be labeled as a,b, or c variants with c being the longest. 0

LIFE OF TUBE 6000 HRS; ULTRAVIOLET LAMP. Rare as hens teeth, though I am betting current manufacture eproms are plastic. I mentioned in another comment that I paid $10 for my first sample Blue LED in the early 90’s, when I was working as an engineering technician fresh out of college. They are super common, cheap, and has a mains cable that looks like it’s rated for about 12v. 2. Back in the ealry 80s I used to use a Manaslu(?) There are at least three different kinds of UV bulbs, Black Light, Tanning, and Germicidal. Standard DIP packages cannot be erased with a … The only plastic packaged ones that I’ve seen have been windowless (being low-cost OTP versions of the more expensive originals). � H

At the time, there were neat little blacklights in a box sold to erase these chips. 0000283983 00000 n
The strong smell of ozone and nitrogen oxides the lamp produced made it difficult to understand how anybody would have exposed his skin voluntarily to the radiation of this lamp. Where I live we get like 60 sunny days a year. The eraser operation will not affect the programming unit and both may be in use simultaneously. Near lightning strikes tend to erase-short them. You can still buy 254 nm Mercury tube lights cheaply — they are in those surface sanitizers (which you can get for a few bucks) and work great on EPROMS. Shorter does not always mean better in photochemistry, as light must be absorbed to produce an effect, and if optical absorbance of your particular substance drops at shorter wavelengths, you’re out of luck. These functions make it trivial to store and retrieve the structure data to/from the EEPROM. The Idea here is to use a structure to store data at a specific EEPROM address. Intel recommends this value for the erasure of their Put the chip right under it for hours and no erasure. 0000001651 00000 n
In the source article the author hypothesized that his 5mW LED would only take a few hours. These erasers contained one or more UV tubes and a timer. Those 3W UV flashlights are pretty cheap on eBay, they’re very good for curing UV glue, I guess they would work fine on EPROMs too. In fact, all of them were a perfect verify against the original HEX file. Or focusing Sun on the chip’s window while trying not to melt it. Given enough time the small LED should work but this is a detail worth mentioning since it greatly extends the test cycle. Leave them outside in the sun for a couple days and they will be erased as well. In my experience, inexpensive UV LEDs are too long-wavelength to do the job. Relative size of cell in EPROM is one. 0000004444 00000 n
These memory chips were erased with UV light shining through a quartz window onto a silicon die. Only way to Erase an EPROM is to put it in a UV eraser for Min 30 Minutes after removing the stickers on top of the EPROM chips. I still have it. A germicidal lamp would have done the job. The fact that it has a clockwork timer in 2018 says a few things about it’s age :-). These erased with the 253.7nm mercury line. Unlike PROM (Programmable Read only Memory) It is possible to erase the data from a volatile EPROM by exposing it to a high-powered ultraviolet light source through a device known as an EPROM eraser. I abandoned it and eventually erased the EEPROM using two UV Leds, 5mW each in 48 hours. I’ve been told numerous times that the wavelength of UV LEDs was too long to erase EEROMs. This can’t be done using electrical signals. 0000098481 00000 n

It takes some time to erase the data in EPROM. Ultraviolet Light is used to erase the content of EPROM. SAFETY INTERLOCK; 4 WATT TUBE. startxref
The 3W UV Led (390nm) I bought off Aliexpress was a total disappointment and didn’t do a good job at all! Lol I had dug my EPROM eraser out only a couple of days ago and dusted it off to try and cure some UV glue but the wavelength of the eraser was too short for the glue :(. I’d say that this qualifies as a Fail Of The Week since things didn’t work as planned but turned out to be educational in the process. When programming a bit we can only change a 1 to a 0 because changing a 0 to a 1 requires erasing. 0000192261 00000 n
It works fine, erasing most chips in 20 minutes or so. There is a REASON those three guys got the Nobel Prize. You can also get a nice UV-C source from old streetlights (the kind that doesn’t use sodium), they have an outer shell coated with phosphor (you gently break that off) and the inside is a mercury arc lamp made from quarts…, Just watch out for the exposed leads with line voltage ;-). The description had my hopes up. Probably because, given his location, he may be lacking in the sun department at this time of the year (I’ve barely seen it over the last week myself). My boss knows some EE prof at Purdue and I get the real thing, one of the little 4 watt tubular bulbs with a timer in thirty minute intervals. RCA had a blue LED in the 70s. ), that says the 68000 was going for around $15 at the time ($35 inflation-adjusted to 2017). Still, it works for my uses but I would not leave it unattended! Too long you mean? H. Good condition, some marks (please see photos) Lamp also in good working order. The device was from the 1970ies. There were no blue or violet LED’s prior to the modern LED revolution created by Nakamura, Akasaki, and Amano in the early 21st century. Big Clive got a 4 quid UV nail polish setter off Ebay and says he erases EPROMs with it. It is NEC D2764 and the datasheet clearly says: The uPD2764 is available in a cerdip package with a quartz window as an ultraviolet (UV), erasable EPROM, or in a plastic package as a one-time-programmable (OTP), non-erasable EPROM. Learn how your comment data is processed. WRONG! A common model of retail EPROM Eraser is the Ango LA6A. Thanks! Or does this rapid curing prevent the proper characteristics? A 280-nm UV LED on Digikey goes for about $150 now. Just leave them in the sun a couple days and they will be erased. The vast majority of them are ceramic but there are resin cased eproms with windows. My EPROM, which is the one in the photo, has a ceramic package. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, but as many times as I’ve heard this story, no one has ever posted a picture or a datasheet. Hi Andreas, It depends on the intensity of the UV lamp in the eraser and how close the device is to it. The EPROM eraser wipes out all the data stored in the EPROM by exposing the integrated circuit through the round hole in the card to ultra violet light. Erasure works on the whole EPROM not individual bits. 64 0 obj

It did flip 1-2 bits after half an hour of exposure but one day may try the same experiment with my old grizzly PIC 12C508-JW when my PIC programmer finally turns up. I was wrong about it being after 2000 but it’s a lot closer to 2000 than 1972. 0000250921 00000 n
You could buy them from digikey in the 90s, I know because I did and still have them! The spectrum of iron is educational – lookit all that stuff at the top. The EPROM pack is pushed right into the eraser to turn on the light and erase the pack. Many of the UV fluorescent tubes suitable for curing resist are essentially blacklight tubes. Maybe that’s what this guy used. On Wed, 09 Nov 2005 08:16:33 -0700, 123 <123_at_456.789> put finger to keyboard and composed: Is it possible to build an inexpensive UV EPROM ERASER out of those EEPROM are totally encased in an opaque plastic case. 64 32
The history books have that blue LEDs were not commercially available until the mid-90s. Practical blue LED’s were the holy grail of LED research because with a blue LED you could make white or full-color RGB displays, and that didn’t happen until the modern stuff came about — which it does seem was in the 1990’s, a bit earlier than I realized. LG,3.375 IN. Can five milliwatts do what three hundred watts couldn’t? 0000098807 00000 n
They are UV-A and long UV-B emitting. So only a fraction of the power went to the UV tube. Shorter = more energy, which should mean more effective curing. 0000001392 00000 n
The EPROM Eraser allows you to clear the EPROM, to remove all the files, so that it can be used again. It works, takes about a half hour to do the job, the chips are placed a bit over an inch from the bulb. 3 of 3 Article Reset. They were based on SiC, which is unfortunately an “indirect” Semiconductor which is very poorly suitable for light emission. Yes; the LED had the right frequency to flip a bit, and erasing an EPROM is a function of intensity and time. At least for the chip I had, it took over a month (in summer in Finland) until all bits were clear. To erase an EPROM. When the time comes to erase the EPROM, just pop it under an ultraviolet (UV) bulb for 30 … The whole data is deleted. The on-board 32KB of flash, 1KB of EEPROM, 2KB of SRAM, 8-channel 10-bit ADC, 3 counter/timers, and 3 serial interfaces would have blown their minds; a CPU and whole board full of memory and peripherals crammed into a 10 mm square package. In EPROM, UV light is used to erase the EPROM’s content. According to Wikipedia, the 68000 was “introduced” in 1979, but initial samples shipped in February 1980 and first production began in November. Well theres one good thing that came from China then! UV EPROM Eraser Ultraviolet EPROM Eraser EPROM Erasable Timer How to us UV EPROM Eraser Ultraviolet EPROM Eraser: 1. Back in the day, some electric clothes dryers had UV lights inside the drum for “sanitizing”. I married it to an IR receiver taken from an old VCR and made a “remote control tester”. All you really need to do is shine a LED onto a chip for a few hours. So they were available but also very expensive. Having an instrument of the same model it was easy with a bay sourced programmer and new chips to copy and finish repair. Do you have a source for a ‘blue-violet’ led in the ’70s. The HAD write-up is misleading (presently). As fluorescent lamps go out of style, the nuisance erasure that we used to deal with is pretty much no risk. After enough cycles the metal in the junctions would crystalize and it wouldn’t all erase with UV. None erased after the normal 20 minutes from a regular EEPROM eraser. How: An EEPROM, or Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory*, is erased using a high voltage - higher than the normal operating supply (such as +5V or +3.3V.) All the ones with windows that I’ve seen have been in ceramic packages. 0000004100 00000 n
So I do not need to use my dangerous 4W UV/C low pressure quicksilver tube.
The static power consumption of EPROM is quite high. Blue LED’s were never commercially available during the 1980’s, much les the 1970’s. Early models of the microbee used EPROMs before being replaced with cheaper masked programed ROMs. It was such a significant achievement that they got the Nobel Prize for it in 2014. By using our website and services, you expressly agree to the placement of our performance, functionality and advertising cookies. There’s little need for these chip erasers now, so how do you erase and program a chip these days? According to the datsheet of the EEPROM, the wavelength should be under 4000Å (400nm), which it was for both types of Leds. You could order an appropriate light source and have it shipped to you much faster. Took me quite a bit longer (winter in south pole). yR�|P�'y ��
+�U��|�㫔�]�/x�_xN�8(� Bulbs for killing germs seemed to be a common source of erasing bulbs forty years ago. I popped the same chip under a germicidal lamp and it was cleared in about ten minutes. 4. 3. I do remember leaving some out in the sun all afternoon and then testing them, and it did work. I’ll have to try it, I have a couple I need erasing and the worst that could happen is nothing at all. EPROMS were placed in a drawer which was then closed and the timer set for 20 or 30 minutes, after which time the devices were completely erased. Filter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum Sorry about the wiki link, the really good ones are paywalled. EPROM Erasers were in common use in the age of the MicroBee. The 1st commercial use I saw of a blue LED was a scrolling message board in the school supply shop they had on campus at the high school I went to at the time. You could also get orange but we only dreamed of blue or white. 0000052317 00000 n
Build your own chip eraser using components that would have blown minds back in the 70s. While there weren’t UV LEDs in the 70s but there were blue-violet ones and the jump to UV isn’t exactly mind-blowing despite how long it took. Now, how to erase it is the question, and germicidal lamps are the answer. Wow, Cool idea, i will try this. EPROM’s.” The shortest wavelength UV LED seems to be 365nm, but 395 or 405nm are more typical. I wonder if they erase quicker at 20 below? After all the chips still verified, not a single bit in any of those chips changed, I decided to give up on erasing by the UV florescent tubes (which put out plenty of light for PCB photoresist, usually needing less than 60 seconds exposure). Maybe today’s UV LEDs put out deeper (shorter) UV wavelengths than those old tubes? The ones that the eproms wre designed for are the 253.7nm mercury line emmitting tubes (long end of UV-C), which are quartz and have no phosphor. These old Mercury-Lamp + Heater Combos drove the mercury quite hard which increased the temperature and pressure inside to a point where the mercury itself started to absorb a large portion of it’s shorter-wavelength emissions. An EPROM that is left under too long can become over-erased. But if there were ever blue LED’s before Nakamura they were impractical curiosities that normal people never saw. By driving it with a ballast you dropped the power considerably thereby enabling it to emit harder UV. Newer and more expensive ones should specify whether they’re long or shortwave. Might also be a bit of exaggeration to say the 68000 was “the most popular chip to come out of the 70s”. This is applicable to EPROMs, not EEPROMS (which are electronically erasable). Leaving eproms out in the sun long enough was said to work. \o/. 14 Reviews. Press down the Power Switch to “ON” (for 6pcs type only). The compact desktop DE-4 accommodate up to eight EPROMs and uses a 4-watt shortwave tube with a typical erasure time of 8,3 minutes. Place the Eprom in a programmer and check if it is blank. Reply all. Appearance: EPROM has a transparent quartz crystal window at the top. The C-91 has capacity for 96 EPROMs and features a grid lamp, tube viewports and cumulative hour meter. High quality UV Erasor with pull-out drawer and a capacity of 12 Eproms. The Motorola 68000, probably the most popular chip to come out of the 70s, has a shitload more performance than an atmega32. ERASES UP TO 9 CHIPS IN 11 MIN. I did the opposite: I used a 75W high pressure mercury quartz lamp, which was a converted tanning light, for PCB exposure and occasionally for EPROM erasure. This product is designed to erase programmable IC's such as EPROM's and micro-controllers, which can be erased, when exposed to high intensity UV light. Yes; the LED had the right frequency to flip a bit, and erasing an EPROM is a function of intensity and time. Before their work the only LED colors were red, green, and the combinatorial yellow, and they were much dimmer and less efficient than the LED’s we have now. %%EOF
Thank you for buying the ART UV-1 Eprom Eraser. Evgeny has added a new log for Serial Data Visualization. [Charles] got his hands on an old 2764 EPROM for a project, but this chip had a problem — there was still data on it. An ATMEGA32A-PU is $3, so the order-of-magnitude lower price would have impressed them. }>1�o�F}���q�i� :����_����3m�j��Vg�tY,���!$��{eib+!�{��=

We did have fun, about 1975 in high school, asking the physic’s teacher how they worked. http://hardware.speccy.org/datasheet/D2764.pdf, I have one of these erasers. Using other hardware, the data could be backed up to PC before erasing. They were still working on making LEDs good, especially in terms of output. I put about two dozen EEPROMs with known code under those lights. Problem solved. The Eprom Field Kit includes the EPROM+ software, manual, power pack, and cable. The BK manual states (https://bkpmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/manuals/en-us/851_manual.pdf): “When the eraser is working, the power lamp (LED) will light up, the wavelength of the UV lamp operates at 253.7nm (2537 Angstroms). They will not, in reasonable time, erase an eprom. Thats what I use to do back in the day. 0000002740 00000 n
UV-EPROMS can only be erased by exposure to UV light so EPROM erasers were manufactured for this purpose. About ten years ago, I tried sunlight erasure in NY in the summer, and there was zero data loss after a week of mostly sunny days. <<74D9A0F1B9DF3D48AFD4D97F26EB94A7>]>>
In the 70ies you had red, green and yellow LEDs. I found a NY Times article from June 1984 (introduction of the 68020 at $487 each! And those parts are all ceramic packages. But in reality even after 20 hours it had not reset all the bits. EPROM EEPROM; 1. I still use the UV erasable devices on occasion, and a germicide cycle in a UV sterilizer does the job. If they existed, they must have been used to erase chips in seconds, not minutes. I had a PAR UV light (75-150watt) with a heavy ballast, I’ve seen bouncers with their magic invisible markers using said item. endstream

Using a struct object allows you to group variables together and use the EEPROM.put() and get() to access the EEPROM. Have a stick welder? This also erased the eprom. The EPROM needs UV light to erase the data. 1. All you really need to do is shine a LED onto a chip for a few hours. Fortunately, old electronics are highly resistant to abuse, so he pulled out the obvious equipment to erase this chip, a 300 watt tanning lamp. 0000000967 00000 n
No, I don’t. Instead of buying a tool to erase two or three chips at a time he built his own bulk EPROM eraser from an old metal toolbox. An atmega32 and a UV LED blowing minds in the 70s? 0000251183 00000 n
According to your link practical blue LED’s finally became available around 1993. For a more traditional solution, I got an eraser for about $15 at https://www.aliexpress.com/af/eprom-eraser.html. PixJuan has updated the project titled USB Crank-Stick. 0000004266 00000 n
Probably the 300W bulb was a combined mercury vapor tube and a tungsten filament used as ballast for the discharge tube. Hi, I tried the same experiment back when blue LEDs (and the incidental UV emission when pulsed) became available. Hi, rvnd5d These I2C EEPROM devices do not have a separate command to erase a page. The kit also includes a separate power pack for the eraser which allows it to be used stand-alone if the programming unit is … Again, no changes. 0000003763 00000 n

2. brand geological prospecting / mining light to erase my 2708s and it worked very well. Back in the early 1990s, I tried erasing EEPROMs with UV florescent tubes, which I normally used to expose photoresist for PCB etching. Because you do not want to wait for 3 days? In 1972, not much was available. No kidding…even if you’re good enough to not have much spatter…the sunburn you get immediately if you don’t have gloves is one you don’t soon forget – that’s a lotta output in the short end of the spectrum.

They work great for Halloween parties. 6. Spectroline PE-14T/F - EPROM Eraser, UV Eraser. When I saw “blue” LEDs in the drawer of the electronics shop in the 80ies, they were really IR in a blue casing. The only way round this was to use the eprom eraser, which would wipe all data from the machine. If it is not, repeat step 2 for a further period, say 5 minutes. With this vintage chip erased, [Charles] slapped together an EPROM programmer — with a programming voltage of 21V — out of an ATMega and a bench power supply. Each color was a different process, it took “forever” before blue and white (I recall in that order) arrived. W,8.500 IN. This small chip can retain data even when there is a power outage. It was a portable unit about the size of a house brick. Having said that the below "experiment" (proof of concept) makes the pacifier-sterilizer a quick & dirty alternative solution :) So... the EPROM I erased is an ST Microelectronics 27C256. I’m sure they were not cheap then. you might want to try the sun lol.. about 3-4 weeks.. no seriously though about 20 mins in a cheapo china eraser.. my production eprom eraser takes about 10 min.. really nukes it. Hardly. There are LEDs that go into the 200nm range, but expect to pay well over $30 a piece and they are only for a couple of milliwatts of power…. Lantern Master liked 3d Printed Small Form Factor Pc and Vr Backpack. I built an eraser with a germicidal lamp in a short T4 or T5 tube (4-6w?). Probably older UV LEDs. https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/tech-history/silicon-revolution/rcas-forgotten-work-on-the-blue-led. The price, though, is what would really impress them. He didn’t know. That’s neat a single led consuming sweet FA power will do what my big metal box does! Your mileage may vary but it worked for me when all my attempts with uv lamps etc failed. Then I tried leaving them under the UV lights for a whole week. 0000284219 00000 n
I bought a box off the bay for hardly anything and it only takes a few min to erase a whole batch of chips, but if you only ever need to do this once in a blue moon why not give it a try. 3. The thing is, that UV-C has no chance of going through the plastic housing of the LED, so it probably erases with longer wavelengths as well, just not as fast…. done. TangDe liked My Build log : Jubilee 3D Printer. Need an EEPROM eraser? The whole thing is inside of a light tight box (eye protection), but I can see a blue glow through some cracks to let me know it’s on. I should clarify this was a cheap 1.5 – 2 watt laser engraver – don’t try this with anything too powerful!!! EPROM includes a rock crystal crystal window at the top. DIMENTIONS: 2.875 IN. Nah, the longer the wavelength the longer it takes. 0000001224 00000 n
I am the author of the article. The way they work is that every time you write one or more bytes in a page, that page is erased and rewritten with the old content + new content. My bad — I found another for $2.67. This was in 1997, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuji_Nakamura. Blue LEDs were around as early as 1972.
