What is the expected service life of the programmer in terms of operating hours, days, or years?
Answer
ICP family programmers do not require periodic servicing, as they contain no moving components. They are designed for continuous 24/7 operation and offer high reliability thanks to the following hardware features:
A. No electromechanical components or moving parts are used.B. All target connector lines are hardware-protected as follows:
Vdd: Hardware current limit, source-only current capability, and fast discharge circuit
Vpp: Hardware current limit with PTC fuse and clamping diodes
Clock/Data/T_DIO_x I/Os: High-power series resistors with clamping diodes
