Discera has announced a portable handheld programmer for
oscillator frequencies. Used in conjunction with Discera's programmable
DSC8002 MEMS oscillators, the Dragonfly allows designers to modify
oscillator frequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz in real-time for system
verification and optimization in the lab or in the field.
With a Dragonfly handheld programmer, engineers can modify
the oscillator frequencies for their new designs, optimizing
performance or verifying reliability by up-clocking systems 5% or 10%.
Engineers can also experimentally suppress interference from
troublesome harmonics by easily tweaking system clock frequencies. With
the Dragonfly's GUI interface that installs on any
Windows-based PC, designs using custom frequency oscillators can begin
production immediately, without the special ordering that many crystal
oscillators normally require.
Pricing and Availability
Discera's Dragonfly Programmer is available now. Each Dragonfly Deluxe
kit includes one programmer, two socket adapters, USB cable, tweezers,
200 DSC8002 programmable blanks and installation CD-ROM. The Dragonfly
Standard kit includes one programmer, one socket adapter, USB cable,
tweezers and 50 DSC8002 programmable blanks and installation CD-ROM.
The Deluxe kit costs US$499 and the Standard entry-level kit costs
US$299.
