PEmicro offers Cyclone LC and Cyclone FX production programmers. All of our Cyclones are full-featured tools for in-circuit flash programming, debug, and test. Cyclone FX programmers add features like:

• Blazing programming speed saves you valuable time.
• Huge internal memory makes managing images simple.
• Enhanced security features help lock down your IP.
• ProCryption Security leverages RSA/AES encryption and image programming restrictions to protect valuable IP during production
• An SDHC port gives you the convenience of expandable memory.
• Expansion ports enable unique, valuable plug-ins such as a barcode scanner for programming.

Which of these is right for your project? See the table below for a detailed feature comparison between Cyclone and Cyclone FX.
