Silicon Sculptor v4.60.1 Windows Release Notes

(Updated on Oct 13, 2006)

Silicon Sculptor Windows v4.60.1 is a service pack of the Silicon Sculptor software for providing an Enhanced Integrity Test for RT54SX72S and RTSX72SU devices.

You will have been informed of this release by email. Do not download this release if you have not received an email instructing you to do so.

Note:

RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU
Starting with the v4.50.0 release and including all subsequent releases, RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU products require a Silicon Sculptor II programmer to program. Programming RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU products with Silicon Sculptor I has been discontinued.

SX-A
Starting with the v4.53.0 release and all subsequent releases, the programming enhancement to SX-A devices is implemented with the enhancement previously included in RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU devices. For all SX-A devices, new AFMs are available with the Libero/Designer 6.2 SP1 release. The v4.53.0 release of the Silicon Sculptor software can take advantage of these AFMs by automatically using new programming conditions previously only available in the Rad Tolerant family of devices. You may continue to use older AFMs because the software will automatically use the older programming conditions in this case. Silicon Sculptor II must be used to program with these new enhancements. A reduced but enhanced set of programming conditions is used for programming all SX-A devices on Silicon Sculptor I programmers.
