UPA USB v1.3 | Professional Microcontroller Programmer — HC05, HC08, HC11, HC12 & SPI Memories

What is the UPA USB v1.3 — and what is it for?

The UPA USB v1.3 is a professional serial programmer for microcontrollers and memories used in automotive ECUs, instrument panels, airbag modules, and other electronic systems. Unlike OBD interfaces, the UPA USB works directly with components—reading and writing chips desoldered from the board (chip-off) or still soldered (in-circuit).

With support for 19 types of adapters for different packages and complete coverage of the Motorola HC05, HC08, HC11, and HC12 families, the UPA USB is essential bench equipment for repairing automotive electronic modules at the component level.

Supported microcontroller families
