Do They Still Work?

Simply insert a supported chip into the socket, power it on, and get the answer in seconds!
The UCA operates as a standalone tester for quick, on-the-go IC testing,
or as a more advanced chip analyzer when connected to a computer via USB-C.

Versatile

Supports a wide range of ICs from the 70s to the 90s, covering thousands of variations.

Fast

Determines a chip's working status within seconds. Standalone or Advanced tethered Mode.

Secure

Built-in electrical protections safeguard against damage in case of chip failure. Adjustable power limit.

Easy to use

No complex setup nor jumper wires required. Just plug your IC and switch power on!

Open Source

Both hardware & software open source! Use Arduino and Vivado toolchains. Feel free to contribute!
