Automated device programmers

20 February 2013 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

BPM Microsystems demonstrated two innovative device programming solutions at last year’s electronica exhibition in Munich, Germany.

The new 2800ISP parallel in-system device programmer incorporates the company’s award-winning 8th generation site technology utilising Vector Engine BitBlast into a custom-designed test fixture, allowing its customers to program Flash architectures including eMMC, PCM and Raw NAND, plus MCUs and other device technologies onboard after reflow.

Ideal for medium- to high-volume production, the 2800ISP is configurable and can program up to 16 devices in parallel. High-density Flash memory devices are able to achieve read/write speeds up to 140 Mbps. This solves the test bottleneck while allowing the operator to program the latest data just-in-time, all while attaining a very low programming cost per device.

Also on display, the 3800 automated universal production programmer supports microcontrollers, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, serial Flash, managed NAND Flash, E/EPROM, Flash EPROM, and other technologies with densities up to an 8 EB (1 Exabyte = 1 billion Gigabytes) theoretical limit. Additionally, the system supports devices with voltages down to 0,7 Vdd.

The 3800 is powered by BPM Microsystems’ Vector Engine Co-Processor now with BitBlast technology. The new technology provides an extra boost to programming speeds for managed NAND devices that utilise the eMMC interface, which drastically increases overall throughput.
