BPM Microsystems’ 2800 universal device programmer on display at SMT/Hybrid/Packaging 2013
BPM Microsystems will highlight model 2800, a member of its manual universal device programmer family, in representative Adaptsys’ booth #7-249 at the SMT Hybrid Packaging exhibition and conference, scheduled to take place April 16-18, 2013 at the Messezentrum in Nuremberg, Germany.
The The ultra-fast programming speed of the 2800 is attributed to BPM Microsystems’ Vector Engine Co-Processor, the same proven technology that established Flashstream as the fastest flash-dedicated programmer. This technology uses a co-processor design to hardware-accelerate waveforms during the programming cycle. Faster speeds are achieved through synchronous operations that eliminate the dead times so that the device under test no longer waits for the programmer. The result is programming near the theoretical limits of the silicon design — the faster the device, the faster the device is programmed.
The 2800 supports all device technologies including high-density NAND flash, NOR flash, serial flash, managed NAND flash, EPROM, EEPROM, flash EPROM, microcontrollers and more with densities up to an 8Eb theoretical limit.
Model 2800 also uses BPM Microsystems’ cost-effective, efficient socket cards with receptacle-base socket option. Individual socket cards can be fully utilized and replaced without dramatically affecting programming capacity. With the receptacle-base socket option, customers can purchase only the consumable socket as needed. The design of BPM Microsystems’ socket cards increases manufacturing uptime, produces higher first-pass yield and saves replacement costs by as much as 75 percent.
