/> Pietro Poletto, Algocraft CEO, commented: “I am very pleased that A.T.E. Solutions agreed to become our distributor in the UK. We evaluated several candidate companies but chose A.T.E. Solutions for not only their extensive experience in the development of test systems but also for their reputation with major electronic board manufacturers.”

Algocraft’s proprietary WriteNow! ISP technology is considered a breakthrough in the programming industry, and the products are already supporting almost 3000 devices (such as microcontrollers, memories and CPLDs) from silicon vendors that include Atmel, Cypress, Freescale, Infineon, Microchip, Nxp, Ramtron, Renesas, Sanyo, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments.

The WriteNow! ISPs work in standalone configuration or connected to a host PC (via RS-232, LAN or USB). Three product versions are available for programming single targets (the WN-PRG01A) or for programming up to four or eight targets in parallel (the WN-PRG04A and WN-PRG08A respectively).

Steve Lees, Managing Director of A.T.E. Solutions, concluded: “Algocraft’sWriteNow! in-system programmers are best-in-class and we’re delighted to not only provide representation and support in the UK but also to be able to add the programming capability to the custom automated test solutions we’re making for customers in the UK and elsewhere in the world.”
