Data I/0 Corporation Announces Fastest Programming Support for M-Systems' DiskOnChip Flash Solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2003 FlashCORE programming architecture makes high volume, low-cost production of Flash-memory based products a reality Today, Data I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output (R) Corporation (Nasdaq:DAIO DAIO Direkt-Anlage in Österreich (Austrian Discount Broker) DAIO Defense Agencies-Indianapolis Operations ) released high-speed Flash programming support for M-Systems' (Nasdaq:FLSH) DiskOnChip(R) products. M-Systems DiskOnChip is a family of high-performance, single-chip Flash disks available in a wide range of storage capacities. DiskOnChip technology is ideal for applications requiring growing amounts of non-volatile memory Refers to memory chips that hold their content without power being applied. It may refer to chips that are not changeable, such as ROMs and PROMs, or to chips that can be rewritten many times such as flash memory. to store operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , data, and multimedia content. Designers and manufacturers of mobile phones, PDAs, set top boxes, smart appliances See Internet appliance. , and telecom and networking infrastructure require optimal performance and high throughput programming solutions for prototyping and manufacturing. Manufacturers of these mobile devices and other products with embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. DiskOnChip devices will now be able to use Data I/O FlashPAK desktop programmer, RoadRunner roadrunner or chaparral cock Either of two species of terrestrial cuckoo, especially Geococcyx californianus (family Cuculidae), of Mexican and southwestern U.S. deserts. About 22 in. in-line flash programming systems, or PS300 FlashCORE(TM) Automated Programming Systems to design and manufacture these products. "Data I/O FlashCORE is the ideal programming architecture for our DiskOnChip," said Raz Dan, M-Systems' Vice President of Customer Support. "The speed and stability of DiskOnChip, combined with rapid, reliable programming on Data I/O FlashCORE systems will deliver a true advantage to manufacturers in the race to market with new Flash-based products." Data I/O FlashCORE Architecture Ideal for M-Systems' device technology In a unique partnership, Data I/O and M-Systems engineers ported M-Systems' True Flash File System(R) (TrueFFS(R)), directly to the Data I/O FlashCORE programming architecture. The FlashCORE architecture is the foundation of revolutionary high-speed Flash programming systems that deliver the lowest cost per programmed device. By integrating TrueFFS into the FlashCORE architecture, customers will be able to program DiskOnChip at speeds no other programming method can match. DiskOnChip devices are programmed on the FlashPAK and ProLINE-RoadRunner at a rate of 0.3 sec/Mbit, several times faster than existing programming solutions. FlashPAK(TM) Programming System: Optimized for High-Density Flash Device Programming Data I/O FlashPAK is a high-speed gang desktop Flash Programming System for prototype and production programming environments. The FlashPAK Programming System is designed to program the leading high-density Flash memory devices at near theoretical minimum programming times, and at the lowest cost per programmed part. FlashPAK uses the fastest Flash programming architecture available to deliver unmatched yield and the highest possible throughput. ProLINE-RoadRunner(TM): The world's fastest and most cost effective in-line Flash programming system The ProLINE-RoadRunner an automated in-line programming feeder, is targeted for high-volume users of high-density Flash memory devices including cellular phone, automotive, and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). manufacturers. The RoadRunner removes Flash memory devices from tape, programs four devices in parallel, then delivers the programmed parts to the pick-up point of the placement machine. PS300(TM) FlashCORE(TM) Automated Programming System for high volume programming The PS300FC automated programming system accommodates up to twelve programmers (up to 48 programming sites), surpassing any throughput currently available. Combining FlashCORE programmers with a high-speed handler A software routine that performs a particular task. It often refers to a routine that "handles" an exception of some kind, such as an error, but it can refer to mainstream processes as well. The term is typically used in operating systems and other system software. produces a machine designed specifically for Flash memory applications, and has a unique architecture that delivers the lowest programming cost for high-density Flash devices. This is accomplished by a combination of exceptional programming speed, reliable handler platform, system scalability, and software-based process control.
