Data I/0 Corporation Introduces the PS300FC Networked Automated Programming System for Flash Memory.


Business Editors

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 2002

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.

 FlashCORE(TM) programming technology into its popular PS300 Series automated programming system. Appropriately named the PS300FC(TM), the new system is designed to program high-density Flash Memory devices at near theoretical minimum times and at the industry's lowest programming cost per part.

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.

Moreover, because the new system supports the standard four-socket adapters used by Data I/O's ProLINE-RoadRunner(TM) and FlashPAK(TM) programmers, users will benefit from easy interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. .

Programmer upgrade kits are available that enable existing PP or PS Series programming systems to be field retrofitted with the FlashCORE technology, that install alongside existing Optima programmers.

"The PS300FC answers the real business needs of our customers, offering them the highest programming flexibility and the lowest possible programming cost," said Mark Briant, Data I/O Product Manager for Automated Systems. "Because the PS300 is expandable, inexpensive, and now available with specialized spe·cial·ize

 equipment for fast Flash device programming, it will enable customers to operate leaner at lower programming quantities and more efficiently at higher quantities." He continued, "Based on the same architecture used by Data I/O's ProLINE-RoadRunner, the world's most advanced inline programming system, the PS300FC programs the leading Flash Memory devices at near theoretical minimum programming times."

Costs are driven even lower by using the efficiencies of network control for firmware A category of memory chips that hold their content without electrical power. Firmware includes flash, ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM technologies. When holding program instructions, firmware can be thought of as "hard software." See flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM and FOTA.  distribution and revision. For example, programming center managers will be able to streamline first article qualification and distribution of jobs, globally, reducing their variable costs. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  managers will gain control of their intellectual property as it moves from design to production, and prevent disruptions associated with outdated out·dat·ed

The new system brings the benefits of network control and advanced programming architecture to automated Flash programming environments, assuring that programming is current, secure, traceable and failsafe. For example, integrated with Data I/O's FlashPAK programmers, the PS300FC becomes part of an end-to-end, networked programming solution that ensures the same, current programming algorithm and adapter A device that allows one system to connect to and work with another. An adapter is often a simple circuit that converts one set of signals to another; however, the term often refers to devices which are more accurately called "controllers.  are used at each step of product development and production.
