Announcing the Release of the 3000FS - The Fastest Automated Flash Memory Programmer on the Planet...
3000FS - Uses Flashstream Programming Technology
BPM Microsystems has developed the Flashstream™ Flash Vector Programming System to specifically address production problems associated with large flash memories. If you are experiencing delays when programming NAND, NOR or serial flash devices with in-system, JTAG or in-circuit test, you need to evaluate Flashstream’s three production solutions to save time and money.
The Flashstream programs a 512Mb flash device at 12 times faster than our current flash programmer technology. The 512Mb NAND device cycles through functions of erase, program and verify of a random full data pattern in an amazing 15.4 seconds for four devices, while staying within manufacturer-specified programming requirements.
Vector Engine programming speed and the handling speed of the 3000FS, are combined to give the 3000FS the capability to produce a fully programmed 512Mb NAND Flash memory device every 3.4 seconds or 1,050 devices in an hour . Flashstream currently supports over 350 different Flash part numbers from such manufacturers Samsung, Intel, Spansion, ST Micro, Hynix, SST and Atmel.
We introduce to you the 3000FS, a revolutionary device programmer, that is designed specifically to program NAND, NOR, and Serial flash devices. Combining the best qualities of our robust 3000 series device handling system and our Flashstream programmer site technology, industry experts say, it's the fastest production solution for flash memories in the world.
Breakthrough Speed ... Reducing Cost per Device
The 3000FS offers flexible options for input and output media with choices of tube, tray or tape. If you could program flash memory devices with the lowest programming overhead on the planet, how much higher would your profits be?
* Times are for quantity 4 of 512 Mb Samsung OneNAND™ KFG1216Q2A-DEB5 with functions of Erase, Program, and Verify. Erase function is inside the programming time listed. Full address range of device programmed with random pattern. ** Times will vary based on device characteristics.
