Rapidly Cut Programming Time and Boost Your Profits with This New Desktop Device Programmer for Flash and Other Devices

Device Programmer - Helix


HelixFS - Uses Proprietary Flashstream Technology

We introduce to you the HelixFS, a revolutionary desktop device programmer, that's designed specifically to program NAND, NOR, Serial flash, EPROM, EEPROM devices. Industry experts say it's the fastest flash production solution on the planet.

Universal Automated Programmer – Flash, EPROM, and EEPROM Devices

Add the widest possible device list to your HelixFS. Purchase additional 7th generation site technology and simply replace them with Flashstream sites and, you have an Automated Universal Programmer. Giving it the greatest flexibility in the device programming industry, see how the HelixFS can make your profits sky-rocket.

The HelixFS system is designed to handle a wide range of packages including, but not limited to BGA, MSOP, SOIC, PLCC, SSOP and TSSOP.

Breakthrough Speed ... Reducing Cost per Device

For example, the Samsung 512Mb OneNAND KFG1216Q2A-DEB5 programs at 12 times faster than current flash programmer technology. The device was cycled through functions of erase, program, verify of a random full data pattern in an amazing 15.4 seconds while staying within manufacturer specified programming requirements.

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.

Programming Times for Select Flash Devices

The Secret

Developed by our elite team of engineers, the secret is in our proprietary Vector Engine Co-Processor™, which gives the Flashstream, the programming industry's lowest programming overhead, while maintaining the highest production quality programming signal; an industry first for production programming.

The HelixFS-TU offers two precision-designed tube input and output-handling systems allow for the transfer of parts to and from the tube.

The tube media system is designed to be highly reliable, while still being able to offer throughputs of up to 800 DPH.

Tray

The HelixFS–TR automated flash vector programming system, with integrated tray handling, provides hands-free programming of programmable flash devices.

The precision tray system is designed to handle a 2-tray capacity while integrated software accounts and handles reject parts, and offers throughputs of up to 800 DPH.

Precision automated handling capability, combined with proven programming technology, has expanded our automated system product line to offer an alternative solution for medium volume production programming of flash devices.

Top 3 Flashstream FAQ - Answered

Q: How soon can I get my device supported?

A: Typically, 4 wks, depending on socket and device availability or as fast as one week with paid expedite. However, we currently support hundreds of devices and are increasing our support daily. Contact us about your device.

Q: How is your programmer faster, if your competitor states that they are also at the theoretical minimum of devices?

A: It's true that our competitors have responded to our innovation. However, the main thing to look at is, how long it takes for them to verify the information that was transfered to the device correctly.
The Flashstream is as much as 60 times faster at verification than anyone in the market on certain devices. This is the information not being provided by our competitors. We pride ourselves in being up-front with you from the start.

Q: Can I use the Helix Flashstream or Universal 7th Gen sites as a manual programmer, when they are not installed in the Helix?

A: Yes, the sites can be used as fully-functioning manual two-site programmers when not installed in the Helix. This will allow you to take full advantage of your assets.
