BPM to Exhibit Flashstream at Nepcon EMT South China 2007
HOUSTON — August 24, 2007 — BPM Microsystems will be exhibiting its newest device programmers, the manual Flashstream Flash Vector Programming System and the automated HelixFS-TR, in distributor Kasion Automation Limited’s booth 2E21 at the upcoming Nepcon/EMT South China 2007 trade show and exhibition - scheduled to take place August 28-31 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center in Shenzen, China.
The Flashstream Flash Vector Programming System offers the fastest flash programming of NAND and NOR flash memory at speeds as low as 2.5 percent over theoretical programming minimum. This industry leading speed is due to the creation of a proprietary co-processor technology developed by BPM called Vector Engine, which accelerates flash memory waveforms during the programming cycle. Faster speeds are achieved through synchronous operations that eliminate the dead times when the DUT waits on the programmer. The result is programming near the theoretical limits of the silicon design — the faster the device, the faster the device is programmed.
Designed for high-density flash, the Flashstream programs NAND and NOR Flash up to 32 Gb (gigabit) and has upgradeable RAM for future densities. It comes standard with 4191 Mb (32.7 Gb) memory per site that is upgradeable to handle future densities and communicates with USB 2.0 between the host PC and programmer. The programmer also includes bad block replacement scheme for NAND and low voltage support.
“The industry difference with Flashstream is the Vector co-processor, which does accelerate standard programming waveforms at a proprietary speed. We are proud that our engineers developed it in our Houston facility,” said Bill White, president and owner of BPM. “The Flashstream programming platform has been years in the making and we are happy with the results and the benefit to the electronics industry.”
The Flashstream programmer has the capacity to support NAND and NOR flash memory devices as well as EPROMs. New device requests will be taken for Flashstream and distributed to all Flashstream customers under software contract.
BPM Microsystems is now accepting and shipping orders for all Flashstream products.
