8th Generation Automated Programmer

The model 3800 is a fine-pitch automated device programmer that combines 8th Generation universal device support, BPM Microsystems’ unrivaled Vector Engine Co-Processor’ technology, and on-the-fly vision centering all in a single platform.

Universal Device Support

The model 3800 is designed to program Microcontrollers, high density flash memory, E/EPROM and other device technologies with densities up to an 8 Eb theoretical limit. It also supports very low voltage devices down to 0.7 (Vdd).

Speed

BPM Microsystems’ Vector Engine Co-Processor hardware-accelerates waveforms during the programming cycle. Faster speeds are achieved through synchronous operations that eliminate the dead times so the device under test no longer waits for the programmer. The result is programming near the theoretical limits of the silicon design ? the faster the device, the faster the device is programmed.

Robust Handler

The model 3800 uses the same proven robust design as BPM Microsystems’ 3000 series device handling system. Integrated into the model 3800 is the LaserAlign? sensor from CyberOptics®which demonstrates repeatable pick-and-place accuracy, high performance and little operator involvement from job teaching to device placement. The programmer also offers flexible options for input and output media with choices of tube, tray or tape.

Socket Cards

BPM Microsystems’ socket cards with a receptacle socket option offer the most cost-effective and efficient programming solution in the industry. Individual socket cards can be fully utilized and replaced without dramatically affecting programming capacity. The fault-tolerant socket card design increases your manufacturing up-time, produces higher first-pass yield, and saves replacement costs by as much as 75 percent.
