» News Highlights


Extra Large Format ProLINE-RoadRunner XLF for Automotive Applications

The world's only Just-In-Time programming solution has been extended to support large geometry devices up to 32 mm, in 44 mm tape. Driven by high pin count packages, device geometries have grown predominantly for microcontrollers. 

Using variable-width tape input modules, the ProLINE-RoadRunner XLF supports the entire family of memory and microcontroller devices available on Data I/O's FlashCORE automated programming and handling systems.

By way of direct attachment to the SMT placement machine, the In-Line programming system is optimal for lean manufacturing and six sigma environments. Code changes can be delivered directly to the ProLINE-RoadRunner XLF on the product assembly line such that re-work of programmed device inventory is minimized.

Using Data I/O's proprietary High Insertion Count (HIC) adapter modules, the RoadRunner delivers the highest yields available in the industry. Only 100% known-good devices are delivered to the pickup point of the placement machine. The RoadRunner attaches directly to SMT placement machines and thus consumes no additional floor space.

For more information and product specifications, please see www.dataio.com in the Americas, www.dataio.de in Europe, and www.dataio.cn in Asia.


Serial Number Server Now Supported on FLX500 Automated Desktop System

Data I/O's Serial Number Server (SNS) provides the complete solution for programming unique numbers or other dynamic data from your external source file during the production process. Examples of unique data include serial numbers, MAC addresses, and product ID codes.

File formatting and conversion utilities are included in the software as is byte swap support and post-programming reporting. The dynamic data are only included in successfully programmed devices, and the server tracks used and unused numbers.

Previously supported on the ProLINE-RoadRunner, PS family, and FlashPAK programming systems, the application software has now been extended for operation with the FLX500 automated desktop system.

For more information on the Serial Number Service application software or the FLX500, please contact your local Data I/O sales representative under http://www.dataio.com/contact/

Flash Boost Provides 3X Speed Gains for 8- and 16-bit NAND Devices

As device densities and image file sizes continue to expand quickly, so does the need to maintain and improve programming system performance.

Because of the field configurability of the FlashCORE programming technology (hardware), programming and verifying times for high density NAND devices can be easily implemented by simply loading the Flash Boost algorithms.

Data I/O has begun shipping Flash Boost algorithms that execute on the current generation FlashCORE II platforms (RoadRunner, PS, FLX, FlashPAK). Previously installed FlashCORE I platforms need to be upgraded to the FlashCORE II platform to run the Flash Boost algorithms.

Please see the table below for examples of the significant performance gains delivered by Flash Boost. This level of performance improvement can have an immediate and dramatic impact on product assembling
efficiency.

One year of Annual Programmer Support (APS) is included in new FlashCORE system installations. The APS program is available as an annual renewable program for maintaining and increasing the productivity of Data I/O's systems.

Current users of FlashCORE II platforms with APS programs in place will receive the Flash Boost performance algorithms as part of this value extension program. For more information on the Flash Boost algorithms or upgrading to FlashCORE II, please contact your local Data I/O sales representative under http://www.dataio.com/contact/
