BP Micro Improves Speed of All 7th Generation
Automated Programming Systems
BP
Microsystems announced the release of its BP Win 4.60, which features
increased throughput on all 7th Generation automated programming systems.
By altering the site sequence prioritization
routine to allow the autohandler to pick and place parts more efficiently,
the 4710 and 4700 programmers are now able to program up to 1,400 devices
per hour (DPH), an increase from 1,200 DPH. This improvement makes them the
fastest systems with vision centering on the market today. BP Microsystems'
on-the-fly vision system is essential when handling fine-pitched devices
and VSP devices.
In addition, the 3710 and 3700 programmers
are now able to program up to 1,100 DPH, an increase from 950 DPH.
All 4710, 4700, 3710 and 3700 customers
with a current software support contract can benefit from the latest
improvement by downloading the newest version of software through BP
Microsystems' Web site.

· BP Microsystems Adds Support for
msystems' Devices
|
|
|
 BP Microsystems
announces support for the mDOC H1 family of devices from msystems.
Support for the 512 megabyte and 1 gigabyte embedded flash drive devices,
which include MD2433- d4G-V3Q18, MD2433-d4G-V3Q18-P, MD2433-d8G- V3Q18,
and MD2433-d8G-V3Q18-P, is extended on all BP Micro 6th and 7th
Generation manual device programmers in the 115 FBGA package style.
"msystems
is pleased to collaborate with BP Micro on mDOC programming," said
Noam Kedem, vice president marketing, msystems. "This collaboration
is yet another proof to the growing momentum around the Embedded Flash
Drive (EFD) architecture in mobile and consumer electronics devices, and
in particular, the advanced mDOC H-series architecture." "By
working closely with msystems, we are able to provide our customers
support for the latest technology," said John Hall, senior software
engineer at BP Microsystems. "We look forward to future
collaborations with msystems." Support for additional device
families from msystems is currently in development.

· NAND Flash Options Available With
Release of BPWin 4.58
|
|
|
With the release of BPWin 4.58, new NAND Flash options will
now allow users to customize multiple partitions using a single algorithm
when programming NAND devices. Special Spare Area calculations can be
added dynamically as they are needed without having to change the
algorithm. The user can specify partitions with an arbitrary number of
required addresses and specify how they align to the buffer. This feature
is available to all NAND Flash devices that support it.
NAND
Flash is used in numerous applications that involve the data file to be
partitioned. For instance, the file may consist of an initial bootloader,
followed by a bootup image, and data partitions. Depending on the
application, each partition has a logical address to which it must map
for correct functionality. Due to the presence of bad blocks, data on a
device can shift, in terms of the actual address, to which it is
programmed. It becomes essential that the algorithm used to program the
NAND Flash guarantees that each partition starts at the exact specified
logical address on the device. NAND Flash options in the BPWin software
allow for this functionality. The NAND feature also offers Spare Area
schemes that allow fills or ECC (Error Correction Code) calculations
"on the fly" during programming and verifying without modifying
the buffer. Prior to BP Win 4.58 BP Microsystems customized algorithms
for each customer's unique requirements.

· BP Microsystems Teams with
Semi-House Partners to Co-Develop Device Algorithms in BPWin Software
|
|
|
BP Microsystems has revamped its Device Programming Language
(DPL) algorithm development environment in BPWin to allow its over 100
semi-house partners to co- develop and test algorithms for new devices.
This will allow customers to receive faster and more reliable support for
devices just released on the market. The semi-house partners can use a
special version of BPWin software for algorithm development, analysis,
and tests to screen for a specified defect prior to the release of the
device.
"Device
Support is one of the most important aspects of BP Microsystems and the
key to our success is providing customers with fast and reliable
support," said Loc Ha, device support & hardware engineering
manager. "Semi-house engineering can now develop and test algorithms
for new devices in the early stages. These qualified algorithms will be
provided to us for our final testing and release."
