Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading manufacturer of hardware and software solutions for programming Flash memory and microcontrollers used in Smartphones, tablet computers, automotive electronics and consumer products, will showcase its FlashPak III and ProLINE-RoadRunner™ at the upcoming SMTA Upper Midwest Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, June 9, 2011 at the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel in Bloomington, MN.
The FlashPAK III Networked Programming System is the third generation programming architecture specifically designed to support the latest high-density Flash memory, NAND Flash, Managed NAND Flash, Microcontroller and EEPROM devices at maximum programming speeds and highest quality per device, keeping production processes running at maximum velocity.
In addition to the extensive library of existing FlashPAK support for Flash, NAND and Microcontrollers, the FlashPAK III adds the capability to efficiently program all types of bare and managed NAND devices like MoviNAND, iNAND, e.MMC etc., and devices of any size.
Capable of reading and writing to devices with the fastest speeds in the industry, FlashPAK III is designed to give the highest production throughput possible. In addition, the job download speed has been improved dramatically to enable fast job changeovers. Finally, the field configurable FPGA can be optimized for any device.
Data I/O also will feature the ProLINE-RoadRunner™, a high-speed automated inline programming feeder that mounts directly onto an SMT machine without consuming any additional floor space or altering the production line. The RoadRunner removes unprogrammed Flash Memory devices from tape, programs four devices in parallel, and then delivers the programmed parts to the pick-up point of the placement machine.
The RoadRunner is a Just-In-Time inline programming system and features FlashCORE III, the fastest flash programming architecture available on the market today. In addition, the programmer provides a dramatic reduction in inventory carrying and rework costs, as well as a rapid ROI in only a matter of months.
The ProLINE-RoadRunner can be operated both locally and through a network interface. Design changes can be made as needed and downloaded directly to the RoadRunner’s own IP address. The ProLINE-RoadRunner™ also provides PC Card Support for data and job transfer.
For nearly 40 years, Data I/O Corporation has been the world leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of innovative solutions for programmable devices. Since 1972, we have championed the use and growth of programmable devices in a wide variety of industries and products.
