The Flashstream offers the fastest programming of NAND and NOR flash memory, as much as 12 times faster than current flash programming technology. This industry-leading speed is attributed to BPM Microsystems’ Vector Engine Co-Processor®, which 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.
Designed for high-density flash, the Flashstream programs NAND and NOR flash memory up to 32 Gb and has upgradeable RAM for future densities. The programmer also includes bad block replacement scheme for NAND and low voltage support.
As an additional benefit, multiple Flashstream units can be connected to run the same programming job in concurrent programming™ mode. Also, an LED display identifies the programmer number that corresponds to software instructions.
Featuring the capability to program with one, two, three or four socket cards, the Flashstream offers a single socket card purchase for first article qualification. Additionally, it includes Active, Pass and Fail LED status indicators on each individual socket card, as well as the option of Auto-start on continuity check.
BPM Microsystems released the Flashstream Mark 2 in March 2010. The 2800F-MK2 combines the largest memory capacity on the market with the latest 64-bit architecture to support device data files up to 125.5 Gb with theoretical device size support up to 8Eb.
