BeeProg3 is next member of Elnec universal programmer series, built to meet the strong appeal for an extremely fast and reliable programmer for high-capacity memories.
BeeProg3 is designed with great emphasis on technical perfection and speed of hardware, this programmer perfectly fits for high-demanding desktop programming
as well as for automated programming systems and ATE machines, where ensures the highest quality and overall yield.
BeeProg3 programmer core is based on a state of the art FPGA, powerful ARM processor and internal SSD to be ready to program devices at theoretically possible speeds.
The achieved ultra fast programming speed - more than 22,5 MB/s continuously - is actually higher, than real devices supported so far can utilize.
This is reflected in extremely short programming times.
For example, the 2 GB eMMC NAND Flash could be done in less than 100 sec - if programmed memory allow that speed.
Tests show, the BeeProg3 is currently faster than all competitors in this price category (status: 10/2014), for many chips it the fastest at all.
BeeProg3 supports all kinds of types and silicon technologies of today's and tomorrow's programmable devices.
It partially supports also devices "from yesterday".
You can be sure that the next devices support will require the software update only, at the most (if necessary) simple programming module, therefore the cost of ownership is minimized.
You have a freedom to choose the optimal device for your design.
For the proper and reliable programming of ultra-fast memories the BeeProg3 utilizes specialized modules, optimally designed for specific device families, exactly according to the needs of programmed devices.
But if it is possible, then universal programming modules, dedicated for IC package type, are used.
The programming modules are identical for all programmers based on the BeeProg3 programming core (BeeHive304 for example).
Programming modules construction is designed for perfect stability at the top of the programmer,
to be tough enough for insert/replace chips by mechanical arm and also allows keeping identical position of ZIF socket also after replacing of the module.
BeeProg3 interfaces with any IBM PC compatible personal computers, running MS Windows OS, through USB (2.0 High Speed) port or 100 Mb LAN port (via switch or router).
With its very competitive price together with excellent hardware design for reliable programming, it is probably the best "value for money" programmer in this class.
The 64-pin rich-features, precise and powerful pindriver of BeeProg3 deliver high speed, accurate and clean waveform signals to the device by eliminating noise,
ground bounce and overshoot, which maximizes programming yield and guarantees long data retention.
This also allows the reliable support of virtually any nonvolatile technology used for programmable devices - (E)EPROM, Flash, MRAM, PCM, ... - by a single device programmer.
FPGA based totally reconfigurable TTL pindrivers provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability for each pin of the device.
The dual H/L drivers enables to provide two different H levels for both core signals and I/O signals of programmed device without additional logic.
Programmer pindrivers operate down to 0.8V, therefore the programmer is ready to program the full range of today's and tomorrow's advanced very-low-voltage devices.
Extremely fast programming, achieved by using FPGA based state machine, fast processor and SSD, allow execution of all time-critical routines and data transfers inside of the programmer.
The programmer performs a device insertion test (wrong or backward position) and contact check (poor contact pindriver to socket) before it programs each device.
These capabilities, supported by overcurrent protection and signature-byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
The selftest capability allows running the diagnostic part of software to thoroughly check the health of the programmer.
Built-in protection circuits eliminate damage of programmer and/or programmed device due to environment or operator failure.
All the inputs of the BeeProg3 programmer, including the pindriver signals, connection to PC and power supply input, are protected against ESD up to 15kV.
Banana jack for ESD wrist straps connection to easy-to-implement the ESD protection control.
The programming modules are available for devices in
Note: orientation of ZIF socket and device reference pin are set with effort to achieve perfect functionality and ergonomic, therefore may be different at different AP3 programming modules.
The programmer is driven by a comfortable and easy-to-use control program with pull-down menu, hot keys and on-line help. The software runs on all versions of MS Windows from Windows XP to Windows 8 (32bit and 64-bit).
