MultiWriter pps
On-board Gang Programming System

The world’s first parts-on-the-board gang programming system is the high throughput solution for multiple programmable parts on circuit boards and panels.
  Features
  • Simultaneous programming of up to 24 parts of up to 16 different types or families—up to 384 parts at once
  • Programming unique data (date code, serial number, measurements, etc.) on a per-device basis
  • High throughput via fast programming/verification data rates with excellent signal quality
  • Universal programming capability for all device families supported by an extensive protocol library
Application
Programming CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices) such as serial flash memories and microcontrollers after these parts have been mounted on the printed circuit board.

Product Overview
The MultiWriter pps™ on-board gang programming system uses proven, patent-pending simultaneous programming technology to program up to 24 parts each of up to 16 different types at once —up to 384 chips—typically in seconds instead of the minutes required by conventional programmers.

Compared to other part programming solutions, MultiWriter pps delivers significant speed and cost advantages over conventional in-circuit tester-based programmers when more than four parts already mounted on circuit boards must be programmed in a single pass, making it especially effective for multi-board panels.

MultiWriter pps is optimized for applications requiring programming of at least 4 parts per board or multi-board panel.

Advantages of On-board Part Programming with the MultiWriter pps

  • Eliminates the requirement to track different versions of pre-programmed parts, simplifying inventory management and eliminating rework (reprogramming) costs.
  • Unique part- and board-specific data may be inserted into the main programming code ‘on-the-fly’ with the main program code, eliminating an additional downstream programming step.
  • In medium to high volume production environments on-board programming costs significantly less than offline pre-programming by eliminating the separate chip-handling step and reducing inventory costs. Less handling also means fewer part failures.
