Device Programmers

WG Electronics as an authorized distributor of worldwide known brands - manufacturers of device programmers, invites you to visit web pages dedicated to the offer of our partners:

Device programmers are instruments for permanent writing of semiconductor structures in devices and equipment as:

• (E)EPROM, FLASH memory ICs
• MCU microcontrollers ICs where (E)EPROM, FLASH memories are integrated
• Programable Logic Devices (PLD), where programmable connection array determinate functionality
• SD cards and USB sticks where FLASH memories are integrated
• Others specialized equipment based on programable memories, MCUs or PLDs

Device Programmers can be qualified as follows.

• In terms of functionality as:
  • Universal Device Programmers – supporting a wide range of devices and semiconductor vendors
  • Specialized Device Programmers – supporting selected type of devices or selected semiconductor vendor
• In terms of application as:
  • Engineering Device Programmers – dedicated for engineering – to be used in laboratories
  • Production Device Programmers – dedicated for production - to be used on production lines
• In terms of programming method as:
  • In-Socket Device Programmers – programming devices before their assembly on PCBs in ZIF sockets matched to device package
  • In-System Device Programmers (In System Programming) – programming devices in target system after their assembly on PCBs
• In terms of number of programmed in parallel devices as:
  • Single-Site Device Programmers – programming in parallel only one device
  • Multi-Site Device Programmers – programming in parallel more than one device
• In terms of applied communication interface as:
  • USB Device Programmers – where standard USB interface is used to communicate with the host
  • LAN Device Programmers – where standard LAN interface is used to communicate with the host
  • LPT Device Programmers – where traditional LPT interface, popular in the past, is used to communicate with the host
• In terms of the way of operation:
  • Manual Device Programmers – where devices are inserting into and after operation are taking from programming socket manually
  • Automated Device Programmers – where devices are inserting into and after operation are taking from programing sockets automatically by handlers or robots
• In terms of the placement in production process:
  • Off-line Device Programmers – programming devices independently of production process, before they are delivered to production line
  • In-line Device Programmers – programming devices on production line in assembly cycle

Above qualification criteria are not separable and concrete programmer cannot be clearly defined. Areas of applications cover partly each other. To make the right choice, decision should be proceed with qualitative and quantitative analysis of planed programming devices process – What devices? How much? In how long period? we want to program.

WG Electronics is supporting customers on base of over 25 years of our own experience in developing, production and distribution of device programmers and on base of experience of our partners – lead manufacturers of programing equipment.
