Company Background
For almost fifteen years, BP Microsystems has led the way in advanced device programming
and customer-focused support. We've introduced industry-leading technologies before any of our competitors that provide our customers with the most flexible, value-focused programmers available.

Today, we support virtually every device available and release new programming algorithms every six weeks via the Internet.

BP Microsystems provides comprehensive technical support and user training in more than 30 countries around the world. Our high level programming language means that the same algorithms run on BP engineering programmers as well as production programmers, ensuring a smooth and rapid transition from prototype to production.

BP-2500 Concurrent Architecture
Concurrent architecture allows the system to start programming each device as soon as it is inserted. With four to eight programming sites, the system has enough power to completely program the first device by the time the operator has inserted the last device, so there's no need to wait. To optimize flexibility, signal fidelity, throughput and reliability, each site is a fully independent universal programmer. The BP-2500 improves your profitability by increasing the efficiency of your operation.

Fifth Generation Technology
The BP-2500 is the world's fastest universal programmer. It incorporates BP's Fifth Generation Programming Technology that increases programming speeds by up to 400%, depending on the device. The BP-2500 is ideal for production environments where speed and flexibility are critical. This breakthrough product programs near the theoretical limits of the device while closely following the semiconductor manufacturers' algorithms. For example, the Sharp LH28F016SAT Flash device programs in 24.06s compared to 108.48s before.

Device Support
The BP-2500 is universal and supports all technologies including antifuse and low-voltage. It also has the ability to vector test the latest high pin-count FPGAs and the very lowest volt devices. The BP-2500's optimized software, memory, and communications result in greater throughput on every single device that we support.

Behind each programming socket is a powerful universal device programmer with independent CPU, memory, and pin drivers. The system is not subject to the restrictions of competing gang programmers that can lead to improperly programmed devices, especially on today's advanced CMOS devices. The system provides full support for devices up to 240 pins. This includes the ability to continuity test, erase, blank check, program, verify, and vector test. Since one pin driver per pin is required to perform a full continuity test and functionality test of logic devices, the BP-2500 comes with 240 pins standard to test high pin count devices.

Flexibility
The BP-2500 is the first programmer with the power and flexibility to meet all the needs of today's most demanding programming centers. Support for a myriad of different single-purpose programmers is no longer necessary. The BP-2500 can support all of your production needs. The benefits of streamlining your programming center are far reaching. Not only will you eliminate the cost of purchasing and maintaining single-purpose systems but you can also simplify operator training, reduce mistakes, free up valuable managerial time, and eliminate bottlenecks.

Fault Tolerance for Reliability
The BP-2500 incorporates a fault-tolerant design for enhanced reliability. In the event that one of the sites should fail, the system can operate on the remaining sites.

Cost Per Device
BP multi-site concurrent programmers have a proven record of improving programming center profitability by increasing output. The efficiency of the concurrent architecture combined with incredibly fast programming times means one operator with a BP-2500 can easily outpace several people running conventional programmers. This means you can improve quality, reduce time-to-market and your costs.

Software
Easy to use software is a hallmark of BP Microsystems. The BP-2500 is no exception. The user interface is informative, powerful, and most importantly, simple. Optional JobMaster software reduces set up times to seconds and significantly reduces the chance of a setup error. Design files and job statistics can be stored on a file server to meet your document control and SPC requirements.

Algorithm Updates
Algorithms are released eight times per year to ensure access to the newest programmables. Interim releases are available on our Web page at www.bpmicro.com. Algorithms are released simultaneously to engineering and production programmers ensuring a rapid transition from prototype to production.

Socket Modules
Socket Modules for the BP-2500 are designed to support the widest range of devices possible. For example, a single universal PLCC socket can support over 3,000 devices. And, these sockets modules are interchangeable across the full range of BP Microsystems universal programmers. Over 160 socket modules are available to support every conceivable package type, including SOIC, TSOP, TSSOP, QFP, TQFP, PQFP, SSOP, PGA, SIMM, PCMCIA, LGA, CSP, VSOP, PLCC, BGA, FBGA, µBGA and DIP.
