GENERAL
- BeeHive4+ is extremely fast universal 4x
48-pindrive concurrent multiprogramming system
designed for high volume production programming with minimal
operator effort. The chips are programmed at near
theoretical maximum programming speed.
- BeeHive4+ consists of four independent isolated
universal programming modules, based on the BeeProg+
programmer hardware. Therefore the sockets can run
asynchronously (concurrent programming mode). Each
programming module starts programming at the moment the chip
is detected to be inserted in the socket properly -
independently on the status of other programming modules. It
result, three programming modules works while you replace
the programmed chip at the fourth.
- Modular construction of hardware - the programming
modules works independently - allows for continuing
operation when a part of the circuit becomes inoperable. It
also makes service quick and easy.

- Hands-free operation: asynchronous and concurrent
operation allows a chip to begin programming immediately
upon insertion of a chip. The operator merely removes the
finished chip and inserts a new chip. Operator training is
therefore minimized.
- Supports all kinds of types and silicon
technologies of today and tomorrow programmable
devices without family-specific module. You can be sure
the next devices support require the software update and (if
necessary) simple package convertor (programming adapter),
therefore the ownership cost are minimized.
- Using built-in in-circuit serial programming
(ISP) connector, the programmer is able to program
ISP capable chips in circuit.
- Provides very competitive price coupled with excellent
hardware design for reliable programming. Probably best
"value for money"programmer in this class.
- Very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA
driven hardware and execution of time-critical routines
inside of the programmer. At least fast than competitors in
this category, for many chips much faster than most
competitors. As a result, when used in production this
programmer waits for an operator, and not the other way
round.
- BeeHive4+ interfaces with the IBM PC
compatible,
portable or desktop personal computers through USB
(2.0) port.
- Banana jack for ESD wrist straps connection to
easy-to-implement the ESD protection control.

HARDWARE
(valid for each programming
module)
- FPGA based totally reconfigurable 48 powerful
TTL pindrivers provide H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read
capability for each pin of socket. Advanced pindrivers
incorporate high-quality high-speed circuitry to
deliver signals without overshoot or ground bounce for all
supported devices. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so
you'll be ready to program the full range of today's
advanced low-voltage devices.
- Each programming module performs device insertion
test (wrong or backward position) and contact
check (poor contact pin-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 allow to run diagnostic part of
software to thoroughly check the health of the each
programming module.
- Built-in protection circuits eliminate damage of
the programming module and/or programmed device due to
environment or operator failure. All ZIF socket pins inputs
and all pins of ISP conncetor of BeeHive4+ programmer are
protected against ESD up to 15kV.
- BeeHive4+ programmer performs programming
verification at the marginal level of supply
voltage, which, obviously, improves programming yield, and
guarantees long data retention.
- Various socket converters are available to handle
device in PLCC, SOIC, PSOP, SSOP, TSOP, TSSOP, TQFP, QFN
(MLF), SDIP, BGA and other packages.

SOFTWARE
(production mode
control)
- This part of the software is focused to the easy
monitoring of high-volume production operations.
- Operator-friendly control software combines many
powerful functions with ease of use. Graphic user interface
provide overview of all important activities result without
burden of operator with non-important details.

There is used a project file to control the
BeeHive4+ multiprogramming system. Project file contains
user data, chip programming setup information, chip
configuration data, auto programming command sequence, etc.
Therefore the operator error is minimized, because
the project file is normally created and proofed by
engineering and then given to the operator. The optional
protected mode can be set for project file to avoid a
unwanted changes of the project file.
Each chip may be programmed with
different data such as
serial number, configuration and calibration information.
