Data I/O Doubles Programming Performance with TurboBoost for Lumen X Programmers
January 30, 2019 | Data I/O CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Data I/O Corporation, the leading global provider of advanced data and security programming solutions for flash, flash-memory based intelligent devices and microcontrollers, announces the release of TurboBoost for eMMC 5.0 and 5.1 devices on the Lumen X programming platform. Data I/O will demonstrate up to a 2x increase in programming performance using TurboBoost in booth #2015 at the IPC APEX Expo, scheduled to take place January 29th – January 31st at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.
“Programmable content for automotive electronics, driven primarily by the infotainment systems in connected and autonomous cars, is expected to exceed 1 Terabyte by 2025. Today, most OEMs pre-programming eMMC Flash are struggling to maintain production throughput as the file sizes continue to grow,” said Anthony Ambrose, president and CEO of Data I/O Corporation. “TurboBoost for LumenX enables customers to immediately improve their programming performance, maximizing their existing investment in Data I/O’s programming technology.”
LumenX is architected to support the latest device technologies for maximum performance today and in the future including ultra-fast programming performance for eMMC devices. The combination of TurboBoost for LumenX and the PSV programming systems with high socket capacity and high throughput allows manufacturers using one PSV system to program what previously required multiple systems to produce.
With over 240 PSV systems installed globally, existing customers can immediately improve their production output without investing in new capital equipment. The combination of LumenX programming technology in a PSV system delivers the maximum performance, flexibility and throughput for the lowest total cost.
