HOUSTON, June 8 – After introducing the Enhanced 7^th Generation product line to the programming industry late last year, BP Microsystems has shipped the first units of its newest device programmers.

BP Microsystems began accepting orders for the device programmers with the release of BPWin 4.52 on May 24.

Featuring USB 2.0 communications interface and support for devices with densities up to 4 Gigabits, the products were developed to meet the technological requirements of the programming industry.

Earlier programmer models use a parallel port to communicate from the host PC to the programmer.  With a high-speed USB 2.0 standard bus, communication speeds are increased and greater reliability is provided.

On-board memory was increased to address higher density semiconductor devices.

The programmer models - 1710, 2710, 2710M, 3710MK2 and 4710 – have replaced the 7^th Generation product line – 1700, 2700,

2700M, 3700MK2 and 4700.

HCC 2010 is a competitively-priced high ohmic value resistor. High ohmic values are attained by a high volume thick film printing process, eliminating the cost associated with individually-produced devices of this type.

Offers 45 GigOhms of resistance at a tolerance of 10 % on an alumina substrate. The high ohmic value is achieved by a serpentine topology. The resistor measures .197” in length, .106” in width and .028” in height.

Ideal for applications requiring a high degree of terminations metals including platinum silver and platinum silver with a solder coating, or those requiring high precision, such as measurement test instrumentation, sensors and controls.

Spacing Synthesizer is a 2-D and 3-D routing checker for high voltage PCBs such as those carrying power supply circuits or boards designed for intrinsically safe applications.

Where voltages over 60V appear on a multilayer PCB, designers are challenged to ensure adequate separation of signal paths in the x, y and z dimensions of the board. This is particularly important where the board is to be used in environments that demand safe performance, for example on oil rigs and in mines, where insulation breakdown between layers can cause hazardous sparking. The traditional way of making the z-axis checks is manual, often taking up to six weeks to check a typical 4-layer board. This task has been reduced to a few minutes with a tool that works within the PCB design suite from Zuken.

Enables engineers to assign groups of signals, and the distance between signals of the same or a different group, from within the system schematic during the design process. The signal groups can then be visualized in different colors. A distance-matrix is automatically created that shows the design rules required.

By automating the checking process, human error is largely eliminated and board integrity with respect to conductor spacing is assured. In addition, variations in board fabrication process can be taken into account, the 3-D check being adjustable for varying board thicknesses and design rule exceptions.
