Keep-Current service

Why is it important to use the latest version of control program for your programmer?

1. Semiconductor manufacturers are every moment introducing into the market new devices with new package types, manufactured by new technologies to support the need for flexibility, quality and speed in product design and manufacturing. Within a year we implement into the control program support of more than 7000 new devices.
2. A typical programmable device undergoes several changes during it's lifetime in an effort to maintain or improve device characteristics and process yields. This changes often has effect programming algorithms change (programming algorithm is set of instructions that tells the programmer how to program data into a particular type of device). Using the newest algorithm in programming process is key to obtaining quality result. In many cases, while the older algorithm will program the device, it may not provide the level of data retention that would be possible with an optimal algorithm. Failure to use the most current algorithm can decrease your programming yields (it increase count of bad programmed devices), often increase programming times, or even affect the long term reliability of the programmed device.

Our commitment is to implement of support for these new or modified parts before or as soon as possible after its distribution, so you can be sure you are using latest programming algorithms that were specifically created for this device.?

Keep-Current is a subscription service, with which your ELNEC programmer and documentation is up-to-date with the latest device support and control program's features.

ELNEC sends a information about latest version of programmer software and about all updates done by this SW version (Keep-Current package). A Keep-Current service is your hassle-free guarantee that you are doing the highest quality programming on ELNEC programmers, at minimal cost.

Keep-Current package is provided to you by e-mail,

According to yours needs, you may also choose two levels of Keep-Current service:

• QUICK. Keep-Current package is mailed to you immediately after each change of software appears (OnDemand software) and it migh happen daily. This service is paid.
• STANDARD. Keep-Current package is mailed to you roughly monthy, when the regular version of SW is issued. This service is also paid.

(*1) this service is free for Elnec distributors. If you do not receiving it automatically, just ask.

If you not need to receive the Keep-Current e-mails and you want to stay informed about new version of software, subscribe please to the Elnec RSS system.
