BeeHive204AP-AU: version of BeeHive204AP with ZIF socket actuation system
19.Jan.2012
- To be able implement BeeHive204AP device programmer into automated programmer/handler without ZIF socket opener, it is necessary to have also version of with ZIF socket actuation system included. The BeeHive204AP-AU is that programmer. The usage of BeeHive204AP-AU have also some additional advantages. The ZIF sockets on the programming modules are opened only once for each chip programming cycle, therefore double mechanical lifetime of ZIF socket is reached. Such configuration also have higher throughput (UPH) of programmer. Of course usage of programmer with ZIF socket opener is not limited to automated programming. BeeHive204AP-AU can be also used for manual programming, for more convenient operation in cases, when high-pin-count chips require to use high-opening-force ZIF socket.
Device Part Number Description now available online
27.Oct.2011
- We are happy to inform you that Device Part Number Description for most of the devices supported by Elnec programmers is now available online in Elnec Device Search tool and also in the Device Lists of particular Elnec programmers. This valuable information was until now available in the software for Elnec programmers only (under menu Device --> Select Device.. --> Device info). As a result, now it is not necessary for you to run Elnec software to access this information. We hope you will enjoy this update.
Industrial versions of Elnec programmers for 3rd party automated machines
06.May.2011
- Let us inform you that Elnec programmers BeeHive204AP and BeeProg2AP (industrial versions of BeeHive204 and BeeProg2 programmers) which were developed for implementation into 3rd party automated programmers and automatic test equipments (ATE) are now available on market. The programmers have several enhancements which will be appreciated by electronics manufacturers and programming centers. In particular, dimensions of the programmers were reduced, cases are more mechanically stable and also programming modules have now different construction to reach greater mechanical stability. For easy and convenient connection of the programmers to 3rd party automated machines simple Elnec remote control application was even enhanced.

BeeProg2: faster twin brother of BeeProg+ programmer
05.Nov.2009
- The new BeeProg2 is speed-up improvement of BeeProg+ programmer. Programming speed improvement was focused to large memories (NAND Flash, parallel NOR Flash, serial NOR Flash). BeeProg2 is faster by 20-70% than BeeProg+ in such cases.
BeeHive204: faster twin brother of BeeHive4+ programmer
05.Nov.2009
- The new BeeHive204 is speed-up improvement of BeeHive4+ programmer (faster by 20-70%) due to usage of BeeProg2 programming core inside.
BeeHive208S: faster twin brother of BeeHive8S programmer
05.Nov.2009
- The new BeeHive208S is speed-up improvement of BeeHive8S programmer (faster by 20-70%) due to usage of BeeProg2 programming core inside. BeeHive8S programmer was discontinued.
New fast BeeProg2 based programmers
30.Oct.2009
- The new BeeProg2 is speed-up improvement of BeeProg+ programmer. Programming speed improvement was focused to large memories (NAND Flash, parallel NOR Flash, serial NOR Flash). BeeProg2 is faster by 20-70% than BeeProg+ in such cases. BeeHive204 is BeeHive4+ equivalent and BeeHive208S is BeeHive8S equivalent - both of them are of course based on the BeeProg2 programming core.
