SMH Technologies announces today the development of a high-performance, standalone in-system gang programming system (FlashRunner Quattro). FlashRunner Quattro is based on the FlashRunner patented technology and is designed for programming multi-PCB panel assemblies. FlashRunner Quattro offers:

· Four fully parallel in-system programming channels;

· Extremely fast programming (FlashRunner is one of the fastest in-system programming system on the market);

· Channel multiplexing: each of the four main channels can be multiplexed to 2 or 4 ISP channels (for a total of 8 and 16 ISP channels, respectively);

· Easy integration with all ATE systems;

· Galvanic isolation (on the 8 ISP channels configuration);

· Controllable by a host PC or ATE through RS-232, Ethernet or parallel control lines;

· Compact and robust design for production environments.

FlashRunner Quattro will be available in three different models, to best suit different gang programming needs:

· 4 ISP channels system (4 true parallel channels), no ISP channel multiplexing;

· 8 ISP channels system (4 parallel channels, each multiplexable to 2 channels, with galvanic isolation);

· 16 ISP channels system (4 parallel channels, each multiplexable to 4 channels).

In all of the above configurarions, each of the ISP channels is composed of:

· Six digital, bidirectional lines;

· Two analog/digital lines (analog out, digital in/out);

· Two power lines;

· One ground line (common for all channels).

FlashRunner Quattro will be available in Q3 2009.
