The operator merely removes the finished chip and inserts a new chip. Operator training is therefore minimized. BeeHive208S supports all kinds and types of silicon technology found in today’s and tomorrows programmable devices without family specific modules. You can be sure that...

As a result, when used in production this programmer waits for an operator, and not the other way round. BeeHive208S provides the two banana jacks, one for ESD wrist strap connection for easy-to-implement ESD protection and the second one for connection to ground.

Don't unplug the target device from the ZIF socket during work with device (BUSY LED on). In-system serial programming by BeeHive208S Optimized advanced pindrivers deliver programming performance without overshoot or ground bounce for all device technologies. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to program the full range of today's advanced low- voltage devices.
