The leader in the chip programming industry -ACROVIEW Technology has recently released the latest programming software update and the list of newly supported chip models. Among them, the Adesto FLASH flash memory chip AT45DB041E has been supported by Oncor's general programming platform AP8000.

The AT45DB041E-S*N is a minimum 1.65V serial interface sequential access flash memory ideal for a variety of digital voice, image, program code and data storage applications. The AT45DB041E-S*N also supports the RapidS serial interface for applications requiring very high speed operation. Organize 4,194,304 bits of memory into 2,048 pages of 256 bytes or 264 bytes each. In addition to main memory, the AT45DB041E-S*N also contains two SRAM buffers, each of 256/264 bytes. The buffer allows data to be received while reprogramming pages in main memory.

Adesto Technology Dual/Quad SPI memories feature industry standard features and pins that work with new and existing designs. Adesto offers a product line with advanced features such as ultra deep power down, high reliability, high temperature, faster page erase and comprehensive security features. Features low power fast page removal for super power battery monitoring security. Adesto technology dual/quad SPI memory features industry standard features and pins that work with new and existing designs.

In 2020, according to Dialog Semiconductor, Dialog Semiconductor, a supplier of highly integrated power management, charging, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low energy technologies, and Adesto Technologies Corporation (Adesto), announced that the two parties have signed a definitive agreement, Dialog will acquire all outstanding shares of Adesto.

Dialog said the acquisition of Adesto will accelerate Dialog's expansion into the growing IIoT market, enabling smart buildings and industrial automation (Industry 4.0), and seamlessly driving cloud connectivity.

Together, Dialog and Adesto will also bring complementary product portfolios to cross-sell a broad customer base serving growing application segments in industrial markets.

It is understood that Adesto is a leading supplier of innovative custom integrated circuits (ICs) and embedded systems for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market. It is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and has about 270 employees. Its mature intelligent building automation industry The solution product portfolio is a very good complement to Dialog's manufacturing automation product portfolio. Adesto's solutions are sold in the industrial, consumer, medical and communications markets.

Dr. Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor, said: "This acquisition will sustainably enhance our position in the Industrial IoT market. Adesto's strong capabilities in connectivity solutions and highly optimized products for building and industrial automation complement each other perfectly. and expands the Industrial IoT portfolio we acquired with the recent acquisition of Creative Chips. Adesto's deep customer relationships, comprehensive systems technical expertise and know-how will bring greater value to Dialog's customers."

Narbeh Derhacobian, CEO of Adesto, said: "By combining the industry's best technologies from Dialog and Adesto, we will create unique IIoT solutions for today's increasingly interconnected world. We are very excited to join Dialog, which will give our joint The customer base brings more value.”

Dialog said the acquisition is expected to be accretive to Dialog's earnings per share (EPS) in the first calendar year. And in the first calendar year following the acquisition, annual cost synergies of approximately $20 million are expected to be realized in the combined company.

The AP8000 Universal Programmer independently developed by ACROVIEW Technology includes three parts: the host, the bottom plate, and the adapter seat.

The host supports USB and NET connections, allowing multiple programmers to be networked to achieve the purpose of simultaneously controlling multiple programmers and burning at the same time. The built-in chip safety protection circuit ensures that even if the chip is reversed or short-circuited due to other reasons, it can be detected immediately and power off to ensure the safety of the chip and the programmer. Embedded high-speed FPGA greatly accelerates data transmission and processing. There is an SD card slot on the back of the host. Put the project file created by the PC software in the root directory of the SD card and insert it into the card slot. Through the buttons on the programmer, the project file can be selected, loaded, and burned, etc. Command, in order to achieve the purpose of being able to operate without the PC, which greatly reduces the cost of PC hardware configuration, and is convenient and quick to match the working environment.

AP8000 makes the host more expandable by adding an adapter board to the base plate. At present, it has supported devices produced by all mainstream semiconductor manufacturers, including TI, ST, MicroChip, Atmel, Hynix, Macronix, Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, etc. The supported device types are NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, EMMC, etc., and file formats including Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, POF, etc. are supported.

About Adesto: Adesto, founded in 2007, specializes in developing innovative, low-power memory solutions called Conductive Bridge Memory (CBRAM). This special technology is different from general memory and can be customized for a variety of applications. Over the past 3 years, Adesto has licensed the built-in memory technology to a number of large system-on-chip (SoC) semiconductor companies, enabling it to More unrestricted planning for the future. Adesto sees this achievement as the number one memory choice for CBRAM in various applications, such as low-power mobile devices and high-performance servers.

Dialog Semiconductor, a provider of highly integrated power management, charging, AC/DC power conversion, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low energy technology, and Adesto Technologies Corporation (Adesto) announced in April 2020 that the two parties have signed a definitive agreement, and Dialog will acquire All outstanding shares of Adesto. Then in 2021, Renesas Electronics announced the acquisition of Dialog. Adesto is incorporated into the Renesas brand lineup.
