Acroview, a leader in chip programming, has officially announced the expansion of its compatible device coverage with the release of a new programmer software version. Its core product, the universal programming platform AP8000, has now achieved full adaptation with MPS’s single‑phase BLDC motor driver MP6616BGD.

The MP6616BGD is a single‑phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver that integrates MOSFETs and a Hall‑effect sensor. It operates from a 3.3V to 18V input supply voltage (VCC) and can drive up to 2A of continuous output current (IOUT).

The MP6616BGD supports both open‑loop and closed‑loop speed control; the control function is implemented via a pulse‑width modulation (PWM) signal on the PWM pin. The device features configurable soft commutation angle and Hall offset angle. The Hall offset angle can be flexibly optimized to achieve low‑speed and high‑speed performance across the full speed range.

The FG/RD pin can be used as a speed detector or rotor lock indicator. This pin is an open‑drain output and must be pulled up externally.

The MP6616BGD provides comprehensive protection features including input over‑voltage protection (OVP), under‑voltage lockout (UVLO) protection, rotor lock protection, over‑current protection (OCP), and over‑temperature shutdown protection.

The MP6616BGD is offered in a QFN‑10 (2x3mm) package.

The AP8000 universal programmer, independently developed by acroview, has become a benchmark professional programming solution in the industry. The system supports flexible one‑to‑one and one‑to‑eight configuration modes, and offers both online and offline operation. It features dedicated programming solutions for memory chips such as eMMC and UFS, and can fully cover bare‑chip offline programming and on‑board programming for the entire range of MPS devices. The AP8000 adopts an innovative modular design comprising three core modules – mainframe, baseboard, and adapter socket – giving it outstanding compatibility and expandability. As a universal programming platform, it not only adapts to various programmable chips on the market, but also delivers stable and high‑efficiency performance, serving as the core component of acroview’s automated batch programming system IPS5800S for high‑volume production programming.

The AP8000 mainframe offers flexible connectivity with both USB and NET interfaces, enabling convenient networking of multiple programmers. Through this networking capability, users can easily achieve synchronized control of multiple programmers for efficient parallel programming operations. In terms of safety, the mainframe is equipped with an intelligent safety protection circuit that monitors chip placement status and connection conditions in real time. Once abnormalities such as reverse insertion or short circuits are detected, it triggers an immediate power‑off protection mechanism to safeguard both the chip and the programmer. The mainframe incorporates a high‑speed FPGA chip, significantly improving data transmission and processing efficiency for smooth and efficient programming. For enhanced convenience, an SD card slot is provided on the rear panel. Users can store project files generated on a PC onto an SD card, insert it into the slot, and then use the physical buttons on the programmer to select, load, and execute programming operations, enabling standalone operation without a PC. This design not only reduces dependency on computer hardware but also simplifies workspace setup, greatly improving operational flexibility.

In terms of expandability and compatibility, the AP8000 adopts a modular baseboard and adapter board combination, effectively extending the mainframe’s functionality. Currently, the system supports products from all major semiconductor manufacturers, including SK hynix, Micron, SANDISK, ASR, Kingston, and many other well‑known brands. Its supported device types cover NAND, NOR, MCU, CPLD, FPGA, EMMC, and more, and it is fully compatible with industry‑standard file formats such as Intel Hex, Motorola S, Binary, and POF, providing users with a one‑stop, full‑scenario chip programming solution.
