Introduction
BeeHive8S is extremely fast universal 8x 48-pindrive Stand-Alone concurrent
multiprogramming system designed for high volume production programming with
minimal operator effort. The chips are programmed at near theoretical maximum
programming speed.

BeeHive8S consists of eight independent isolated universal programming modules,
based on the BeeProg+ programmer hardware. Therefore BeeHive8S sockets can run
asynchronously (concurrent programming mode). Each programming module starts
programming at the moment the chip is detected to be inserted in the socket properly -
independently of the status of other programming modules. This results in seven
programming modules working while you replace the programmed chip in the eighth.
Graphical control unit with touch screen provides basic control and easy monitoring of
the programming flow.
Modular construction of hardware - the programming modules work independently -
allows for continuing operation when a part of the circuit becomes inoperable. It also
makes service quick and easy.
Hands-free operation: asynchronous and concurrent operation allows a chip to begin
programming immediately upon insertion of a chip. The operator merely removes the
finished chip and inserts a new chip. Operator training is therefore minimized.
BeeHive8S 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
new device support requires the software to be updated and (if necessary) simple
4

package converter (programming adapter), therefore the ownership costs are
minimized.
Using built-in in-circuit serial programming (ISP) connector, the programmer is able to
program ISP capable chips in circuit.
BeeHive8S provides very competitive price coupled with excellent hardware design for
reliable programming. It has probably best "value for money" programmer in this class.
BeeHive8S provides very fast programming due to high-speed FPGA driven hardware
and execution of time-critical routines inside of the programmer. At least programming
speed is faster than competitors in this category, for many chips it is much faster than
most competitors. As a result, when used in production this programmer waits for an
operator, and not the other way round.
BeeHive8S 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.
FPGA based totally reconfigurable 48 powerful TTL pindrivers provide
H/L/pull_up/pull_down and read capability for each pin. Advanced pindrivers incorporate
high-quality high-speed circuitry to deliver signals without overshoot or ground bounce
for all supported devices. Pin drivers operate down to 1.8V so you'll be ready to
program the full range of today's advanced low-voltage devices.
BeeHive8S performs on each programming module device insertion test (wrong or
backward position) and contact check (poor contact pin-to-socket) before it programs
each device. These capabilities, supported by overcurrent protection and signature-
byte check help prevent chip damage due to operator error.
BeeHive8S has the selftest capability, which allows the diagnostic part of software to
thoroughly check the health of the each programming module.
BeeHive8S has a built-in protection circuit for eliminating the damage of programmer
and/or programmed device due to environment or operator failure. All ZIF socket pins of
BeeHive8S programmer are protected against ESD up to 15kV.
BeeHive8S performs programming verification at the marginal level of supply voltage,
which, obviously, improves programming yield, and guarantees long data retention.
Various socket converters are available to handle devices in PLCC, SOIC, PSOP,
SSOP, TSOP, TSSOP, TQFP, QFN (MLF), SDIP, BGA and other packages.
It is important to remember that in most cases new devices require only a software
update because the BeeHive8S is based on the truly universal (BeeProg+)
programmer. With our prompt service you can have new device added to the list of
supported devices within hours! See AlgOR (Algorithm On Request) service for details.
Advanced design of the BeeHive8S Stand-Alone multiprogramming system, including
protective circuits, original brand components, and careful manufacturing and long
burning-in periods allows us to provide a three-year warranty on parts and labor for the
programmer (limited 25 000-cycle warranty on ZIF sockets). Although we take as much
care as possible to integrate high quality components for the built-in computer, we can't
5

ELNEC s.r.o.
provide the same level warranty as we get from the suppliers of computer parts.
Therefore it is a limited warranty of one year for all computer parts such as
motherboard, CPU, HD, etc.
This warranty terms are valid for customers, who purchase a programmer directly from
Elnec company. The warranty conditions of Elnec sellers may differ depending on the
target country law system or Elnec seller’s warranty policy.
Free additional services:

Free software updates are available from our
Internet address www.elnec.com.
•Online technical support is available within promised 24 hours time limit or you may
call us during business hours from Monday through Friday 8:30 to 17:30 (CET).
•Keep-Current is a service by which ELNEC ships to you the latest version of the

Warnings:
•Use only ISP cable from delivery package. When you use other ISP cable (other

•BeeHive8S can supply power to the programmed device (pin 1 of ISP connector)
and the target system (pin 19 and 20 of ISP connector) with some limitations (see
Technical specification / ISP connector).
•BeeHive8S applies programming voltage to target device and checks its value
(target system can modify programming voltage). If the programming voltage is
different from expected, no action with target device will be executed.

BeeHive8S can operate in two modes:
Engineering mode for creating a project
Production mode for mass production
Engineering mode
Warning:
This mode is available only when external display, keyboard and mouse are connected
to BeeHive8S.
To switch to Engineering mode use File / Switch to Engineering mode.
This part of the software is focused on the quick and easy preparation of the project file
for use in the production mode of the control software.
Each programming module is driven by an easy-to-use control program with pull-down
menu, hot keys and on-line help. Selecting of the device is performed by its class, by
manufacturer or simply by typing a fragment of vendor name and/or part number. It is
the same time proven software, as is used for all other Elnec single-site programmers.
Engineers can use all properties of this software and can make a project for mass
production.
Standard device-related commands (read, blank check, program, verify, erase) are
boosted by some test functions (insertion test, connection check, signature-byte check),
and some special functions (autoincrement, production mode - start immediately after
insertion of chip into socket).
All known data formats are supported. Automatic file format detection and conversion
are done during loading of file. It is possible to use Jam files (JEDEC standard JESD-
71) and VME files
The rich-featured auto-increment function enables one to assign individual serial
numbers to each programmed device - or simply increments a serial number, or the
function enables one to read serial numbers or any programmed device identification

The software also provides a lot of information about programmed device. As an
example, the drawings of all available packages, explanation of chip labeling (the
meaning of prefixes and suffixes on the chips).
