Whether small or large series – we are experts in component programming.
Getting semiconductor devices ready for production involves several steps, from purchase to solder preparation on PCBs. This process mostly includes inspecting, programming, and tape and reel, which can be time-consuming and operationally challenging. In today’s fast-paced markets, these steps can slow down the supply chain and cause delivery issues.
Deciding whether to manage these services in-house or outsource them has significant operational implications.
While in-house component programming may seem like a logical choice for companies looking to keep resources internally, it requires significant financial and personnel investment. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, but beyond the initial investment in equipment and secure facilities, ongoing expenses for maintenance, calibration, and upgrades are necessary to keep everything up to date and ensure compatibility with the latest industry standards and device variants.
Establishing an in-house service also demands recruiting and training specialized personnel who must stay current with advancements in device programming. Additionally, managing an extensive inventory of adapters and programming algorithms can be daunting and never-ending. Companies must ensure their systems support a wide range of component types, involving regular software and hardware updates. Developing new programming solutions for emerging technologies can strain resources and divert focus from core business activities.
Scalability is another critical concern. Companies must balance their current programming needs with future growth, requiring careful planning to avoid inefficiencies and increased costs from over- or under-investing in capacity.
Outsourcing device programming services to specialized providers like Semitron offers a compelling alternative.
Outsourcing component programming reduces investment and maintenance costs. Combining programming with tape-and-reel services or component testing further minimizes setup and operational expenses.
Our programming specialists can efficiently handle large volumes of devices, relieving your internal resources so they can focus on other critical aspects of your project.
Programming services providers have the latest equipment and well-trained staff, leading to fewer errors and higher quality programming compared to potential in-house operations.
We support a wide range of semiconductor types from various manufacturers, eliminating the need for extensive training when programming new components.
We adapt easily to changing requirements. Whether you need a small batch or high-volume production, we have the right solution for you.
We stay up to date with the latest semiconductor technology to ensure that your components are always programmed using the most advanced methods and tools.
At Semitron, we provide top-tier component programming and provisioning services, continuously optimized through our investments in state-of-the-art equipment from industry leaders. With three dedicated programming areas, we can meet most customer requirements directly. Our systems support more than 130,000 adapters and programming algorithms for different component types. If a new development is required, our leading system suppliers can usually implement it quickly. Our test house has an annual capacity of 20 million programmed components. Supported component types include:
Whether it’s manual fine-tuning or highly automated processes, we ensure that every component is perfectly programmed for optimal performance and reliability in your applications. We offer sequential serial number programming for seamless traceability and inventory control, as well as provisioning devices with unique MAC addresses.
Pre-Delivery Moisture Control: Components are automatically dried according to their moisture sensitivity level (MSL) using industry-standard procedures before shipping. This prevents moisture-related damage and ensures that components function optimally and reliably upon arrival.
Choose from various packaging options like tubes, trays, or tape & reel to optimize handling and integration within your production environment and logistics needs.
Our state-of-the-art programming systems integrate highly scalable programming equipment with automatic tray handling or tape-in, laser labelling, 3D leadscan technology and tray or tape-and-reel output. This enables cost-efficient processes with proven quality.
