  1. Device Support Updatesand ImprovementsWhy Annual Support?

  2. “With smartphones accounting for an ever- increasing portion of the global cell phone business, the mobile handset market is demanding more and more memory, particularly flash. This is causing the cell phone business to eclipse all other application markets for flash usage. Indeed, the shift in flash demand is reflective of a widespread transition in technology markets to focus more on mobile platforms like smartphones.” Source: Ryan Chien Analyst, for Memory and Storage at HIS Growing Flash Densities – Demand Speed Source iSuppli 2Q12

  3. Flash / Wireless Applications Demand Speed Consumer/Wireless product functionality and feature sets are growing Longer programming times are the result of growing data content Longer programming times impact production output Competition is fierce, cost controller is critical Data I/O’s Annual Programmer Support (APS) Provides Speed-enhanced algorithms For growing production demands

  4. Programming Algorithms Change • 75 % of all Products Have Algorithm Changes • The Semiconductor Vendor Enhances a Device for One or More of the Following Reasons. Reduction in die size Increase device speed Improve data retention Addition of new features Reduce cost to manufacture Improve programming speed Improve programming yields Rewrite of spec to correct errors Change in the silicon fabrication process TODAY’s SILICON ENHANCEMENTS RESULT IN THE RELEASE OF A NEW ALGORITHM

  5. Maximize Productivitywith FlashCORE Algorithm Speed Enhancements Sample Algorithm Speed Enhancements • Serial Boost, NOR Boost, Super Boost, Flash Boost 83% Faster w/Serial-Boost 19% Faster w/ NOR-Boost 47% Faster w/SuperBoost 55% Faster w/FlashBoost

  6. Annual Programmer Support for Flash Consumer/Wireless - Maximizes Productivity Annual programmer support maximizes productivity while controlling cost • Device algorithm optimization for NOR Flash (NOR Boost) • Device algorithm optimization for NAND Flash (Super Boost) • Device algorithm optimization for Serial Flash (Serial Boost) • Request new device support for devices not already supported • Instant access to entire library of devices, including new algorithms • Programming times available online

  7. Radio, GPS, CD Engine Controls Window Lift LED Lighting Air Flow Seat Position Wiper Motor Ignition Systems Battery Mgmt Parking Assist Stability Monitoring Steering Control Cruise Control Tire Pressure Parking Brakes Door Locks And Keyless Entry Airbag ABS Mirror Transmission Source: Giorgio Scuro General Manager, Automotive Business Unit, at Micron Technology “Qualityis an important factor for the rapidly innovative in-vehicle infotainment electronics market, and memory is the backbone of this segment where semiconductor products must meet specific automotive-grade certifications.”

  8. Automotive Electronicsare Mission Critical Automotive electronics have strict quality & life expectancy requirements The engine, safety and mission-critical systems have the most stringent specification Infotainment systems and connectivity systems cannot afford to skimp on quality The automotive environment is harsh (Temperature variations are extreme) Automotive electronics are Mission-Critical, reliability is a matter of life and death Brakes must engage, Airbags must deploy, Engine controllers must not falter Data I/O’s Annual Programmer Support (APS) Delivers the Highest Quality Programming Algorithms For Mission Critical Applications - When Failure is Not an Option

  9. Maximize your Product Life with FlashCORE Texas Instruments TMS470MSF Flash Programming (Cell Margin) Validation Report Figure 1 - Texas Instruments validation of Cell Margin on Data I/O’s FlashCORE • All cells passed with full cell margin charge • Fully charged cells can last up to 20 years • Semiconductor manufacturers typically warranty up to 10 years FlashCORE • All Data I/O algorithms are written to manufacturer’s specifications • High-insertion count (HIC) sockets deliver programming yields ≥ 99.5% • FPGA-based FlashCORE is optimized for quick algorithm development • Annual Programmer Support (APS) – Assures access to the latest algorithms Measured Success with Cell Margin Analysis Figure 1 – Device 1 Programmed by DATA I/O PROGRAMMER

  10. Annual Programmer Support (APS)is Critical for Automotive Electronics Quality Assurance – With Annual Programmer Support • Access to the latest versions of your licensed software, firmware and algorithms • Instant access to entire library of devices, including new algorithms • Request new features or optimizations in future releases of software, firmware or algorithms • Request new device support for devices not already supported • Factory QC testing of algorithms prior to release

  11. Annual Programmer Support (APS) 3 Options for APS Contracts • Full APS One year coverage both hardware and software 2. Software only APS One year subscription to all new software releases Full library of algorithm supports Plus the ability to request new device support and software features 3. Get current update One time update of your software and device library to current level
