Burning is accomplished by burning a recorder or a recording card. The English name of the burner is PROGRAMMER. Some people call it WRITER. Earlier, some people call it BURNER.

This kind of machine is used to burn [PROGRAM], a kind of IC called burnable IC (PROGRAMABLE IC), which can burn the CELL [cell] data inside these ICs, resulting in different functions. Most of the previous ICs are fixed-function IC [DEDICATED ID]. Therefore, if the designer designs a circuit board, he must use a variety of fixed-function IC, which requires a lot of preparation for a large number of producers. Since the advent of burnable IC, designers can burn it into IC with different functions as long as one IC is prepared. The reserver can purchase only one IC, which is convenient for material preparation. However, it is necessary to prepare a burner to burn it (generally), which means to use a burner to record data (also known as burning) to the disc.

Now there are CD and DVD recorders, the latter has a larger capacity than the former, like COPY. Putting COPY in your computer on other file carriers, like a 1.4 inch disk, can be said to be a burning disk.
