Pin Scale Digital Cards

Consumer demand for more capability and connectivity in a single product is driving the need for more functionality, faster processing and higher speed interfaces in next-generation System-on-a-Chip (SOC) and System-in-Package (SIP) devices. To test these devices, a test system must have the capability to address a range of performance challenges: structural test requirements, rising processing speeds for logic cores, different interfaces and more. And this must all be done at a lower costof-test than last year because of ongoing price erosion. An uncertain future demands the ability to upgrade quickly to meet the next performance challenge while continuing to reduce cost-of-test.

Features & Benefits


Feature Benefit
Per pin scalability from 200 Mbps to 3.6 Gbps   The test system can be configured to match device requirements, pin-by-pin, for lowest cost.   Permits testing a wide range of interfaces including DDR, G-DDR, PCI Express, S-ATA, HyperTransport and Front Side Bus.
     
256 waveforms   In order to satisfy complex timing needs, 256 waveforms are required. Testing in higher x-modes means that more logical vector memory is available.
     
Unified memory approach   The entire amount of purchased memory is available for both test vectors and sequencer instructions for maximum flexibility. 
     
Test Processor-Per-Pin architecture   Localizing all test processing instead of using centralized resources results in minimal measurement overhead and higher throughput.
