NORTH READING, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Teradyne,
Inc. (NYSE:TER) announces the availability of the SOC TIU (Tester
Interface Unit), a high site count final test interface for the
UltraFLEX test system. Traditional solutions for testing 16 or more
complex devices require sophisticated, custom device interface boards
(DIBs) which are difficult and time consuming to design, manufacture and
release into volume production. These challenges add schedule and cost
risk to new applications processors, RF and power management device
programs.
The SOC TIU’s innovative design simplifies high site count solutions by
grouping tester resources and segmenting DIBs into multiple exact
copies, enabling the reduction of load board design and fabrication time
by more than 40% and debugging and correlation time by more than 60%, to
deliver faster time to volume production. Customer results have shown
that the SOC TIU also provides improved signal distribution and better
site-to-site correlation for testing devices at 16 sites or more.
“As devices become more complex and production ramp schedules become
more aggressive, it is critical for customers to be able to fully
utilize tester resources and accelerate the device bring up cycle,
including interface hardware development, device correlation and
support,” said Joseph Ha, Teradyne’s Test Cell product manager. “The SOC
TIU allows our customers to apply more than 8,000 UltraFLEX digital and
analog resources to their most challenging devices under test. When
combined with typical parallel test efficiencies of greater than 99%,
customers are able to meet the demanding cost and schedule requirements
of the mobile device market.”
