NORTH READING, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Teradyne,
Inc. (NYSE: TER) announces the release of three enhancements to the
UltraFLEX platform to meet the emerging needs of the latest generation
application and baseband processors for mobile devices. New versions of
UltraFLEX digital and DC options provide greater pattern memory depth,
data rates and accuracy to improve the test quality and yield of ICs for
mobile applications.
The UltraPin1600+ implements both memory and speed improvements to
UltraFLEX’s high-density and high-performance digital test option.
Pattern memory depth has been doubled to up to 1G vector per pin, with a
total scan depth up to 6 Gb. In addition, digital data rates up to 2.2
Gbps are now supported, an increase of 40%. This allows low-cost,
at-speed characterization and production test of the fastest LP-DDR3
memory interfaces on mobile processor devices.
Teradyne also released higher-accuracy versions of its highest density
device power supply options, the UVS256+ and HEXVS+. Voltage accuracy
has been improved by 50% or greater, resulting in sub-millivolt
performance for critical core voltage trimming applications that
optimize battery life in mobile products. The UVS256+ and HEXVS+ also
offer high-output stability for production ATE, which becomes critical
as the digital content of system-on-a-chip devices increases.
The enhanced versions of the UltraPin1600, UVS256 and HEXVS are
available immediately and program and application hardware are
compatible with previous versions. The options are currently in
production use at multiple customer sites.
“Producers of mobile processor devices face the challenge of maintaining
the highest device yields with near-zero defect rates and performance
demanded by smartphone and tablet device manufacturers,” said Ken
Lanier, Marketing Manager for Computing and Broadband, Teradyne. “Tester
inaccuracies of just a few millivolts or tens of picoseconds force a
no-win choice between compromised device performance and higher costs
due to reduced yield. UltraFLEX digital and DC options offer unrivaled
performance that allows our customers to produce higher quality devices
at lower cost. The increased pattern memory depth and data rates of the
UltraPin1600 and improved power supply accuracies will also ensure that
capital investments in UltraFLEX will address devices requirements for
many years to come.”
