Abstract

Automated test equipment capable of performing a high-speed test of semiconductor devices is presented. The automated test equipment comprises a system controller for controlling a test program, wherein the system controller is coupled to a bus. The tester system further comprises a plurality of modules also coupled to the bus, where each module is operable to test a plurality of DUTs. Each of the modules comprises a tester processor coupled to the bus and a plurality of configurable blocks communicatively coupled to the tester processor. Each of the configurable blocks is operable to communicate with an associated DUT and further operable to be programmed with a communication protocol for communicating test data to and from said associated device under test.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of electronics test systems, and more particularly to the field of electronics test equipment for testing devices under test (DUTs). Background technique [0002] Automatic test equipment (ATE) may be any test assembly that performs tests on semiconductor devices or electronic assemblies. ATE assemblies can be used to implement automated tests that quickly perform measurements and generate test results that can then be analyzed. An ATE assembly can be anything from a computer system coupled to a meter to a complex automated test assembly that may include a custom purpose-built computer control system and a number of components capable of automatically testing electronic components and / or semiconductors Different test instruments for wafers (for example, system-on-chip (SOC) testing or integrated circuit testing). ATE systems both reduce the amount of time spent testing a device to ensure that the ...
