Teradyne partners with Teseda to provide scan diagnosis tool
Rick Nelson, Chief Editor -- Test & Measurement World, 10/15/2009 10:52:44 AM
Teradyne has announced the signing of an exclusive development agreement with Teseda to produce Scan Workbench, a portable scan debug and yield-enhancement tool. Based on industry-standard data protocols and the existing Teseda Workbench (TWB) and Diagnostic Manager (DM) products, Scan Workbench will allow test engineers to perform rapid silicon debug, design validation, failure analysis, and yield monitoring.
Scan Workbench provides a consistent debug and optimization environment based on the IEEE 1450.0-1999 Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) and the new STDF (Standard Test Data Format) AV4-2007 datalog standards. The software will initially be deployed on the Teradyne FLEX and J750 platforms which will provide Scan Workbench with access to an installed base of over 5000 testers. The new toolset will be shipping in the second half of 2010.
"Teradyne is committed to making the industry's leading productivity tools available to our customers by creating standards-based interfaces to the IG-XL software environment," noted Rod Stewart, GM of Teradyne's SOC business unit. "This expanded collaboration with Teseda provides capability that will allow Teradyne customers to improve time-to-market and device yields for devices that use increasingly smaller silicon geometries. We believe the best way to serve our customers is by supporting new tools that improve test efficiency from any vendor as they become available."
"We are pleased to be working with Teradyne to help define, develop and jointly market Teseda's new Scan Workbench toolset," said Armagan Akar, Teseda president and CEO. "The partnership allows us to work with the industry leader in ATE to offer our next-generation scan diagnostic tools to the largest potential market-the FLEX family and J750 installed base. In this ultra-competitive market, we concur with Teradyne's unique approach to support EDA- and ATE-agnostic tools in the marketplace."
