Verigy targets consumer, RF, and nanoelectronic devices

-- Test & Measurement World, 6/26/2007 5:58:00 AM

Verigy has introduced instrumentation suites that can be accommodated within a V93000 compact test head to address three key application areas: consumer mixed-signal, multi-port RF, and nanoelectronics. The company will highlight its new offerings at Semicon West.

The Consumer Mixed Signal system includes an MB AV8 multi-band audio-video card that addresses professional audio, base-band IQ, and video devices. The system also includes a Pin Scale 400 card, which provides 100- to 400-Mbps data rates per pin at 224 Mvectors per pin. Also included are DC Scale VI32 and DC Scale DPS32 cards to provide precision voltages and to support multiple power domains.

The V93000 Consumer Mixed Signal system performs single-site and multi-site wafer-sort and final test across a range of highly integrated consumer devices such as an optical display device (ODD), ePMIC (embedded power management IC), and embedded flash memory as well as devices used in DVDs, digital TV, and set-top boxes.

“Consumer demand for mobility and multipurpose devices that integrate audio, video, data and telephony services are sweeping through consumer electronics and shaping the broader semiconductor marketplace,” said Pascal Ronde, Verigy VP of sales, service, and support. “At the same time, prices for the SoCs that deliver this convergence are dropping 30 to 40% per year. As a direct consequence of both exploding unit sales and plummeting prices for such devices, manufacturers have no choice but to respond with more multi-site test and ever-lower cost-of-test. It is the growing need of our customers in this business that compelled Verigy to develop the Consumer Mixed Signal solution.”

Base price: $549,000.
