MTS2010i
Mixed Signal Test Systems

Printable Version

System Description:
The MTS-2010i are a cost effective production ATE designed for testing high-volume linear and mixed signal semiconductor devices (Op Amps, high-voltage drivers, DAC, ADC, etc.), both at the wafer sort and final test stages of the manufacturing process.
 
Architecture:
The MTS-2010i has a modular architecture that places all resources directly at the DUT board. Each resource contains a full system for measurement and sourcing. This permits real parallel testing of dual and quad devices by selecting the necessary cards. Any card may be placed on any of the 20 slots. One additional advantage of this architecture is that it makes it possible to use existing DUT boards from other test platforms by appropriately routing the connections on the DUT Board, making it possible to use existing hardware. The calibration methods used by the MTS2010i eliminate the errors introduced by the additional wiring and connections made when interfacing to existing Load Boards.
 
New Technology:
There are two principal technical innovations present on the MTS2010i: Zero Time Averaging™ (ZTA™), and Real Time Hardware Error Correction™ (HEC™). ZTA is a hardware implementation that greatly improves the time to make measurements. With this hardware, it is possible to obtain the same repeatability obtained by averaging 20 measurements but only take the time for a single measurement. HEC allows the tester to actually achieve the accuracy, when forcing or measuring a parameter, of the calibration standard used when the resource was calibrated.

The use of ZTA, HEC, as well as onboard controllers on each of the resources results in the MTS-2010 achieving very fast test times, while actually increasing the accuracy of the results.

The final result of all this is much lower test costs and higher test yeilds.
 
Handlers/Probers:
The MTS2010 can interface to any prober/handler that has either a parallel, IEE488/GPIB/HPIB, or RS232 Serial interface. The software has a very user friendly Graphical interface that permits easy configuration & driver creation In addition, the handler port allows connection of up to three handlers simultaneously for full Parallel Operation, allowing for a virtual no-index time testing.
 
System Software:
The system software is WINDOWS-NT/2000/XP* based. It is very powerful, and secure, while maintaining the user-friendly environment of the WINDOWS operating systems. The operator interface was created so that any person familiar with programs like WORD, EXCEL, Power Point, or other Windows software, would be able to operate the tester in a mater of a few minutes.

The Engineering interface uses Visual C++ from Microsoft. This development environment is very widely used and very easy to learn, while providing very powerful control capability over the tester.
 
System Resources:
There are two types of resources available: General Purpose System Resources, and Device Family Specific Resources. General Purpose System Resources are design to be used for testing a wide variety of devices from different family types. They contain a high degree of flexibility and capability. Device Specific Family Resources are optimized for a specific family of parts. They are fully integrated resources that contain all the sub-modules necessary to test a particular family of devices. They bring a high degree of cost effectiveness and efficiency to testing the family of devices they are targeted for.
