| NORTH READING, Mass.--Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER), the industry’s leading manufacturer of in-circuit PCB test systems and maker of automated x-ray inspection equipment, today announced new equipment demonstrations at NEPCON China in Shanghai starting April 24, 2007 at stand #4F18. Equipment demonstrations include Teradyne’s new UltraPin II 121 analog and digital pin tester cards for TestStation™, new Debug Pro software that improves time-to-market through more efficient development, and the XStation MX 3D X-Ray inspection system based on ClearVue™ technology.
UltraPin II 121 Analog and Digital Pin Cards
Teradyne’s new non-multiplexed analog and digital UltraPin II 121 pin cards are designed to extend TestStation’s scalability from cost effective MDA (analog only) applications to the highest-performing digital in-circuit test (ICT) available. Their unique functionality enables unrestricted pin assignments for both analog and digital test applications and gives users greater flexibility when programming driver/sensor logic levels, sense thresholds, slew rates and backdrive limits. The UltraPin II 121 pin boards lower the entry price point of pure-pin test configurations with ultra-low voltage and SafeTest™ capabilities by more than 30%.
Debug Pro Test Programming and Debug Software
TestStation users will benefit from Debug Pro, featuring a more intuitive graphical user interface and providing users with more comprehensive tools, simplified commands and operational displays for faster, easier debugging and qualifying in-circuit test programs. XStation MX Automated X-Ray Inspection System Using ClearVue technology, a patented off-center Tomosynthesis 3D image capture technique, XStation MX delivers the industry’s highest resolution images to more reliably detect and diagnose PCB defects. XStation MX uses a stationary X-Ray source and detector and, unlike conventional 3D X-Ray inspection systems, does not require complex or rotating mechanical parts. Its new capabilities can significantly lower false call rates, reduce programming times, increase reliability, and improve repeatability.
