Teradyne - Semiconductor Test Division

Semiconductor Test is a lead-ing supplier of semiconductor test equipment for logic, RF, analog, power, mixed-signal, and memory technologies. We deliver test solutions to developers and manufacturers of a broad range of integrated circuits, packaged separately or integrated as System-On-a-Chip (SOC) or System-In-Package (SIP) devices. ICs tested by Teradyne are used in computing, communications, consumer, automotive, identification, and internet applications.

Flex Test Platform

 

IG-XL Software

Simplified program development for multisite test

Teradyne’s breakthrough IG-XL software transforms test program development. Its powerful yet easy-to-use graphical environment lets engineers rapidly develop fully functional test programs, cutting program development and debugging time. Designed to address multisite complexity, IG-XL can convert single site test programs to multisite automatically, speeding time to market and reducing cost of test. With IG-XL, test engineers focus on actual testing, not writing code for the tester.

  • Interactive and easy to use. Designed with familiar Microsoft Excel® and Visual Basic software, IG-XL leverages standard applications to cut ramp-up and development time.
  • Fosters rapid, modular program development. Test engineers quickly create portable, reusable tests through IG-XL’s seamless integration of built-in templates and code-level programming. The spreadsheet-based approach keeps test data separate from test methods, while Visual Basic for Test streamlines program debugging with real-time interaction.
  • From single to as many as 256 sites in an instant. IG-XL is designed for efficient development of multisite test programs—just create a single site test program, enter the number of sites, and deploy that program for multisite test. It’s that simple. This capability facilitates maximum throughput of the test system.
  • One software system, many devices. IG-XL software covers the entire family of FLEX Family test systems and instruments, so engineers can work with diverse devices-pure analog, pure digital and mixed signal-without having to learn different systems. With plug-and-play drivers, installing a new or upgraded instrument is as straightforward as installing a new printer for a PC.

 

Third-party software affiliates
IG-XL’s component-based environment allows integration of third-party software tools that provide a wide range of design-to-manufacturing solutions, including:

  • SEDana – A data analysis application that enables statistical analysis and reporting of tester data collected in STDF, ATDF and other data formats. A basic version – SEDana Lite – comes with each system and can be upgraded to the full version.  > More info at www.salland.com
  • Wave Wizard – A pattern conversion program that provides test engineers with an automatic tool for generating ATE programs from simulation data.
