Getting new silicon designs up and running quickly on ATE testers is a key Time to Market concern. The ability to get prototyping and evaluation boards up and running on the tester to start design verification and test development is beneficial to meet tight release schedules. The UltraFLEXplus DIB interface is ideal for rapid prototyping of RF and mm-wave designs. The UltraFLEXplus has a suite of high density RF and MM wave instruments with fully compliant waveform generation and analysis tool to support existing and burgeoning communication standard like 5G/Wifi7 and UWB.

The UltraFLEXplus RF digital and DC instruments are code compatible with the UltraFLEX, so if a test engineer has a “tool box” for go to code for the UltraFLEX, it can be used on the UltraFLEXplus. This paper will go over the UltraFLEXplus DIB interface and rapid proto typing techniques used with the following instruments: UW8G, UW24G, UltraPin2200 (PA), UltraPac300, UltraVI264, UltraVS256.
