UltraFLEX+ IPQ8 is Teradyne’s new generation UltraFlexPlus-based image sensor ATE test platform. Derived from UltraFLEX+ Q12, UltraFLEX+ IPQ8 has a lens tube space for 150mmx150mm internal halogen illuminator unit for image sensor test and towerless prober docking for optimal signal paths. In terms of instruments, UltraSrial20G-DP, a new image capture instrument is designed for IPQ8, it can capture image sensor outputs based on the DisplayPort protocol up to 9.9Gbps.
Same as IP750, the existing Teradyne image sensor test platform, UltraFLEX+ IPQ8 also has IDP (Image data processing) subsystem which is the image data processing infrastructure that is built on top of the UltraFLEX+ DSP subsystem.
UltraFLEX+ IPQ8 IDP subsystem enables superior performance by improved backgrounding capability and more optimized integration of software and hardware, it is being developed to offer better technical capabilities then IP750.
This document introduces the difference of DSP concept between UltraFLEX+ IPQ8 and IP750, how to convert the IDP program from IP750 to UltraFLEX+ IPQ8 and the test time result comparison of them.
