TOKYO — (Marketwire) — 07/05/12 — Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) (NYSE: ATE) today announced the new T2000 LJC16 16-channel, low-jitter-clock module. The LJC16 module, which combines different digital clock and analog clock/sine-wave requirements in a single high-multi-site system, will be featured in Advantest-s booth (#6247 in North Hall) at the SEMICON West trade show, July 10-12 in San Francisco.
With the faster input/output (I/O) speeds of today-s digital and analog ICs, the clock requirements for testing these devices have become more stringent. To achieve the highest manufacturing yields, testing advanced semiconductors requires the ability to:
source low jitter below 500 femto-seconds,
deliver gigahertz clocking speeds,
provide programmable duty cycles and
offer the highest performance sine wave inputs to analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
By using Advantest-s new LJC16 module, customers can perform all necessary tests on one tool without needing multiple modules. This saves on capital expenses, reduces cycle times and enables greater test coverage with a single module.
“With this new three-in-one module, our T2000 platform becomes the most economical and capable system in the industry for testing high-speed digital and mixed-signal devices while offering cutting-edge jitter performance,” said Jay Sakamoto, senior vice president of Advantest-s Strategic Business Unit (SBU). “This solution is much more cost effective and versatile than other offerings on today-s market, such as high-end testers burdened with multiple modules or incomplete test solutions without high-speed digital pins and low-jitter sources.”
