Automated Test Equipment - ATE

The ability to perform efficient and accurate production testing in high-volume manufacturing facilities is crucial; test systems must be capable of automatically testing and diagnosing faults in the shortest possible time. Automated test equipment (ATE) is designed to address these challenges.

ATE is used in many different industries, testing everything from individual components, such as RF semiconductors, to complete electronic systems. Analog-to-digital conversion is a common function in mixed-signal ATE and requires digitizers with a higher performance than the device under test (DUT). This performance margin ensures the correct characterization of the DUT and plays a pivotal part in the time efficiency of this process.

• Combination of high sample rates, vertical resolution and wide analog input bandwidth offers the best ATE flexibility including the reduction of system components such as mixers and amplifiers
• Open FPGA for custom real-time digital signal processing
• High data transfer rate is needed to support fast post-processing
• Various form factors simplify system integration and allows for retrofitting new digitizers into existing systems
