"Given the trends in size and complexity of today's SOC technology developments, it is crucial that design and test engineers have sophisticated EDA-to-test tool sets available for quick development of test programs," said Marc Levine, Vice President of Teradyne's Enabling Technologies Group. "Having these tools makes both design and test more productive, helping our customers increase profits by getting their products to market and generating revenue as soon as possible, while reducing overall cost of test."
"Offering a sophisticated EDA-to-test tool solves half the problem. Teradyne's TAG organization offers a unique opportunity to provide a new level of comprehensive local support for test generation", explains Bill Wood, Teradyne's TAG Marketing Manager. "Customers benefit by leveraging TAG's global network of applications expertise to more quickly and effectively develop test programs, speeding product development."
The WaveWizard productivity tool facilitates an efficient transition from EDA software into fully functioning ATE test programs, complete with patterns, timings, levels, and pin configurations. With WaveWizard, test and design engineers can emulate device timing architecture and design, removing the constraints of cycle-based methods typically found in other EDA-to-test conversion products. Teradyne benchmarked WaveWizard against several commercially available tools and selected it for its ease of use, graphical display, faster code development, debug, and characterization capability, and flexible, intelligent timing generation.
"The intuitive approach to device timing, combined with WaveWizard's ease of use, shortens our customers' test program development cycle and reduces errors," explains Meir Gellis, CEO of Test Insight. "Our customers describe WaveWizard as a big step in productivity."
Teradyne's TAG network of over 500 applications engineers is the test industry's largest engineering support team, with a successful history supporting diverse device technologies with the world's leading IDM, Fabless, and Subcontractor semiconductor companies. Local training facilities support TAG's customers throughout the high technology centers in Asia, Europe, and the US.
WaveWizard supports Teradyne's J973, Integra and Catalyst(TM) tester families, including the Catalyst Tiger, the first system to combine next generation LVDS and SerDes production test capability in a true SOC tester.
