Wave Wizard enables test engineers to quickly create Teradyne ATE test programs from test patterns generated by EDA software design tools. The addition of STIL support enhances this capability by allowing STIL format patterns produced by advanced DFT tools to be read directly into the Wave Wizard tool, then incorporated into Teradyne tester programs. Interest in generating DFT tests in the STIL format is increasing due to STIL's flexibility, efficiency, and facilitation of failure diagnostics and core-based testing.
"Our support for STIL will help customers achieve faster time-to-volume by leveraging DFT methods and better integrating design and manufacturing test," said Bruce Webster, product marketing manager for Teradyne's design-to-manufacturing software tools. "We are looking at the whole picture and developing a tool set that addresses all the major areas of design-to-manufacturing. STIL is becoming an important element for improving test productivity and economics. Support for STIL is a piece of the complex puzzle we're focused on solving."
The new Wave Wizard capability is available immediately and supports Teradyne's Integra and Catalyst series test systems, including Integra FLEX, Tiger, Catalyst and the Integra J750. The STIL capability of Wave Wizard has been specifically designed for Teradyne's platforms to produce optimized scan test files.
About Wave Wizard
Wave Wizard is a sophisticated EDA-to-test tool providing an advanced graphical interface that greatly simplifies the process of using simulation test vectors - reformatting them as needed to drive the tester's leading-edge features without complicating the pattern conversion process. Wave Wizard's definition of tester cycles and options is straightforward and allows for better communication between the design environment and the tester for both functional and structural test patterns.
Wave Wizard is further enhanced through the support provided by Teradyne's TAG organization. Teradyne's TAG network is the test industry's largest engineering support team, with a successful history supporting diverse device technologies at the world's leading IDM, Fabless, and Subcontractor semiconductor companies. Local training facilities support customers throughout the high technology centers of Asia, Europe, and the US.
