Advantest has unveiled its new, expanded configuration T5503 high-speed memory test system with parallel test capability of up to 256 DDR3 devices, with a maximum test speed of 3.2Gbps.
The company claims that DDR3’s increased performance combined with lower power requirements will enhance the capabilities of PCs, notebooks and servers as well as advanced consumer products such as game consoles and HDTV.
The company stated that accompanying the transition from DDR2-SDRAM to DDR3-SDRAM, is a requirement to meet the demand of device manufacturers for higher-speed and more accurate test capabilities and lowered costs for mass production of these new high-speed devices. The company’s new T5503 8448 Channel Test Head is designed to address these needs by offering lowered test costs for high-speed manufacturing. Coupled with Advantest’s M6242 handler, the T5503 provides a DDR3 test cell that reportedly delivers both performance and yield as well as lowest cost of volume production test.
