Used ADVANTEST Q8221 #9277092 for sale

ADVANTEST Q8221 is an electronic test equipment used to evaluate high-speed performance of integrated circuits. This sophisticated instrument consists of a mainframe unit containing logic circuits, timing circuits, and an analog digital converter used to control and measure digital signals. It also contains a signal generator, a precision clock source, and a specialized input/output interface. Q8221 is a powerful tool for assessing the timing behavior of individual components of a circuit, facilitating detection of inter-component contention, crosstalk, timing skews, and setup/hold violations. Its precision frequency-tuned source of low-jitter clock signals can be used not only to generate digital timing waveforms, but also to sense signals propagated across a circuit, thus helping to identify the presence of low-frequency noise. The instrument's powerful logic circuit captures and evaluates signal patterns present at the time of an error condition such as a clock pulse, pattern mismatch, setup/hold violation, etc., to determine the root-cause of failure. Its low-level analog and digital inputs allow for the measurement of signal voltage levels to ± 0.2V range. ADVANTEST Q8221 software package comes with a built-in logic simulator that can be used to develop and test complex digital designs. It has a user-friendly graphical interface that allows users to quickly program, execute, and debug tests. Unique graphical tools permit users to switch test patterns between template and vector mode. This robust test and analysis system is highly reliable due to its comprehensive calibration and performance verification procedures. It utilizes standard IEEE1149 JTAG boundary scan technology to access internal wiring connections and test them for accuracy. Q8221 also supports remote access from PCs, allowing users to monitor and control the instrument over LAN or other remote connections. Overall, ADVANTEST Q8221 is a sophisticated test equipment necessary for obtaining reliable performance data of high-speed integrated circuits. It's wide range of capabilities and features make it an ideal tool for a variety of applications including signal integrity testing and debugging, design verification, device characterization, and ATE verification & validation.
