Used TERADYNE Catalyst #293602020 for sale

TERADYNE Catalyst is a comprehensive final test equipment used to test the functionality and performance of integrated circuits. It offers production test coverage for a wide array of devices including digital, analog and mixed-signal circuits of all types. Catalyst is referred to as a high-volume production test system as it is specified to be capable of testing up to 200 million boards per month. It consists of five key components: a high-performance tester, unit controllers, a test cell controller, a test board/head, and a machine server. The high-performance tester sits at the core of the tool and consists of multiple, stand-alone instruments including digital, analog, and programming boards. Each instrument is responsible for collecting data and measurements on the device under test. This data is then distributed and analyzed by the asset controller. The model controller is responsible for performing real-time analysis on the test data by sending automated requests to the tester to collect additional data or take advanced measurements. The equipment controller also has the capability to set pass/fail limits for functional tests and predetermined alarms for any abnormality within the specified test limits. The test cell controller (TCC) is a software program that supervises the operation of the test cell. It provides an interface for test engineers to program and troubleshoot TERADYNE Catalyst. The test board/head is the physical connection between the device under test and the tester. It is comprised of a variety of digital and analog fixturing designed specifically for the device type being tested. The system server is the back-end unit that manages Catalyst. It is responsible for archiving test data, storing part numbers and test information, monitoring machine health, and providing general tool administration. In conclusion, TERADYNE Catalyst is designed to be an efficient and reliable final test asset with high-volume production capability. It can be used to test a variety of devices with consistent results. The collection and processing of test data is managed by a combination of hardware and software components, which enables the model to provide feedback in a timely manner.
