尽管你可以使用生产测试仪表进行集成电路设计验证测试,但是,这常常是一种不太令人满意的解决方案:首先,你必须找到一台能测试你的最新设计的测试仪.这本身可能就是一个问题,因为生产测试仪通常要比最新技术落后一到两代.其次,你还得去请求生产经理允许你使用测试仪.如果当时有许多元器件等待测试,你就会很不走运,只好另谋别法.最后,你必须将需要测试的元器件运到生产部门进行测试并分析结果.如果开发部门和生产部门靠得很近则不会有什么大问题;但要是两者之间相距遥远时(一个在美国,一个在新加坡),情况会很糟,长途旅行会打乱你原来的开发计划,而且还会增加差旅费.幸运的是,有些ATE制造商正在生产专门用于设计验证测试的测试仪(见附录).这些测试仪尽管看起来象生产测 Although you can use production test instrumentation for IC design verification tests, this is often a less than satisfactory solution: First, you have to find a tester that will test your latest design, which in itself may Is a problem because production testers usually fall behind one or two generations later than the latest technology.Secondly, you have to ask the production manager to allow you to use the tester.If there are many components waiting to be tested, you will be very unlucky, Finally, you have to ship the parts to be tested to the production department for testing and analysis of the results.If the development department and the production department are close, then there will be no big problem; but if between the two Far away (one in the United States and one in Singapore), things are going to be bad, long journeys disrupt your original development plan and increase travel costs. Fortunately, some ATE manufacturers are making products specifically designed for design validation Test Tester (see appendix). These testers look like production test though
