LGLiteATE — Real Time Digital ATE Trainer

What is LGLiteATE Trainer?

LGLiteATE, which is designed, as a PC hosted instrument is an ideal tool for learn-


ing fundamentals of Semiconductor device testing and test program development.
The process to use an Industry standard ATE system is complicated, especially for
fresh engineering graduates. With LGLite ATE training, Test Engineers learn to de-
velop test programs for automated test equipment (ATE) to validate, characterize,
and production-test semiconductor devices. The semiconductor industry has grown
to be one of the largest manufacturing sectors in USA and there is an unprece-
dented demand for highly educated and trained engineers in India and abroad.

What is the job of a Test Engineer?

A Test Engineer is the one, who tests a semiconductor device, to check


whether it performs as designed. They apply various inputs (voltages, data,
signals of various frequencies, etc.) and measure the outputs using appropri-
ate instrumentation. A Test Engineer then certify that the device is either per-
forming as it should or detail any anomalies or shortfalls in performance.

IC designers and test engineers collaborate on a test plan early in the chip
design process to ensure all possible test contingencies are considered. It
has been estimated that about six months of training is typically required to
bring a fresh engineer up to speed using semiconductor ATE.

What are the challenges for training Test Engineers?

Semiconductor "system on a chip" IC has enabled massive IP integration on


an unprecedented level. This massive level of integration has created new
challenges for training test engineers on SOC devices using automated test
equipment. LGLiteATE features 50Mhz data speeds, 32 channels of pin den-
sities, all at lower costs and can also test in real time I/O protocols such as
JTAG, PCI, SPI, I2C or I2S.
Tessolve and ADM engineers are working closely to provide hands-on experi-
ence using LGLite-ATE as a semiconductor ATE trainer, develop the required
training hardware (interface electronics and load board), test scripts, and
laboratory material.

What is LGLiteATE Test Management Software?

LGLiteATE software is a powerful framework comprising of an integrated


debug environment (IDE), a Real Time Test Driver, a Test Vector Loader
and sequencer, and a Real Time Response analyzer. Test engineers can
now rapidly create and deploy test programs using standard ASCII Text
based production languages.

What is LGLiteATE Load Board?

Load-board design is a critical part of any project that uses ATE to test integrated circuits. Load boards provide the
interface between the LGLiteATE and the device under test (DUT). A properly designed load board allows full test
and measurement of the DUT without distorting the DUT's performance. A test engineer creates the design specifica-
tion that a PCB vendor can use to lay out and manufacture a load board.
