TOKYO, Japan – June 08, 2005 – Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857, NYSE: ATE), the global leader in semiconductor test systems, today announced availability of a new memory test system, the T5587. With a best-in-class maximum parallel test capacity of 512 devices in its two-station configuration, the T5587 offers high throughput on tests of MCP (Multi-Chip Package) memory devices, which are in increasing demand for cellular telephones and other electronic gadgets.
The growing availability of wireless broadband services has fueled the development of wireless handheld communications devices, including cellular telephones and PDAs, that woo consumers with an ever greater array of functions packed into ever smaller bodies. These trends form the background to the increasing demand for MCP memory devices. However, MCPs are purpose-designed, featuring application-optimal combinations of SDRAM and every type of flash memory. Their special characteristics, operation speeds, and pin counts vary widely, so that manufacturers hitherto have had to incorporate multiple testers into their operations.
Advantest’s new T5587 memory tester comes to the rescue, offering an all-in-one, high-throughput solution for DDR-SDRAM, NOR and NAND flash memory test needs. Its newly developed High Speed Bus technology and reinforced Bad Block Mask function help to cut per-device data writing times by up to 80% over previous models, reducing overall test times, while its maximum test speed of 200 MHz (400 Mbps in DDR mode) supports MCPs that incorporate newer, faster types of flash memory such as DDR-SDRAM and NOR. Moreover, in combination with Advantest’s newest dynamic test handler, the M6300, the T5587’s 512-device parallel test capacity will contribute to test cost reduction on mass production lines.
