EV100 Instruments

The EV100 series of instruments package high density DC and digital test ATE modules in a convenient 1U module. The instruments follow the AXIe standard providing a single slot cabled solution for Test Evolution AXIe instruments.

An EV100 instrument can be used standalone or as a 1U rack mountable instrument upgrade for existing test systems. The Rear Transition Module (RTM) has high-density direct connection to the AXIe instrument cards and provides a cable interface to the DUT site. Digital instruments utilize a high density coax cable interface while the device power supply instruments utilize a twisted pair cable to the DUT site.

 

The EV100 test system can be used for device characterization as well as production testing.
