Advantest, TSSI team on cloud-based semiconductor test software
Advantest Cloud Testing Service (CTS), the industry’s first on-demand testing service, changes semiconductor component test from physical possession of an asset to a licensing agreement, with the asset itself residing in the cloud. This works well for low-cost entries such as startup design houses, university labs and research institutes, but also is scalable to enterprise-strength semiconductor testing methodologies.
Advantest CTS worked with TSSI on robust pattern translation tools to convert large volumes of design data into the format used by the CX1000 system. The TSSI CX1000 TesterBridge software is modular, runs on either the Linux or Windows operation system and has the same licensing model as the Advantest CTS tester.
“TSSI has been at the forefront of vector translation methodology, focused on thoroughly understanding device behavior for accurate representation in the tester format,” said Hau Lam, chief executive officer of TSSI. “TSSI’s own low-cost monthly licensing model aligns well with Advantest CTS’ leasing concept, eliminating the need for expensive capital equipment in bringing up a new device.”
“Advantest and TSSI are natural partners because of the synergy between the two companies’ business models,” said Koichi Tsukui, managing executive officer of CTS at Advantest Corporation. “Each of our products offers ease of use, modular design and low cost. In addition, the deployment process is the best fit for our Advantest CTS semiconductor test environment, which is tightly linked with our T2000 and V93000 mass-production test platforms.”
TSSI is demonstrating the TSSI CX1000 TesterBridge this week at the 2018 International Test Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
