Technical Highlights
Test Processor-Per-Pin
Architecture
The technology required to address these challenges is a
highly integrated Tester-on-a-Chip. The Test Processor-
per-pin architecture combines all functions of the digital
tester in one chip. This provides the foundation for full,
fast and effective testing of all components integrated into
SOC devices.
Figure 3 Test Processor-per-pin Architecture
Every pin in the Test Processor-per-pin architecture is its
own tester.
System Architecture The Agilent 93000 SOC Series testers combine highest
speed digital test and highest precision analog measure-
ment into a compact testhead.
