Maxim Selects Teradyne for Auto Sensor Test

June 16th, 2009

Maxim Integrated Products has selected the Teradyne microFLEX test system to test automotive sensor devices. The DC80 features a high-density voltage/current (V/I) option for high voltage and low current requirements that works well for testing integrated automotive and power devices, including LED drivers, printer drivers and automotive controllers.

The DC80 combines 20 four-quadrant VI channels able to achieve 80 volts and 50 mA. It also contains two time measurement units with 40 Mhz bandwidth and 500 pS accuracy which allow for reduced DIB and test program complexity, thereby reducing time to production release. The DC80 also improves test execution and throughput with three low current ranges between 200 uA and 200 mA to minimize current switching and Direct Memory Access (DMA) to accelerate large block data transfers.
