With its own Engineering and Manufacturing facility and expertise, Gold Technologies can design and manufacture what you need in semiconductor testing – from spring probe pogo pins to connectors to test sockets/contactors – from prototype, validation, characterization to high volume ATE and Burn In.
As everybody is trying to figure out what the Internet of Things (IoT) will look like and how connected things will work, I'd like to address a question that many people have: why design your own Integrated Circuit (IC) rather than just use an off-the-shelf processor, write software and be done?
In a nutshell, because ...
LoadBoard (LB) is a mandatory, custom made PCB, that acts as a mechanical and electrical interface between the tester (ATE) and the device under test (DUT). LoadBoard has well-defined physical dimensions and it must fit perfectly into the tester.
It is one piece of the entire ASIC Test Solution and it ...
Burn in Board is a printed circuit board which functions as a jig in the Burn-in process. The Burn-in Board is used as part of the ASIC reliability testing process during which components are stressed to detect failures. Burn in Boards consist of sockets to accommodate the tested ASICs and ...
