Advantest - Testers

Advantest machines are not "plug and play." The SmarTest software is dense. Training a new engineer to proficiency on an Advantest system takes months. The documentation is thorough but technical; it assumes you already know what you are doing.

The V93000 platform is arguably the most successful ATE platform in the history of the semiconductor industry. advantest testers

Advantest machines are not "plug and play

Advantest testers are like a Ferrari – extraordinary performance, precision, and prestige, but you pay for it and you need a skilled driver. If you test memory or leading-edge digital logic, they are worth every yen. For general-purpose or low-cost test, look elsewhere. The V93000 platform is arguably the most successful

While the machines are reliable, the "Cards" (the electronic boards that interface with the chip) are precision instruments. If a channel burns out on a Pin Scale card, the repair bill is astronomical. Third-party repairs are risky due to proprietary calibration data.
