The Semiconductor Tester Group of Xcerra Corporation introduced the DxV, an ultra-compact ATE with five high performance instrument slots, designed for evaluation lab and production use. The DxV enables new ways to reduce time from design validation to volume production. Combined with existing tools the DxV enables customers to efficiently improve their time-to-volume. The comprehensive Xcerra toolset supports the entire process from design to validation to production readiness and finally high volume production. The DxV is a five slot variant of the successful Diamondx platform. It is a compact self-contained single box solution providing slots for a range of standard Diamondx instruments. The DxV features a fully integrated, production worthy ATE design in ultra-small dimensions, portability, and low weight. The system is designed for low acoustic noise of 55dB enabling easy deployment in office spaces and engineering labs.
