Patent number: 7003416Abstract: A method for monitoring the performance of a test apparatus (1) for testing a batch of integrated circuits. The apparatus 1 comprises a test site 2 in which the integrated circuits are sequentially tested, and a microprocessor (4) for carrying out the appropriate tests on the integrated circuits. A first ROM (5) stores a computer programme for controlling the operation of the microprocessor (4) for carrying out the tests, and a first RAM (10) stores a computer programme for controlling the operation of the microprocessor (4) for monitoring the performance of the test apparatus (1). In particular, the computer programme stored in the first RAM (10) operates the microprocessor (4) for computing the test time period for each integrated circuit tested, and also for computing the intervening time periods between each integrated circuit tested. The intervening time periods between the respective test time periods are classified as either first or second category delays or index time periods.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventor: John Gerard Martin O'Donnell
