  • Patent number: 12615096
    Abstract: A test equipment includes a selection register configured to store a selection index determined based on a selection command, a first tester channel including a first waveform driving device, and a second tester channel including a second waveform driving device. Each of the first tester channel and the second tester channel is multiplexed by a plurality of Device Under Test (DUTs). The first waveform driving device and the second waveform driving device are coupled to the selection register. The first waveform driving device is configured to generate, based on a driving source signal, a first waveform signal for driving multiple of first pins of the plurality of DUTs, and control, based on the selection index and a first bit map corresponding to the first tester channel, an output of the first waveform signal through the first tester channel.

  • Patent number: 12504470
    Abstract: In certain aspects, a pattern generation system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a lookup table set. The lookup table set includes a mapping relationship between source patterns and a set of test channels, and is indexed based on a pin function index. The processor is configured to generate the source patterns, execute a pin-mapping operation based on an instruction to obtain a set of source selection signals for the set of test channels based on the pin function index and the lookup table set, and select and output a source signal from the source patterns for each test channel based on a corresponding source selection signal for the respective test channel.

  • Patent number: 11977115
    Abstract: In certain aspects, a pattern generation system includes a pattern generator, a memory, a pin function register, a pin function mapper, and a set of source selectors. The pattern generator generates a plurality of source patterns. The memory stores a lookup table set. The lookup table set describes a mapping relationship between the plurality of source patterns and a set of test channels, and is indexed based on a pin function index. The pin function register stores a value of the pin function index. The pin function mapper executes a pin-mapping operation to generate a set of source selection signals based on the value of the pin function index and the lookup table set. Each source selector selects and outputs a source signal from the plurality of source patterns to a corresponding test channel based on a corresponding source selection signal received from the pin function mapper.
