  • Patent number: 4639664
    Abstract: In accordance with a broad aspect of the invention, a system is presented for parametrically and functionally testing integrated circuit devices in parallel. At least one integrated circuit device receiving channel is provided for defining a plurality of integrated circuit device test stations therealong, and means are provided for delivering parametric and functional test signals at least functionally in parallel to each of the integrated circuit device test stations. Means are provided at each test station for selectively engaging the integrated circuit devices to apply the parametric and functional test signals to the integrated circuit device at that station, and to selectively isolate the device from the test signals. Means are provided for receiving an output from each test location in response to the test signals, and means for determining from the output the parameters of each tested integrated circuit device.
