Cost-Effective, Modularized Press-Type Test System

The press type system is more economical than vaccum type board testers, with fixture costs reduced

by over 50%. Customers can start with a basic manufacturing defects analyzer (MDA) and easily add

functions such as in-circuit test, functional test, on-board programming,

and IEEE 1149 boundary scan when needed.

Full-Featured Analog MDA Can Upgrade to Digital In-Circuit Tester

The TR5001′s modular design allows for all analog or mixed (hybrid) analog/digital testing.

With a maximum 3,200 analog test points, the TR5001 uses a digital signal and filter to

improve analog test performance and speed – much better than traditional MDA’s.

When upgraded to a digital in-circuit tester, the TR5000 offers a maximum of 1,600

analog/digital test points, low-voltage device test capability, high pin-count BGA testing,

and enhanced On-board Flash programming (OBP) capability.

Supports Digital 1:1 Driver/Receiver per Pin Architecture Design

TRI’s efficient design means all pins are drive/receive: there is no multiplexing, no wasted

pins. This lowers system cost for large pin-count devices and allows for fast test program

development, as no vector model is required before fixture development. Engineering

changes to fixture are simpler and cheaper to perform.

Convenient On-Board Programming Solution Saves Time, Money

On-Board programming components, such as Flasch memory and other PLDs

(Programmable Logic Devices) can provide board designers and manufacturers

great flexibility and cost savings. TRI helps reduce component inventory and handling

costs by allowing these devices to be programmed during the test phase instead of

being programmed off-line and then assembled onto the PCBA. The TR5001′s OBP

function allows changes to the programmed data, making ECOs easier and cheaper

to implement.

No Access Test Solutions

TRI board testers are already prepared for the reduce test access found on more and

more PCBAs. In additional to offering Boundary Scan testing, TRI has developed other

no-test access solutions, notably ToggleScan (based on the draft IEEE 1149.8.1 specification)

a socket sensor test and other innovative test methods.

HDI designs feature microvias, which allow for a greater number of components, but eliminate

the traditional test pad: there is no place to put a standard test probe ToggleScan solves this

problem by sensing the test signal through the target device.

Vreg Test

The TRI VregTest™ is an innovative new technology designed to detected defects in power

switching circuits. The VregTest™ goes further than traditional test methods by expanding

test coverage, allowing test probes to be placed an Vreg components such as MOSFET drivers,

MOSFETs coils, and some PCB traces. This limited access method significantly reduces

on-board test points and fixture probes. An ideal application for component-dense

motherboards, TRI has developed the VregTest™ to fulfill the need for better test coverage

that results in the reduction of field failures. TRI dells and services the VregTest™ and

provides customers with installation assistance as well as operational and technical materials.

The TRI VergTest™ improves test coverage compared to traditional test mathods and assists

in computer programming, computer system design, industrial design and computer

hardware consulting projects.
