Xcerra Blog High Volume Production Test of Gigabit SerDes Ports: Meeting the Economic and Technical Challenges

To address the challenges of high volume production test of Gigabit SerDes Ports, Xcerra has successfully developed an unconventional CMOS-based low power SerDes test instrument that has 32 transmit and 24 receive channels respectively for the Diamondx and DxV tester platform. The HSI1x instrument has been designed for both laboratory usage and high volume production needs. This accomplishment was made possible by leveraging Xcerra's decades of experience in designing low-power, high density, air-cooled ATE instrumentation, along with cutting edge SerDes technology and an innovative proprietary interconnect design. Built upon an inherently source-synchronous architecture, while maintaining complete coherence to the host ATE system, the HSI1x achieves the best balance between ATE flexibility and bench-instrument focused performance.
