Integrated handler and tester workcell

The Centaur system workcell combines a high-performance logic test system and a high-throughput handler with automated docking and DUT interface. It also offers the optional capability of performing device lead and mark inspection, and has remote debug and diagnostic capabilities. In addition to combining process steps, the Centaur provides for complete integration of the tester, handler, manipulator, loadboard, and contactor. The system can handle many package types, such as TSSOPs, ?BGAs, and QFPs; it can handle up to 32 parts at a time for maximum throughput or be configured to handle fewer devices in parallel (2, 4, or 8) with the ability to change over to other package types in <10 min.
