Abstract

As the serial data rate approaches 1Gbps and beyond, Instrumentation vendors have come up with different strategy for design characterization and production. We will explore 2 low-cost test methods by National Instrument and DFTMicrosystems.

DFTMicrosytems offers a compact module that can be integrated to customers test environment and test I/O speed from 2.5Gbps to 5Gbps. National Instruments offers a range of high-speed digital I/O devices from 400 MHz to 1 Gbps that can perform functional tests, handshaking, complex pattern generation, design characterization, and stimulus-response testing.

Biography

Dr. Hafed is a cofounder of DFT Microsystems and serves as its Chief Technology Officer.  He is the inventor of many of the innovations in the company’s products. Dr. Hafed is a recognized industry expert in the area of test and has served on several IEEE committees. He has received several national and international awards for his contributions to mixed-signal test technology, including "Best Paper" awards from both the IEEE International Test Conference and Micronet.

Dominic Lalli is a technical field engineer for National Instruments in Toronto and Southern Ontario. He joined NI in 2007 after graduating with a master’s degree in electrical engineering from McGill University. At NI, Dominic provides customers and prospects with technical support, advice, and consultation in a variety of industries and design, control, and test applications.
