Category Register Component Handler; Basic Binning Systems; Single-Element Device Binning - Keithley 2500 User Manual

11-12 Limit Testing
If the handler requires a high-going pulse, the four digital output lines of the Model 2500
must initially be set low. The LO, LO, LO, LO clear pattern represents the no action condi-
tion for the handler. When one of those lines are pulled high by a defined pass or fail bit
pattern (i.e., LO, LO, LO, HI), the DUT will be placed in the bit assigned to that pulsed
line.

Category register component handler

When using this type of handler, the Model 2500 sends a bit pattern to three handler lines
when a pass or fail condition occurs. This bit pattern determines the bin assignment for the
DUT. With the pass/fail pattern on the output, line #4 is then pulsed. This end-of-test
(EOT) pulse latches the bit pattern into the register of the handler, which places the DUT
in the assigned bin. When interfacing to this type of handler, a maximum of eight compo-
nent handler bins are supported.
If the handler requires a high-going or low-going EOT pulse, program Model 2500 for
3-bit operation and appropriate EOT mode.
NOTE

Basic binning systems

Two basic binning systems are shown in
require a handler to physically place the device packages in the appropriate bins. The han-
dler is controlled by the Model 2500 via the Digital I/O port.

grammed testing on the DUT is completed, the appropriate digital output information is
sent to the component handler, which then places the DUT in the appropriate bin. The
component handler selects the next DUT, and the testing process is repeated.
