Programmer / Ate Signal Routing - Equinox Systems ISPnano IV-ATE Series Hardware User Manual

4.0 Programmer / ATE Signal routing

4.1 Overview
The ISPnano Series 4 programmer is designed to accept a single user-replaceable 'I/O Connector
Module'. This plug-in connection module concept allows a DUT to connect to the module instead of
the programmer directly. In the event of a programmer failure, the module can simply be unplugged
from the programmer and then programmer replaced without having to re-wire the fixture.
A range of different 'I/O Connector Modules' are available which are designed to suit different signal
routing requirements. The table below shows the range of 'I/O Connector Module' which are
currently available....

Overview of module signal routing
•
Only TVCC and TVPP are switched (isolated)
through relays.
•
All other signals are routed directly from the
programmer to the DUT.
•
All programming and power signals are routed
through relays.
•
The DUT is routed to the 'ATE Port' by default and
only routed to the programmer when a
programming operation is in progress.
