Mixed-Signal Test

The Tessent™ mixed-signal test solutions are vendor- and ATE-independent, addressing the growing number of SerDes interfaces and PLLs on today’s SoC designs. Characterization with PC plus GPIB-controlled benchtop equipment reduces tester hardware requirements, and the microWire-controlled clock conditioner PLL shortens your time-to-market. Tessent SerdesTest and Tessent PLLTest minimize tester hardware requirements and reduce tests costs.
