DUT Boards and Adapters for Standard Interfaces
RTI's adapter boards for benchtop and automated curve tracing fixtures use an internally standardized pin mapping process to ensure signal consistency between DUT and tester with each new board design. These solutions are built to work directly with RTI test fixtures using proprietary footprints such as:
SMD (Surface-Mount Device) Test Pads
- Description: Motherboard/Daughterboard designs using pogo-pin block interfaces. Plated over or plated Thru-Hole Vias on the adapter board are positioned in standardized locations to mate with a corresponding pogo pin block on the motherboard.
- Examples: RTI's RMC3 semi-custom mini cards and Octopogo series daughter boards align test points to corresponding pin blocks that directly interface with RTI's MultiTrace, MegaTrace and 950 series benchtop fixture bases.
Socketed Interfaces
- Description: These adapters use standardized Pin Grid Arrays and Dual In-line Pin arrays to interface with off the shelf ZIF and DIP sockets on the corresponding fixture. Removable receptacles are used on PGA interfaces for improved serviceability
- Examples: RTI's "Side-by-Side" adapter boards for the MultiTrace ZIF Fixture Box use standard positioning of 128, 448 and 625 pin grid arrays based on the fixture's max pin count. 48pin DIP adapters can position pins directly under or beside the test socket depending on working limitations.
DUT Boards and Adapters for Industry Standard Interfaces
RTI designs customizable adapter boards to directly route signals from test sockets to industry-standard test interfaces. These adapter boards can include complex circuitry, observe manufacturer specific PCB layout requirements, and incorporate multiple connector and interface types like these:
PCB Edge Connectors
Description: Often used in prototype boards and testing setups, these connectors are designed to interface directly with printed circuit boards (PCBs) via edge connectors.
Examples: PCIe edge connectors, DIMM connectors for memory modules.
Test Fixture Interfaces
Description: Test fixtures are often equipped with standard interfaces that connect to test equipment or other systems.
Examples: D-sub connectors, BNC connectors, SMA connectors.
JTAG Interfaces
Description: JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) interfaces are used for boundary-scan testing and debugging. They provide a standardized way to access internal test points of ICs.
Examples: 20-pin JTAG connectors, 10-pin ARM JTAG connectors.
SWD (Serial Wire Debug) Interfaces
Description: Used for debugging and programming microcontrollers, SWD interfaces are a subset of JTAG with fewer pins.
Examples: 4-pin SWD connectors, 2-pin SWD connectors.
Board-to-Board Connectors
Description: These connectors are used to interface between multiple PCBs, often seen in modular or stacked designs.
Examples: Stackable connectors, mezzanine connectors.
MIL-STD Connectors
Description: Designed for rugged or military applications, these connectors adhere to military standards for durability and performance.
Examples: MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-26482.
FPC/FFC (Flexible Printed Circuit/Flexible Flat Cable) Connectors
Description: These connectors are used for flexible and compact interconnections, suitable for devices with space constraints.
Examples: 0.5mm pitch FPC connectors, 1.0mm pitch FFC connectors.
Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Interfaces
Description: These are specific interfaces used with ATE systems for high-volume or high-precision testing.
Examples: DUT interface boards for ATE systems, probe cards for wafer testing.
USB Interfaces
Description: USB interfaces can be used for a variety of testing and programming applications, particularly in consumer electronics.
Examples: USB connectors, USB-to-SPI/I2C adapters.
Ethernet Interfaces
Description: Used for high-speed data transfer and communication in testing setups.
Examples: Ethernet connectors, Ethernet test modules.
