EVA100 – Evolutionary Value Added Measurement System

Advantest has developed an IC test system concept called EVA, which supports the integration of various instruments in a handy, modular test head.

With the increase of the number of so-called "smart devices", the demands on analog sensor ICs are constantly rising. Better performance, higher precision and longer reliability have always been important keywords, and they are getting even more important – on the other hand, there is a requirement to keep the cost for testing at the same level, and even to reduce it.

With the highly integrated EVA100 test system, Advantest offers a convincing combination – a modular hardware concept, combined with user-friendly, intuitive software. Developers can easily acquire the necessary knowledge for developing test routines, and no specialist knowledge is required to operate the system.

The EVA100 supports a range of power supply modules, 4-quadrant SMUs (Signal Measurement Units), pattern generators, AWGs (Arbitrary Waveform Generators), digitizers and oscilloscopes for in-depth measurement of analog/mixed-signal DUT’s.

 The software of the system is particularly well designed. The extremely intuitive GUI requires only drag & drop operations in order to create setups intuitively, quickly and safely. Automatic reporting functions improve the efficiency of deskwork and provide clear documentation.

This makes the EVA100 an excellent fit for the characterization, functional evaluation and mass production evaluation of low pin count analog, mixed signal and digital devices, e.g.

DC-DC converters, voltage regulator ICs, AD converters, DA converter ICs, MCU or standard logic ICs, DFT test.
