Santa Rosa, CA. Keysight Technologies, announced the U9403A Mini In-Circuit Tester (ICT), a full-featured in-circuit test solution in a 5U rack-mount instrument form factor. Keysight will unveil the new Mini ICT system at IPC APEX EXPO, in Las Vegas March 15-17.
The U9403A Mini ICT includes Keysight’s advanced vectorless test technology and provides an unmuxed per-pin programmable digital test architecture, suitable for manufacturers testing low-access devices. With support for the industry-standard Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI), the Keysight Mini ICT runs true scalable parallel testing—synchronous or asynchronous. SCPI also simplifies the addition of in-circuit test, component level testing and diagnostics capabilities into functional test programs.
The U9403A Mini ICT will demonstrate simultaneous dual-board testing in full-automation mode using Sawyer, Rethink Robotics’ latest high-performance smart collaborative robot. This is a cost-effective automation solution that can transform a company’s current operations through increased uptime, lower scrap rates and significant process quality enhancements.
“The Keysight Mini In-Circuit Test solution provides our customers with a flexible set of in-circuit test tools and capabilities that are especially useful when test access is limited,” said N.K. Chari, director of marketing and support, Measurement Systems Division, Keysight Technologies. “The Mini ICT system can be readily integrated with functional test platforms and will help manufacturers get their products to market faster at a lower cost.”
The U9403A Mini ICT is scheduled to be available in late March. Pricing for a 250-node test system starts at $30,000.
