The capabilities of the Diamond_X provide customers with the ability to use a test system that incorporates the latest technology for delivering low cost of test while offering instrumentation that can support a range of performance requirements including precision analog, high-speed SerDes digital, and mmWave RF. The architecture of the Diamondx incorporates unique capabilities such as an Integrated Multi-System Architecture, or IMA, that allows customers to better match the test requirements of a device with the cost profile of the test system, thereby achieving the lowest cost of test.

Ganesh Moorthy, president and chief operating officer at Microchip Technology, commented, “Damond_X is not only used for testing microcontrollers; we also rely on the system for high-volume manufacturing test of our wireless, networking (USB, Ethernet, MOST, etc.), touch-controller, and other mixed-signal products. Xcerra provides outstanding technical support in all phases of test development and high-volume production test, and when combined with the economics delivered by the Diamond_X, this creates a powerful combination.”

David Tacelli, president and chief executive officer for Xcerra, commented, “Our goal is to develop the semiconductor test solutions that deliver a powerful combination of performance and economic value complemented by world-class customer support. The growing adoption of the Diamond_X by top tier semiconductor suppliers such as Microchip is validation that our strategy is succeeding.”
