Lowering Cost: Case Studies

The consumer IC market is very competitive, and cost will often determine who wins and who loses. In this presentation we use actual case studies to show how existing test methodology can be changed to drastically reduce test times and test cost. In addition, it is shown how the changes relate directly to the profit margin of the products tested.
