Advantest T5503HS Test System

New tester delivers performance and speed

needed to test DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory ICs

used throughout portable electronics and servers

With today’s mobile electronic devices and the servers

that support them handling ever-increasing volumes

of data, semiconductor memory manufacturers need a

highly capable, cost-efficient means of testing their latest

generations of high-speed, high-capacity memory ICs –

including emerging DDR4-SDRAM and LPDDR4-SDRAM

chips. ADVANTEST’s T5503HS tester gives memory

manufacturers that industry-leading performance and a

low cost of test along with an upgradable system design.

High-speed test solution

ADVANTEST’s T5503HS system provides an optimal test

solution for double-data-rate SDRAMs and other next

generation memory chips. The tester can operate at speeds

up to 4.5 Gbps, fast enough to perform full-coverage testing

of the most advanced memories. In addition, the system

uses individual level settings, I/O dead-band canceling and

data-bus inversion (DBI) to maximize throughput in testing

high-speed devices.

To further enhance test performance, the T5503HS

automatically generates cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes

and command/address (CA) parity codes to match the I/O

data rates and address of any DUT. This enables quick and

efficient development of new test programs, which reduces the

demands on customers’ resources while also improving the

time to market for new semiconductor designs.

Optimized for productivity

Capable of testing of up to 512 DDR4-SDRAM devices

in parallel, the T5503HS is a cost-effective, high-volume

test solution. The system’s real-time source-synchronous

function enables high throughput.  Additionally, an advanced

timing-training capability helps to identify the most effective

test solution faster than other systems on the global market.

Together, these functions allow the T5503HS tester to achieve

much higher productivity than software-based systems.

Extendible lifetime

With its modular architecture, the T5503HS is designed to help

customers get the most value from their capital investments.

The system is available as a fully compatible upgrade on

ADVANTEST’s field-proven T5503 test platform.  This enables

users to extend the performance of their existing testers while

also getting greater ROI as next-generation ICs are introduced.
