DUT Boards
RTI designs and manufactures DUT boards for many types of special purpose test equipment including: ESD test systems, special purpose functional testers, automated curve trace equipment, as well as standard semiconductor test equipment. All designs are performed in-house using PCB design software (Mentor PADS, CAM350) and 3D mechanical design software (Solid Edge) if required. PCB fabrication is sub-contracted to one of our long-time fabrication partners. All boards have a 100% opens and shorts test before assembly. All final assembly and final test is performed in-house.
Design features of the DUT boards can include:- Multi-Layer (Up to 32 layers)
- Controlled Impedance
- Equal Line Lengths
- Programming Matrix for Power and Grounds
- Active and Passive Components
- Mechanical Interfaces (Docking Plates, etc.)
- Active Switching Matrix for Increasing Pin Counts
- Pogo Pin Interfaces
- Daughter-Mother Board Configurations
- Gold and Platinum Plating

This system was designed to dynamically burn-in a custom multi-chip module with over 200 I/O on 0.8mm pitch. The custom RTI socket contains a heat sink that attaches to a larger heat sink on the back side of the burn-in board. The dual latch clip-on lid has an adjustable pressure plate using a brass machined knob for heat dissipation.
