Robson Technologies, Inc.

RTI has developed many complete interface solutions, including everything required to interface to third party test systems. These solutions are semi-custom, meaning we can modify any of them to meet your specific requirements. In most cases these solutions interface to RTI's standard daughter cards and sockets. We are adding new solutions every month, so please call to see if we have already designed an interface solution for your specific requirement.

Some examples of interface solutions we have designed include:

Open Top BGA socket and Daughter Card for Failure Analysis: The socket is for a 0.5mm pitch BGA device. The clip-on open-top lid has an adjustable pressure plate to allow microprobing. The impedance-controlled daughter card interfaces to an RTI pogo ring designed for up to 384 signals, power, sense lines and grounds.

This system allows the HILEVEL test system to be used for testing under a probe station, in a black box, EMI, and other remote locations from the HILEVEL. All 512 channels are available from the HILEVEL test system. The interface between the HILEVEL test system and the daughter card fixture is through controlled impedance ribbon cable and pogo pin connectors. The daughter card fixture is designed to sit on a wafer chuck for probing or upside down on an EMI system. Daughter cards (DUT boards) are 6.5 x 8.0 inches. The daughter cards interface directly to the pogo pin cables. Loop-back boards are available for system set up and test. The HILEVEL interface DUT board plugs directly into the HILEVEL test system. The handles on the DUT board make removal from the test system easier.

Universal QFN Fixtures for topside and backside testing including ability to:

  • Micro probe topside
  • Heat the package for liquid crystal testing using RTI's temperature controller
  • Backside test
  • Heated backside test using RTI's heated lid and temperature controller
  • Heated and cooled top and backside test using a hot / cold wafer chuck

Other features of this system include:

  • Pogo pin interface to the daughter cards
  • The same socket and mini card can be used for all applications
  • Four lid styles available
  • Universal pogo pin interface fixtures
  • Standard 100 pin Yamaichi interface cable

This is one of several RTI standard interfaces to UTI's curve trace system using the UTI 25 x 25 ZIF PGA interface (an extended handle on the ZIF socket may be required). The interface shown can either interface to four 96 channel ribbon cables using Yamaichi 100 pin connectors, or directly to RTI's 96 daughter card also shown. RTI has several 34 pin header interfaces (32 channels per header) for the UTI system.


Liquid Crystal Analysis Systems: RTI has built hundreds of different fixtures for liquid crystal analysis. Systems include heated sockets, daughter boards, mother boards, interface cables, temperature controllers, and mechanical interfaces for mounting the fixtures to probe stations and other test equipment. RTI has solutions for fully populated BGA devices, fine pitch devices, as well as most standard packages.

The RTI-950-1001-FB200-IF-05 interface fixture is designed to interface with the NSC 200 curve Tracer FX * series. The fixture is designed to accept RTI's 950-96MC and 950-196 series daughter cards. A large selection of standard daughter cards is available to meet almost every FA and socket requirement. RTI can also provide custom daughter cards as well as custom interfaces to the FB200.

The FB200 is a low cost curve trace system manufactured by NSC.
