MT CENTURY CURVE TRACER
Compact automated curve tracer that supports devices up to 96/100/108 pins.
MT Century System Components
Each curve trace model has a different system setup based on your device’s pin count. For the MT Century, the model’s system is comprised of a few separate pieces.
Full Curve Trace System
MT Century comprises a test chassis, PC monitor, drive bus box, and a test fixture that fits your device and testing needs. Typically, our 950 series fixture is paired with MT Century as pictured above.
Test Chassis
The test chassis holds all the components in our curve trace systems such as drives, busses, power supplies, and more.
Drive Box
The drive box contains all the connections required between the test chassis and the test fixture. The drive box is only associated with the MT Century curve tracer.
Test Fixtures: 950 Series
The most popular fixture to test DUT boards with the MT Century is the 950 Series benchtop test fixture. You will be able to test DUT boards and test sockets on PCB layouts within a 100-pin count via one Yamaichi cable interfacing the 950 and MT Century.
MT Century Automated Curve Tracer
The MT Century curve tracer is a compact benchtop model named after its pin count. It supports 96/100 pin devices and packages with some exceptions going up to 108 pins. This curve tracer is optimized for users with low pin count devices and utilizes the same applications as the larger models: the MultiTrace and MegaTrace.
The MT Century boasts an economic footprint for benchtop testing environments. Every MT Century is shipped with an LCD monitor, PC controller running the MultiTrace Software Suite, and the most recent Windows version.
The MT Century is an automated curve tracer used for unpowered and powered curve tracing, multiple testing configurations, and capabilities. See the curve trace configuration page to learn more about possible setups for your testing needs.

Cables
The MT Century uses two simplified cable interface systems to connect to your DUT board: Yamaichi cables and Native cables. The popular option is the Yamaichi cables connected with the 950 series test fixture.
Yamaichi Cable
A PCB is located on the back of the test system and all pins are routed to a 100-pin connector made by Yamaichi (NDS type). RTI supports this interface for a variety of DUT boards with direct compatibility with the Yamaichi connector. RTI’s peripherals and accessories for all curve trace models share this cable system.
Native Cables
Native 60 pin ribbon cables (54 active pins) connect directly to the DUT boards. If the pin count is lower than 54, RTI can crimp different size connectors to the ribbon cable to make it compatible with simple DUT boards that use IDC ribbon cable interface.
DUT Boards
RTI also builds a range of small DUT boards to support your device or package in different test applications with the MT Century. R1 DUT boards consist a board with a single cable connector routed to a particular device or package sockets such as DIP sockets, ZIF sockets, PGA sockets, and more
R1 DIP DUT Board
R1 board with a 96-pin connector routed to a 48-pin DIP socket. Double DIP R1 boards are available for 96-pin devices or packages.
R1 DUT Board with Test Socket
R1 board with a 96-pin connector routed to a dedicated CSP socket.
R1 ZIF DUT Board
R1 board with a 96-pin connector routed to an empty ZIF socket that supports 96-pin mini cards for various 96-pin sockets.
