MULTITRACE CURVE TRACER
Mid-sized curve tracer with flexible pin range from 216-1152 pins, with 625 pins being the most popular configuration.
MultiTrace System Components
Each curve trace model has a different system setup based on your device’s pin count. For the MultirTrace, the model’s system is comprised of a few separate pieces.
Full Curve Trace System
MultiTrace comprises a test chassis, PC and monitor, and a test fixture that fits your device and testing needs. Typically, the PGA-625 fixture or the 1152 Octopogo fixture are paired with the MultiTrace.
Test Chassis
The test chassis holds all the components in our curve trace systems such as drives, busses, power supplies, and more.
PGA-625 Fixture
The standard fixture for MultiTrace is our PGA-625 fixture. RTI supports a wide range of DUT boards for this fixture. Remote extension is available for the interface.
1152 Octopogo Fixture
The 1152 OctoPogo Fixture Box is a high pin count fixture for use with the MultiTrace curve tracer. Designed as an alternative to the MultiTrace’s 625-PGA interface, the 1152 fixture box uses the same Octopogo pin block and daughter card format found on the stand-alone MegaTrace.
MultiTrace Automated Curve Tracer
The MultiTrace curve tracer is a mid-sized benchtop model supporting pin counts from 216-625 pins and includes the PGA-625 fixture as a standard interface. It utilizes the same MultiTrace software applications and boasts an economic footprint for benchtop testing environment. Every MultiTrace is shipped with an LCD monitor, industrial controller running the MultiTrace Software Suite, and the most recent Windows version.
The MultiTrace is an automated curve trace system used for unpowered and powered curve tracing, multiple testing configurations and capabilities. See the curve trace configuration page to learn more about our configurations.

MultiTrace Test Fixture Boxes
PGA-625 Fixture
Standard fixture with the MultiTrace system for 30 years. Basic features include a PGA ZIF socket with a 25×25 array for a maximum of 625 pins. A 1 to 1 Make-Break jumper area allows external connections to pins under test or isolates pins from the test system. Lower pin count systems depopulate socket in predictable ways; RTI supports a wide range of DUT boards for this fixture. Remote extension is available for the interface.
Verifier Board Fixture
For users supporting ESD testing, this option offers low-cost and convenience of needing one DUT board for both test systems. Verifier 256 or 512 pin DUT boards are compatible.
1152 OctoPogo Fixture
The 1152 OctoPogo Fixture Box is a high pin count fixture for use with the MultiTrace curve tracer. Designed as an alternative to the MultiTrace’s 625 pin PGA interface, the 1152 fixture box uses the same Octopogo pin block and daughter card format found on the stand-alone MegaTrace.
This fixture box incorporates a drive bus interface that provides access to all drives and measurement nodes by banana jacks. Each signal path includes a single header pin connection for auxiliary test configurations, manual signal routing, and verification.
PGA-625 Fixture DUT Boards
Side by Side Adapter
“Side by side” DUT board supports up to 625 pins. This style has the socket and PGA array adjacent to each other and is often used with BGA DUT boards.
DIP DUT Boards
Programming adapters generally have a DIP-48 footprint and are used in programming device programmers. Pins can be scrambled or numbered the same as the DUT.
Custom DUT Board
Remote docking interfaces are compatible with the PGA-625. Custom DUT boards are available.
1152 OctoPogo DUT Boards
Octopogo DUT Boards
Unlike the DIP and PGA ZIF interfaces commonly used in lower pin count MultiTrace configurations, the 1152 fixture box features a built-in RTI standard Octopogo interface. This load board style interface is designed for use with RTI’s Octopogo daughter boards that mount directly to the pin block array on top of the fixture box. Each board can be laid out to your DUT or be made universal when combined with RTI’s universal BGA test socket.
Extended OctoPogo DUT Boards
Extended OctoPogo DUT board functions similar to the PGA-625’s side-by-side adapter board for the 1152 OctoPogo fixture box with the same pin count as the standard OctoPogo DUT board.
