Semtech Debuts High-Speed Pin Electronics Driver for Next-Generation Memory Testers; E7765 Quad-Channel Pin Electronics Driver Features Differential Mode and Can Generate Test Signals at Data Rates up to 1.3GHz / 2.6Gbps.CAMARILLO Camarillo (kă'mərē`yō), city (1990 pop. 52,303), Ventura co., S Calif.; inc. 1964. It is the center of a fertile farm area where citrus fruits and flowers are grown. , Calif. -- Semtech
Semtech Corporation (NASDAQ: SMTC) is a supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors. Corp. (Nasdaq:SMTC SMTC Southern Maine Technical College SMTC Science/Mathematics/Technology Center (Central Michigan University) SMTC Saluda Mountain Telephone Company (Knoxville, Tennessee) SMTC Short-To-Medium Term Control ), a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors for communications, portable devices, computers, and industrial equipment, today announced the E7765, the first off-the-shelf quad-pin electronics driver with the performance and differential signal capability required for testing next-generation, high-speed high-speed adj. 1. Operated or designed for operation at high speed: a high-speed food processor. 2. Taking place at high speed: a high-speed chase. 3. memory devices such as DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory III. The E7765 supports both single-ended Single-ended is a method by which logic signals are transmitted over a cable. Single-ended may also refer to:
The E7765 is capable of creating single-ended and differential signals with voltage swings as small as 100mV and up to 8V over a -2V to +7V common mode range. Each of the independent drivers is capable of generating signals with data rates up to 1.3GHz/2.6Gbps, putting the device in the top tier of performance for off-the-shelf pin electronics ICs. Programmable rise and fall time adjustment allows for the driver output waveforms of the E7765 to be optimized for perfect symmetry symmetry, generally speaking, a balance or correspondence between various parts of an object; the term symmetry is used both in the arts and in the sciences. . The extremely fast signal rise and fall times of this device allow it to sustain a wide data eye pattern in differential mode, enabling it to be used for at-speed testing of devices with high-speed differential inputs. "The E7765 is the fastest quad channel pin driver on the market," said Tim Wilhelm, Director of Marketing for Semtech's Test & Measurement Division. "Its rise and fall times are over twice as fast as any off-the-shelf high-speed pin driver available today, and its differential capability is unique in the realm of ATE pin drivers." Key Features of the E7765 --Four fully integrated, tri-statable drivers --Differential drive mode --Adjustable driver rise, fall times ---2V, +7V driver voltage range: Directly tests all logic families --14 x 14 x 1.4 mm 80-pin LQFP See QFP. package --Exposed heat slug (hardware, processor) heat slug - A metal plate that helps dissipate heat away from the silicon core of a processor to the packaging or heat-sink. on top for simplified thermal management Pricing and Availability The E7765 is available immediately in production quantities and is priced at $46.84 each in 1,000-piece lots. The order code for the part is E7765AXFT. Semtech offers comprehensive design assistance, including field- and factory-based support.
