MultiLane’s family of ATE instruments share the same technology inside as their leading-edge

benchtop BERT and SCOPE counterparts. Their 50-GHz bandwidths expand digital and analog

validation and production testing capabilities up to 112 Gbps (PAM4) and have been seamlessly

integrated into Advantest’s V93000 ATE tester.

In addition to BERT and SCOPE instruments, MultiLane offers turn-key solutions for ATE testing. The

solution includes application development, including DUT load board design, and embedded high

throughput application libraries. These solutions will enable fully automated, at-speed testing up to

112 Gbps of high-speed I/O devices.

Overview of the V93K HSIO System

Advantest and MultiLane offer a single platform solution which leverages the best capabilities and

qualities of both companies.

These two established test equipment companies have developed a highly integrated solution that brings

these high-frequency resources very close to the device under test (DUT) and significantly enhances signal

integrity and test accuracy.
