The device under test (DUT) remained connected to ATE and tests like I/O voltage levels and I/O pin leakage were still tested by the ATE. As noted in an earlier post,…

Sometimes it’s quite by accident that a solution developed for one problem solves a similar problem further down the roadmap. In this…
