Abstract
Test interconnect systems and methods are described. In one example, a test interconnect includes. A device under test (DUT) interface for connecting to a DUT; a load board interface for connecting to a load board; a circuitized component including an integrated loopback for self-test or self-communication of the DUT; and one or more conductive paths for connecting the DUT to the load board.
Claims30
A test interconnect comprising:
- a device under test (DUT) interface for connecting to a DUT;
- a load board interface for connecting to a load board;
- a circuitized component comprising one or more integrated loopbacks for self-test or self-communication of the DUT;
- and
- one or more conductive paths for connecting the DUT to the load board.
A system comprising:
- a load board;
- and
- a test interconnect comprising:
- a device under test (DUT) interface for connecting to a DUT;
- a load board interface for connecting to the load board;
- a circuitized component comprising one or more integrated loopbacks for self-test or self-communication of the DUT;
- and
- one or more conductive paths for connecting the DUT to the load board.
A method for loopback testing of a DUT, the method comprising:
- configuring a test interconnect to include a device under test (DUT) interface for connecting to a DUT, a load board interface for connecting to a load board, and one or more integrated loopbacks for self-test or self-communication of the DUT;
- applying, using the test interconnect and the load board, a supply voltage and a test pattern that causes the DUT to perform a loopback functionality or a self-test functionality;
- and
- performing a management action based on a result of the loopback functionality or the self-test functionality.
A test interconnect comprising:
- a device under test (DUT) interface for connecting to a DUT;
- a load board interface for connecting to a load board;
- a circuitized component comprising one or more integrated loopbacks for self-test or self-communication of the DUT;
- and
- a Kelvin-type measurement probe that connects to a supply voltage measurement contact.
