Pickering Interfaces will present its portfolio of industry-standard modular signal switching solutions designed for semiconductor testing and verification at Microelectronics UK. The company will also introduce its recently launched Test System Architect, a graphical design tool created to make signal switching and cabling system design easier and more efficient. Visitors can find Pickering Interfaces at stand E42 during the event, held on 29–30 September at ExCeL London.
Microelectronics UK is a key event for the UK’s microelectronics industry, bringing together experts from areas including semiconductor design, research and development, advanced manufacturing and testing. The event covers a broad range of technologies, including semiconductors, photonics and embedded systems.
“At Pickering, we provide highly specialized switching solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of semiconductor testing,” said Steve Edwards, Head of Product Management at Pickering. “Our systems support applications such as wafer acceptance testing, high pin-count package validation and photonics testing, delivering precise signal routing, low leakage and scalable architectures that integrate seamlessly into complex test environments.”
At the show, Pickering will highlight a range of switching solutions for semiconductor test, including:
- High-density matrix switching – LXI reed relay plug-in matrix (65-221) for LXI scalable chassis, featuring a dual 128×4 configuration, originally developed for semiconductor applications such as parametric testing
- Maximised isolation resistance, up to 1012 Ω – LXI switched guard plug-in matrix for LXI scalable chassis, ideal for applications that require precise, low-level measurements, such as semiconductor test
- Highest crosspoint density – 12-slot BRIC PXI matrix (40-558) using instrumentation quality reed relays, part of a range of ultra-high-density large PXI matrices to suit all high-performance matrix requirements
- 7-slot LXI/USB modular chassis (60-102) – fully compliant with LXI standard, allowing 3U PXI switching and simulation modules to be remotely controlled via USB or in an Ethernet LXI environment
- Test system design software – Test System Architect, a free online graphical tool that enables engineers to design, configure and visualize complete signal paths before deployment, reducing development time and minimizing errors
Also featured will be solutions from Pickering’s reed relay and connectivity divisions.
Pickering Interfaces stands behind its manufactured products with a standard three-year warranty and guaranteed long-term product support.
