Full Description

Scope

-- Define structures in STIL for the specification of resource mapping of ATE hardware architectures.An example of resource mapping is the assignment of tester resources to waveform characters thatare used in STIL vectors.-- Define structures in STIL for including ATE-specific instructions in-line with the STIL data.-- Define structures in STIL that allow for incremental processing whereby, a set of STIL files maybe targeted to multiple ATE systems by allowing separately identified ATE data to coexist.-- Define structures in STIL for defining tester rules checks to ensure that the set of generated STILfiles conform to the selected resources on one or more ATE systems.-- Define structures in STIL for the specification of the resources required for the execution of a set ofSTIL files on a given ATE system.

Purpose

Transferring tester independent test program/pattern data as represented in STIL to a specific ATE systemis a desired capability. It is required to be able to completely and unambiguously specify how the STILprogram/patterns are mapped onto a specific tester s resources. Because of the various different use modelsfor the creation and consumption of test data, it is necessary to enable certain operations (such as rules checking) very early in the process. Likewise it is desirable to allow other operations (such as resourceallocation) to be done very late in the process. The STIL language extensions enable the user/creator astandard way of specifying and controlling the application of test program/pattern data to specific ATEsystems to the extent necessary for each use model scenario.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active.The STIL environment supports transferring tester-independent test programs to a specific ATE system. Although native STIL data are tester independent, the actual process of mapping the test program onto tester resources may be critical, and it is necessary to be able to completely and unambiguously specify how the STIL programs and patterns are mapped onto the tester resources. TRC (which stands for either tester resource constraints or tester rules checking, depending on the usage) is an extension to the STIL language to facilitate this operation.
