Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU), a global supplier of equipment and services optimizing semiconductor manufacturing yield and productivity, today announced a leading multinational Automotive, Industrial, and Computing customer has selected the Diamondx platform for testing power management devices. This customer ordered an integrated test cell solution including Cohu’s Diamondx tester configured with the new VI100 instrument along with major mixed signal platform enhancements paired with Cohu’s NY32 handler and cCompact interface.

The new VI100 product is a four-quadrant voltage and current instrument that combines high-accuracy DC source and measure, including arbitrary waveform source and capture. Designed to address the increasing complexity and integration of analog and power management ICs, the VI100 is configured with a newly enhanced set of mixed signal instruments, multi-core test computer architectures and databus. The Diamondx now offers up to 80% reduced test time compared to legacy systems at less than half the cost-of-test for competitive-liquid cooled systems.

“We are excited to see traction with our Diamondx tester strategy, including the new VI100 instrument, in the mixed signal market and in particular with selection by a top 5 automotive semiconductor manufacturer,” commented Luis Müller, Cohu President and CEO. “The Diamondx now offers a scalable platform for testing next generation mixed signal semiconductors used in automotive, industrial, and computing applications, an estimated $860 million addressable market.”
