The Development of the First IC Tester-per-Pin ATE system

Time Period :1980'sRelevant Date :1983-01-02

Summary : Megatest's MegaOne was the system that sparked the tester-per-pin revolution (1983, courtesy of Teradyne). Find out more in this video that contains great clips of the state-of-the-art in technology development in the early 1980's. The concepts behind it were as important to testing as the jet engine was to aviation.
