The USB-1149.1/4E is a USB 2.0-based boundary-scan test and in-system programming controller. Offers board testing and in-system programming of CPLDs, FPGAs, and flash memories at full theoretical programming speed. Delivers test vectors at a sustained test clock frequency of 100 MHz. Includes direct I2C and serial peripheral interface-based device programming capabilities. The SPI and I2C interfaces are independent of the JTAG test interface. Features automatic signal delay compensation for long cable runs to the UUT, slew rate control, adjustable input thresholds, software controllable signal pin reassignment, and eight analog channels for measuring target supply voltages or other signals up to +5VDC.

Micro-Line digital dispensing valve, for the Prism coating system, is reportedly much more effective than conventional needle dispensing. Consists of a high-speed liquid metering valve and a precision nozzle. Applies conformal coatings in precise lines or dots as small as 1 mm with the liquid flow rate set electronically. Is applied at a distance from 5 to 15 mm above the board for accurate coating on all substrates.

The MT9928 semiconductor test handler offers up to eight parallel test sites, can test 28,000 UPH, and supports changeover between different types of device under test packages in a short time. Can test semiconductor devices in a temperature range of -55° to 175°C with up to ±2°C of temperature control accuracy. During the test, the temperature stability of devices can reach ±0.5°C. Can also sync thermal levels between DUT and the temperature cavity more quickly. For large-size components like SO300 and SO430, MT9928 reportedly provides greater test speed (2x or more) than other test handlers. Supports standard SOT, SO, MLF and TO packages from 1.2 x 2 mm to 15 x 21 mm, to 0.4 mm component pin pitch.
