The TestStation ICT now has UltraPin II 121 and 121a pin boards, options that include multiplexed or pure pin, analog-only or hybrid, and low pin-count or high pin-count. Offer non-multiplexed operation with unrestricted pin assignments for both analog and digital test applications and flexibility for programming driver/sensor logic levels, sense thresholds, slew rates and backdrive limits. Come with 15 mV drive and sense accuracy, 2.3 mV programming resolution, low driver impedance and ability to monitor and program backdrive currents. The 121 version has 128 real digital/analog pins per board and supports a maximum of 2,048 high-performance pins when configured in a TestStation LH, or 3,840 when installed in TestStation LX. The 121a version has 128 analog pins. Pricing starts at less than $100,000.

The PS588 high-volume offline programmer now features ICOS 3D inspection. Is said to combine programming and 3D inspection into one high-speed process. Robotic head picks and presents device to the ICOS inspection module, where x, y and z axes are visually inspected for flaws or damage. Post-programming inspection reportedly ensures all passed devices fall within the coplanarity tolerances before output to media. Also inspects lead pitch and slant. Designed for OEM/ODM or programming centers producing in high volumes for small or large batches.
