Ridgetop Europe/Q-Star
Ridgetop Europe is committed to providing the best in class current measurement solutions, addressing the various aspects of current measurements, supporting both quiescent as well as dynamic current measurement and current measurement based test strategies. The Q-Star add-on solutions typically can make measurements 100 to 1000 times faster than embedded ATE solutions, are able to drive high capacitive loads and have a measurement resolution / repeatability which is typically an order of magnitude better than the embedded ATE measurement solutions. These characteristics support the use and application of current testing for an efficient and reliable screening of devices, even in the presence of large background currents.
Ridgetop Europe's DFT and DFR consulting and training services aim to bridge the still existing gap between design and test of electronic products and to avoid costly redesign cycles due to lacking test requirements by providing IC designers a better insight in the test process and test requirements and to support the implementation of a proper DFT strategy as part of the design flow. Considering testability and reliability already from the start of the design cycle, avoids costly redesign cycles addressing test and verification limitations and further allows to reduce the overall product costs by providing test optimization means once product verification has been done.

Test Systems Strategies Incorporated (TSSI) is a leader in design-to-test vector translation and validation software solutions.
Founded in 1979, TSSI continues to command the largest installed base in the vector translation and validation markets. Design and test teams of all sizes use our advanced methodologies to save time, cut costs, and dramatically decrease time to market.
One of TSSI's major contributions includes the invention of the Waveform Generation Language (WGL), the de-facto standard for ATPG (automatic test pattern generation) and tester interface. Our technical team was also part of the original core members to define and facilitate the standardization of the IEEE 1450.0-1999 STIL standard. This TSSI technical team co-authored the first STIL "yellow" book: "Elements of STIL - Principles and Applications of IEEE Std. 1450".
TSSI provides innovative products and premier services for converting functional and structural simulation data from EDA (electronic design automation) output formats to the broadest line up of ATE (automatic test equipment) program files on the market. Our revolutionary virtual test technologies offer design and test teams time and cost savings in pre- and post-silicon test program verification, debugging, and failure analysis.
