requirements of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) devices. AI and HPC semiconductor capabilities and complexity are growing swiftly, driven by advanced process nodes, heterogeneous integration and chiplet-based architectures. These devices require significantly higher structural and functional test coverage and processing of rapidly increasing volumes of test data. The Pin Scale 5000B card significantly expands available vector memory, offering deep and scalable storage capacity aligned with industry demands. Hardware and software facilitate optimal memory usage in chiplet-based architectures, reducing customers’ overall consumption and associated costs while addressing evolving memory requirements for the future. The new card also enables customers to efficiently scale their existing test programs and hardware configurations in response to evolving device requirements. This solution is engineered to accommodate contemporary scan fabric architectures, enabling concurrent testing of multiple IP cores using a streaming approach. Its new hardware capabilities allow test results to be observed across multiple cores within a single test pattern execution, enabling instantaneous insights into error distribution among the cores. These capabilities help improve structural coverage and core-level visibility, significantly reducing test times and cost-of-test. The Pin Scale 5000B delivers high-bandwidth test access, offering data rates up to 5 Gbps through the proven pin electronics architecture of the Pin Scale 5000. Pin Scale 5000B is a fully compatible superset of the established Pin Scale 5000, complementing the V93000 portfolio. “With AI and HPC devices pushing the limits of scale and integration, semiconductor test solutions must evolve just as rapidly,” said Ralf Stoffels, executive officer and division manager, V93000 Product Unit, Advantest. “Pin Scale 5000B builds on and complements our existing proven Pin Scale 5000 card to further expand the capabilities of the V93000 EXA Scale platform with the performance and scalability our customers need to address increasing device complexity.” The Pin Scale 5000B digital test instrument is now ramping

Melexis announces the MLX80339, a code-free three-phase fan driver integrated circuit designed to bring efficient, low-noise motor control to the global market. Featuring pre-validated logic configurable via an intuitive interface, the code free MLX80339 enables rapid deployment of BLDC motor control without the overhead of software development. Designers of compact sensorless motor systems across mass-market consumer, industrial, and automotive markets are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, acoustic performance, and reliability while keeping cost and development effort under control. Entry level solutions based on single-coil drivers remain common due to their low cost but can compromise efficiency and noise performance. Three-phase solutions deliver superior results yet have traditionally required complex integration and longer development cycles. The MLX80339 bridges this gap, providing the performance advantages of three-phase motor control in a cost effective and easy-to-use integration model. As part of Melexis’ growing family of code-free IC solutions, the device embeds configurable motor control logic directly on-chip, allowing engineers to configure and design their application without specialized expertise. The code-free configuration and supporting Start-to Run tool drastically shorten motor driver prototyping, allowing designs to be operational in less than 15 minutes when used with the evaluation kit and Melexis Compact Master. This intuitive ecosystem generates the required configuration parameters for robust motor startup and operation, replacing significant engineering tasks with simple user inputs. As the motor behavior logic is pre characterized and validated by Melexis, engineers need only carry out final application-specific system validation, further expediting time to market. Designed for sensorless and quiet operation, the MLX80339 supports control up to 20 W at 12 V and 40 W at 24 V, with a
