Cirexx International Inc. Chooses atg A9 Flying Probe Technology for High-speed Electrical Test
September 19, 2024 | atg Luther & Maelzer GmbHEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH confirms delivery of high-speed bare board testing technology to PCB fabricator, Cirexx International Inc., in Santa Clara, CA.
Consistent with the on-going investment in leading edge technologies at Cirexx International Inc., the A9 8 head, double-sided, high speed, high accuracy flying probe test system represents the newest addition to Cirexx’s test department. The latest atg technology enables Cirexx to test the most advanced ultra-fine designs while helping to reach industry leading throughput goals.
atg’s A9 can test pad sizes down to 35 micron and is capable of testing products up to a size of 21” x 24”. The A9 eliminates limitations due to test point density or fine-pitch contacts and features embedded component test, 4-wire Kelvin measurement capability with an accuracy of +/- 0,025 mΩ, HPOT and latent testing, all in combination with a test speed of up to 230 measurements/second.

Study on Resonance Mitigation in Metallic Shielding for Integrated Circuits
07/08/2025 | Maria Cuesta-Martin, Victor Martinez, Vidal Gonzalez Aguado, Würth ElektronikInherent cavity resonant modes often lead to significant degradation of shielding effectiveness, responsible for unwanted electromagnetic coupling. Cavity resonant modes of the metal shielding enclosure can produce two adverse problems: the mutual coupling among different RF modules and shielding effectiveness reduction of the metal enclosure. The cabinets serve to shield certain components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these cavities present some resonance peaks at 5 GHz, making it impossible to use them at higher frequencies.
