Abstrakt: This paper extends the timing test model in [5] to be more realistic by including the effects of the test fixtures between a device under test and a tester. The paper enables analyzing the trade-offs that arise between the predicted yield and the required overall test environment timing accuracy (OTETA) which involves the tester overall timing accuracy (OTA) and the test fixtures' impacts. We specifically focus on the application of the extended model to predict the test yield of standard high-speed interconnects, such as PCI Express, Parallel/Serial RapidIO, and HyperTransport. The extended model reveals that achieving an actual yield of 80% with a test escape of 300 DPM (Defects Per Million) requires an equivalent OTETA that is about half the acceptable absolute limit of the tested parameter.
