Overview

Semiconductor memories are in high demand to meet the needs of fast-growing end markets such as portable electronics and servers. It has been forecasted that applications ranging from mobile devices and data centers to automobiles, gaming systems and graphics cards will consume an estimated 120 billion gigabits of DRAM capacity. To meet this market demand, new generations of memories with data-transfer speeds of 6.4 Gbps and higher are being developed. Advantest's second-generation T5503HS2 tester is designed to handle these ultra-high-speed memory ICs.
