Abstract

An improved method of simulating the testing of integrated circuits is provided. A database of desired connections between a tester unit and a DUT for different downbonds is accessed by a multiplexer which sets up the desired connections. The system automatically makes the correct connection for each downbond without manual intervention from the user as was required in traditional simulator systems.
