Abstract

In a test system for a semiconductor device, the device under test (DUT) is remotely located relative to the tester that generates the test vector signals. The tester and remotely located DUT are connected by a serial connection and each includes a serializer-deserializer for converting outgoing data to serial form and deserializing incoming data.
