cohu, inc. announced the introduction of its next generation tri-temperature, active thermal control technology on the eclipse platform.

eclipse delivers scalable performance for testing a wide range of semiconductors, from analog ics to high performance mobile processors. the new capability incorporates cohu’s proprietary tri-temperature t-core thermal technology providing precise, multi-site temperature management and yield optimization for an emerging class of automotive processors.

it also enables both idm and fabless customers to test high-end processors used in augmented virtual reality and deep-learning applications, giving continuity to cohu’s leadership in advanced thermal test.

“the new eclipse tri-temperature offering will further solidify cohu’s test handling leadership in the growing automotive market. we are well positioned to address the emerging adas (automated driver assist systems) test requirements where a new category of powerful processors need precise temperature control in stringent environmental conditions. recent multiple customer wins highlight cohu’s thermal architectural advantage in the eclipse pick-and-place handler,” said samer kabbani, general manager of cohu’s delta design business unit.
