The Chroma 3680 platform provides flexible configurations and wide coverages to compatibly test different types of devices. The system is flexible to deploy the conflagration up to 2048 pins within 24 universal slots with the digital performance up to 1Gbps, the largest default 256MW vector memory, ±150ps EPA for superior timing accuracy in high speed application, and provides various options such as HDADDA2 for converter test, HDVI for high voltage & automotive, HDAVO for performance mixsignal with video applications of 400Msps AWG & 250Msps DIG and another high precision audio application of 24bit AWG & DIG. The 3680 also includes mainframe cabinet containing AC, DC power distribution unit and system power supply. An optional test head manipulator is offered for docking with automated device handing equipment. The system is specifically designed for high throughput and high parallel testing capability to provide the best solution for fabless, IDM and testing houses. With full functions of test capability, high accuracy, powerful software,and excellent reliability, the 3680 is ideal for testing consumer devices, high-performance microcontrollers, analog devices and SoC devices. The Chroma 3680 is an Advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) Test System is a high-precision Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) platform designed to handle the complex, high-mix, and high-speed testing requirements of modern semiconductor chips, particularly those used in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Edge AI, IoT communication, and automotive applications.

Core Technical Specifications
  • Digital I/O Channels: Configurable up to 2,048 digital pins across 24 universal slots.
  • Data Rate: Speeds reaching up to 1 Gbps.
  • Vector Memory: Up to 16G SCAN vector storage depth to handle dense, massive AI testing patterns.
  • Parallel Testing: Supports highly parallel testing layouts capable of running up to 2,048 sites concurrently.
  • Timing Accuracy: ±150 ps Edge Placement Accuracy (EPA) for high-speed signal validation.
Key Performance Modules
The system utilizes a modular, expandable platform allowing semiconductor houses to hot-swap testing capabilities depending on the chip architecture.
  • HDRF2 / HDRF3 RF Boards: Features up to 32 RF ports and 4 Vector Signal Transceivers (VSTs) for direct-mount, cabling-free testing of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 6/7, and 5G signals up to the 30 GHz millimeter-wave band. 
  • HDAVO Module: Specifically designed for mixed-signal and video applications, incorporating high-precision 400 Msps Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) and 250 Msps Digitizers.
  • Power & Parametric Units: Integrated Device Power Supplies (DPS) and Parametric Measurement Units (PMU) optimized for power management ICs (PMICs) and automotive high-voltage checks.
AI-Driven Software Architecture
The platform operates on Chroma's Windows-native CRISPro software platform. It incorporates Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to automate test program migration. This software stack cuts engineering overhead by over 80% when translating code architectures from legacy testing platforms (such as Teradyne J750 workflows) into Chroma-compatible code.

When you consider that CIL compliments this with Automatic Wire Bonding and our extensive SMT & test capabilities, CIL can offer a total product solution.
