MPDigital Controller

New AFP control box

Description

The Gateway to Enhanced Technology for Failure Analysis

The MPDigital Controller, MultiProbe's new AFP control box, is designed on top of a nanoprobing-specific, custom digital communication interface for the ultimate in flexibility, reliability, and performance. It's equipped with the industry standard high-speed USB 2.0 communication link, providing up to a 480Mbits/sec sustained data transfer rate, while reducing excessive cabling.

Multiple DSP processors perform computationally intensive tasks in parallel, offloading numerous calculations from the host and improving overall system performance. The large onboard memory buffers provide for a robust data acquisition approach, resulting in faster, more accurate real-time information. Finally, with field-upgradeable firmware and a modular Compact PCI architecture, it's now easier than ever to benefit from the latest in MultiProbe's ongoing, cutting-edge product development.

The MPDigital Controller is easily upgradable and configurable, supporting MultiProbe's complete line of Failure Analysis hardware, including Scanning Capacitance, PicoCurrent, Non Contact Imaging, CAD Navigation and up to six MPII probe heads. The MPDigital Controller is also a platform for current and future product development, such as digital feedback control, SNAP scanning, Thermal Chuck and more. (Download pdf)
