Automatic/automated test equipment is any automated device that is used to quickly test printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, or any other related electronic components or modules.Nowadays, ATE devices are essentially always controlled by computers although in the past, custom- designed controllers or even relay controls were used.An ATE system can be as simple as a digital multi-meter whose operating mode and measurements are controlled and analyzed by a computer, or as complex as a system containing dozens of complex test instruments capable of automatically testing and diagnosing faults in complex electronic systems, such as very sophisticated flying-probe testers.ATE systems that are used to test Semiconductor devices are called Semiconductor ATE. Such systems can test a wide range of electronic devices and systems, from simple components to integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, and complex, completely- assembled electronic systems.Semiconductor ATE as used today comprises instruments that use Digital Signal Processing to measure a wide range of parameters.
