At Smiths Interconnect, we are constantly striving to exceed the evolving demands of the semiconductor industry. The Davinci 112 test socket, and expansion of the DaVinci Series, is designed to tackle some of the most complex challenges in testing Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). By offering a full range of high-speed testing solutions for 0.35mm pitch and above, the DaVinci 112 ensures precise, reliable results. 

Key Features of the DaVinci 112 Test Socket 

The DaVinci 112 is specifically engineered to handle the advanced requirements of today's most dynamic markets, including Cloud Computing, Data Centers, Artificial Intelligence, and Connected Automotive. These segments have traditionally relied on Central Processing Units (CPUs) and (Graphic Processing Units) GPUs designed for other applications. However, as chip performance, functionality, and size continue to increase, the industry now demands ASICs tailored specifically for these uses.  

Here’s how the DaVinci 112 meets these demands: 

  • Comprehensive Coverage for Complex Testing: With over 4000 I/O pins working simultaneously, the DaVinci 112 test socket manages the intricate needs of high-speed signaling, complex devices, and stringent power requirements. The design ensures compatibility with the latest ASICs, allowing for full functionality testing even under the most challenging conditions. 

  • Enhanced Noise Isolation and Power Delivery: One of the most significant hurdles in high-speed testing is maintaining signal integrity. The DaVinci 112 features an innovative mechanical structure that keeps the ground probe in constant contact with the socket body, ensuring a more stable ground path. This improvement leads to cleaner power delivery and a 50% reduction in pin-to-pin cross-talk compared to our earlier model, the DaVinci 56 test socket. 

  • Higher Production Yields and Throughput: By minimizing false faults and complete functional failures, the DaVinci 112 dramatically increases production yields and overall throughput. These advancements translate into higher chip test yields for our clients and a substantial reduction in testing costs, making it a valuable tool for any manufacturer dealing with complex ASICs.
