Teradyne’s Omnyx tests PCBA for AI servers

Teradyne is introducing Omnyx, a manufacturing test platform for detecting operational defects in printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA).

It’s aimed at AI servers and data center systems and the company says it combines structural, parametric, high-speed interconnect and functional testing.

The ideal is to allow manufacturers to identify defects earlier in the production process. This would improve yield and quality for high-value AI and data centre hardware.

According to the company, Omnyx incorporates high-speed interconnect and mission-mode/software-directed tests. This is to provide coverage for at-speed and operational defects, typically only detectable at functional test insertions.


“Teradyne Omnyx represents a significant leap forward in PCBA testing, providing our customers with the tools they need to meet the demands of modern AI and data center hardware,” said Mark Kahwati, general manager of the Production Board Test division at Teradyne.

“This platform not only enhances product quality but also accelerates time to market, a critical factor in today’s fast-paced environment. We’re proud to deliver a solution that addresses the complex testing challenges our customers face as our industry innovates new solutions to support advanced AI applications.”
