Title: Innovations by Eun-jo Byun
Introduction
Eun-jo Byun is a notable inventor based in Yongin, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor testing, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of testing apparatuses used in semiconductor devices.
Latest Patents
One of Eun-jo Byun's latest patents is a built-off testing apparatus designed to be coupled between a semiconductor device and an external testing apparatus. This innovative device tests semiconductor devices by incorporating a frequency multiplying unit that generates a test clock frequency. It multiplies the frequency of a clock input from the external testing apparatus according to the operation speed of the semiconductor device. Additionally, it features an instruction decoding unit that generates test information by decoding test signals input by the external testing apparatus. The test execution unit then tests the semiconductor device based on this information and determines whether the device has failed, transmitting the resulting data back to the external testing apparatus.
Another significant patent is for a test interface device, which includes a serializer, an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and a deserializer. This device receives parallel test signals from automatic test equipment and serializes them into a single test signal. The optical transmitter converts this signal into an optical format, while the optical receiver converts it back into a serial test signal. The deserializer then transforms the serial test signal back into parallel test signals for the device under test. This innovation improves signal transfer speed and reduces optical resource usage.
