Abstract
A system-level (SLT) of a CPU device is performed in an automated test environment. Each device under test is automatically placed an SLT station and a test is performed at an initial operating speed. A CPU device which passes the test is then automatically removed and placed in a storage container based on that operating speed, also known as a rating (or rated) speed. If the device fails the test, however, then it remains in the test station and the operating speed of the station is adjusted until the device is able to pass the test. Once successful, the device is automatically removed and placed in a storage container based on the operating speed at which it finally was successful. A device which is unable to pass a system-level test at any speed is automatically removed and placed in a reject bin. This testing procedure is repeated for a number of devices without requiring manual intervention to place the device in the SLT station, adjust the test operating speed, or binning the CPU device according to its rated speed.
