Abstract
Automated test equipment is provided which includes a test head having a tester electronics bricks mounted to a device interface board. In some embodiments, support circuitry is positioned adjacent the tester electronics bricks opposite the DIB. The support circuitry may include power circuitry and/or data bus circuitry, which may be coupled to separate sides, or the same side of the tester electronics brick. A heat transfer apparatus located between the DIB and the support circuitry may be provided for cooling the tester electronics bricks. A tester electronics brick may include multi-chip modules arranged so that the edges generally define interface sides of the tester electronics brick. These sides may include a DIB interface side mounted to the DIB, a data bus interface side, a power interface side, and a heat transfer interface side. Contacts may be located at the edges of the MCMs.
