Teradyne Introduces Omnyx: Redefining Board Test for the AI Era

Key Terms

printed circuit board assemblies (pcba) technical

A printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is a circuit board populated with electronic components—like chips, resistors and connectors—soldered in place so the board functions as part of an electronic device. Think of the board as the device’s skeleton and the components as organs that make it work; the PCBA is the finished, working module. Investors care because PCBAs are central to product performance, manufacturing cost, supply-chain risk and the ability to scale production, all of which affect revenue and margins.

in-circuit test (ict) technical

An in-circuit test (ICT) is a manufacturing check that probes a finished electronic circuit board to verify each component and its basic connections work as intended, much like checking every light bulb and wire in a string of holiday lights. It matters to investors because ICT helps catch assembly defects early, reducing returns, warranty costs and production delays, and improving product reliability and predictable manufacturing margins.

New test system advances printed circuit board and sub-assembly testing for AI and data center architectures.

NORTH READING, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ: TER), a leading provider of automated test equipment and advanced robotics, today announced the launch of Omnyx, a groundbreaking manufacturing test platform for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) and sub-assemblies, engineered to meet the unique test requirements of AI and data centers. Teradyne Omnyx sets a new standard by integrating structural, parametric, high-speed interconnect, and functional tests into a single platform, addressing critical manufacturing challenges to reduce defect escapes and improve the quality of final assemblies.

Teradyne Omnyx advances printed circuit board and sub-assembly testing for AI and data center architectures.

Next-generation AI and data center products challenge conventional in-circuit test (ICT), which focuses on structural and parametric faults created during the assembly process. As data center assemblies increase in complexity and value, manufacturers require a comprehensive test platform to identify and address new signal integrity and operational defects prior to final assembly.

Teradyne Omnyx incorporates high-speed interconnect and mission-mode/software-directed tests providing coverage for at-speed and operational defects, typically only detectable at functional test insertions. With this approach, manufacturers improve component and sub-assembly quality by detecting costly defects earlier in the manufacturing process. This improves end-of-line yield and quality to meet the stringent requirements of today’s high-performance data centers.

"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."

The Teradyne Omnyx platform addresses the unique challenges of AI and data center infrastructure testing, where traditional manufacturing defect testing is no longer sufficient. Its comprehensive approach combines structural, parametric, operational, and high-speed interconnect testing to ensure economically scalable manufacturing.
