Example Filled Template

Test Program Release Notes - PMIC88_FT_v3.4.0

Release Summary

Device: PMIC-88
Insertion: Final Test
Tester: UltraFlex
Owner: Product Test Engineering

Change Details

  • Tightened standby current limit from 14 uA to 12 uA.
  • Added bin 23 for VREF trim timeout.
  • Updated pattern adc_bist_p07 to remove unused settling cycle.

Validation Results

Check Result
Golden unit correlation 30/30 pass
Lot correlation +0.08% yield delta
GRR for standby current 6.2%

Deployment Plan

Run pilot on lot FT26-044 before MES release to all final test cells.

Rollback

Rollback to PMIC88_FT_v3.3.2 if yield delta exceeds -0.5% over two consecutive lots.
