Robotic Impedance Test System ~
RITS500s

Dedicated for PCB manufacturers testing coupons in high volume. 
Self verifying at the probe tip, the RITS500s is a cost effective alternative to manual TDR testing.

High speed PCBs require accurate controlled impedance traces to operate reliably.

The RITS500s features
 28, 50, 75 and 100 Ohm integral airline references for automatic self-verification.

   

 

 

 

 

Automatic Impedance Measurement

Automatic verification at the probe tip
Designed especially for PCB manufacturers
Excellent R&R
Ideal for coupon test
Fast test times

Automating impedance testing allows a high degree of measurement repeatability essential when tolerances are very tight. This repeatability is ensured as the RITS measurement system self verifies automatically to an internal standard every few minutes.

Air lines are the definitive standard for impedance calibration. Polar Instruments uses 30cm 28 Ohm, 50 Ohm, 75 Ohm and 100 Ohm air lines as reference standards. Our factory lines are traceable to NIST or NPL. 

Airlines are included on the test table to facilitate closed loop verification — the RITS regularly checks the lines to check the overall measurement accuracy is within specified limits.

The RITS500s is able to place the IP series controlled impedance test head probes with a high degree of accuracy — RITS minimum step resolution of just half a mil (0.0005") ensures accurate placement on the finest of land patterns.

RAMBUS™  RIMM module test

You can use the RITS500s as a turn-key solution for volume test of Rambus RIMM pcbs and continuity modules. 

To produce Rambus PCBs with high yields you will need to control impedance more tightly than ever before. The increased memory speeds of the Rambus channel PC motherboards and memory components indicate that with current specifications it is essential to test impedance to a tolerance of ±2.8 ohms.

The RITS500s includes industry standard Polar CITS Controlled impedance measurement technology in its latest revision which includes multi point calibration. For Rambus applications the RITS500s is calibrated with a bespoke 28 Ohm air line.
