What the MAX9967ALCCQ does in an ATE channel
The MAX9967ALCCQ is a dual driver/comparator designed for automatic test equipment (ATE) pin electronics, combining two high-speed signal paths in one package to reduce per-channel board area. Its function is to drive a test stimulus to the device under test and compare the response against a programmed threshold, a core building block in semiconductor test head cards.
This removes the supply-chain risk of a sudden obsolescence-driven redesign for existing ATE platforms. Note the RoHS non-compliant marking — the part contains lead in the solder finish or die-attach. Buyers with RoHS-exempt or military/industrial BOMs can proceed; those requiring full RoHS compliance will need an alternative or a waiver review.
Sourcing the MAX9967ALCCQ through independent distribution
Lead time depends on Analog Devices' factory backlog and the requested volume; a typical procurement cycle runs several weeks from order placement.
