Exhibits
XDAC is a precision multi-channel Source Measure Unit for semiconductor characterization and automated testing. Mini ATE is mixed-signal automated test equipment that integrates analog force and measure directly into digital test vectors. XSOM is a compact system-on-module photonic IC driver for controlling TOPS, biasing photodiodes and dedicated laser/TEC functions. XEIC is a compact digital IC that unifies multi-channel DAC/ADC control through a single SPI interface to simplify high-density photonic and electronic test systems. Channel configurations include 8 Channels, 40 Channels and 120 Channels, allowing the signal configuration to be selected for the application. The unipolar output configuration uses a single-polarity signal for stable and precise output within a defined voltage range and is intended for applications requiring consistent, controlled signal generation. The bipolar output configuration supports both positive and negative voltage ranges for flexible bidirectional signal generation. Nicslab Hardware as a Service adds a delivery model for advanced semiconductor testing equipment that includes engineering support, maintenance and future upgrades without requiring upfront equipment investment. Application coverage includes precision measurement for photonic IC development, semiconductor testing across the device lifecycle, AI-hardware validation and low-noise instrumentation for quantum technologies. XEIC is also presented as an ASIC IP block for photonic systems, placing its multi-channel DAC/ADC control function within Nicslab's photonic-system electronics portfolio. The channel-selection options of 8 Channels, 40 Channels and 120 Channels are paired with selectable signal configurations so the channel count and output polarity can be matched to the application. For photonics, the product set supports precision measurement during photonic IC development, while the semiconductor application area covers accurate testing across the semiconductor lifecycle. For AI Hardware, Nicslab provides validation tools for next-generation AI systems, and for Quantum applications the portfolio includes low-noise instrumentation. Customer feedback on the platform highlights real-time voltage display alongside set values, ribbon-cable connections for fast board swapping and full Python compatibility. The product architecture therefore spans source-measure capability, mixed-signal automated testing, photonic-IC drive functions, digital multi-channel control and software-compatible measurement workflows.
