Pickering Interfaces will showcase its range of industry-standard modular signal switching products for semiconductor electronic test and verification, including PXI switched guard modules, MEMS-based PXI RF multiplexers, and high-density PXI matrix modules in the UK Pavilion at SEMICON Taiwan, which will take place from September 10–12, 2025, at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.
SEMICON Taiwan unites global semiconductor leaders, innovators, and experts to shape the industry's future. Featuring cutting-edge technology discussions and diverse pavilions, the exhibition fosters collaboration and innovation across the entire semiconductor value chain. This year’s exhibition will bring together over 1200 leading semiconductor and technology companies, with over 4100 booths and an expected attendance of over 100,000 industry professionals. Attendees can explore the latest advancements, engage with industry pioneers, and gain insights into the driving forces behind the next wave of technological breakthroughs.
“At Pickering, we provide highly specialized switching solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of semiconductor testing,” said Steve Edwards, Head of Product Management at Pickering. “Our systems support applications such as wafer acceptance testing, high pin-count package validation, and photonics testing, offering precision signal routing, low leakage currents, and scalable architectures. These tools are engineered to integrate seamlessly into complex test environments, ensuring reliable and repeatable results for critical semiconductor applications.”
The company will highlight the following signal switching for semiconductor test in the UK Pavilion at SEMICON Taiwan:
- PXI switched guard multiplexer module (40-590) with ultra-high isolation up to 1012 Ω with Pickering’s high-quality reed relays
- MEMS-based PXI RF multiplexer module (40-878) with 4GHz bandwidth and an operational life of >3 billion operations
- Ultra-high-density PXI reed relay matrix (40-540) with up to 528 crosspoints, offering >109 operations
- High-performance PXI microwave relay module (40-780B) for switching microwave signals to 18 GHz, with failsafe switching
The above modules will be housed in an LXI/USB 4-slot modular chassis (60-105) fully compliant with LXI standard 1.4, which allows 3U PXI switching & simulation modules to be controlled via USB or in an Ethernet LXI environment.
Pickering Group’s reed relay division, Pickering Electronics, will also be on the stand, highlighting its new Series 600 range of high-voltage reed relays, its most customizable high-voltage reed relay range, and other relays designed for semiconductor test.
