A motherboard device (MB) interface board (DIB) configured as universal interface to a family of integrated circuit (IC) devices provides the electrical connectivity to automated test equipment (ATE) and physical mating commonality with an IC device handler for reduced time to market and enhanced economy for design validation and production verification testing. In particular, use of one or more daughter cards (DC) that mount to the MB DIB avoid redesign of the entire DIB assembly for a new IC design. Each DC can be more quickly designed at a lower cost than the entire DIB assembly, enabling replacement of any defective site. The DC increases the available surface area for mounting of support components for the device under test (DUT).
