Linear and Power Management Solutions

Linear and Power Management devices require a mix of low and higher power VI's, digital control and time measurement. This market is a good candidate for parallel test as volumes and packages favor multi-site cost models. Test times are typically short yet integration and lack of advanced analog DFT challenge MCM and SIP products.

KVD have a solid range of instruments that address today's test challenges:

• VI's for power supplies, dynamic loads, bias pins, and power
• 24 bit voltmeters for very accurate measurements : Vref, Vbandgap, Vout, Vbias / Ground trimming
• Digital pins for I2C, SMbus, SPIbus, 1 and 2 wire interfaces, servo trim, clocking and register control
• Timing access via the digital or directly for switch time, frequency, prop delay, rise and fall time

• Analog ground sense per instrument so you can have ground planes and resources per site
• Simple C++ code where single and multi-site programs are the same - no need for conversions
• Software tools that show per site debugging
• Statistical data analysis tools per site to help with site to site correlation
• FPGA per card to manage multi-site, triggers, sampling etc.
