Testing

Our testing partner offers a wide range of component testing, ranging from a "Basic" level parametric test to, "Verification" of the device to Mil STD 883. Different component types require different types of testing to ensure maximum compatibility. Here's a breakdown of some common component types, and the types of inspections we generally recommend. Of course, we can always tailior our inspection to fit our customers' specific needs as needed. Click the categories below to see details of our testing procedures.

Passive Components:

Level 1 - Primary Characteristic’s Of Device is verified at 25C. This may include the following:

  • Device Value and Tolerance
  • Device Voltage Operating Range
  • Device Frequency Range

Level 2 - Secondary Characteristics or Temperature Testing (70C, 85C or 125C) is included in the testing.

Discrete Components:

Level 1 - 1 to 3 of the Devices Primary Characteristics is verified at 25C. This may include the following:

  • Forward Bias Voltage
  • Reverse  Bias Voltage
  • Breakdown Voltage
  • Threshold Voltage
  • On Resistance
  • Av, hfe, or Gain
  • Imax current or Operating Current

Level 2 – Primary Characteristic Temperature Testing (70C, 85C or 125C) is added to the testing.
Level 3 – Test to the following Mil-Std Subgroups 1, 2, 3, and 4 (optional).  Includes testing at specified temperatures (-55C, -40C, 0C, 25C, 70C, 85C, and 125C)

Simple Analog Components:

Level 1 – 1 to 3 of the Devices Primary Characteristic’s Of Device is verified at 25C. This may include the following:

  • Forward Bias
  • Reverse  Bias
  • Breakdown Voltage

  • On Resistance
  • Av, hfe, or Gain

Level 2 – Testing of Level 1 parameters at Temperature (-55C, -40C, 0C, 25C, 70C, 85C, 125C).
Level 3 - Verification of All DC parameters to Manufactures Specification at 25C.
Level 4 - Verification of All DC parameters (Group A table II) to Manufactures Specification at Temperature (-55C, -40C,0C,70C, 85C, 125C). 

Simple Digital Components:

Level 1 – 1 to 3 of the Devices Primary Characteristic’s Of Device is verified at 25C. This may include the following:

  • VIH/VIL
  • VOH/VOL at specified Load
  • Shutdown or Tri-state
  • Truth Table verification
  • ICC (quiescent or operating)
  • Min/Max Operating Voltage

Level 2 – Testing of Level 1 parameters at Temperature (-55C, -40C, 0C, 25C, 70C, 85C, 125C).
Level 3 - Verification of All DC parameters to Manufactures Specification at 25C.
Level 4 - Verification of All DC parameters (Group A table II) to Manufactures Specification at Temperature (-55C, -40C,0C,70C, 85C, 125C).

Complex Analog or Digital Components:

Level 1 – Pin Correlation
Level 2 – IDCODE Verification

Memory Devices

Level 1 – Pin Correlation
Level 2 – 25C Testing using memory test equipment to verify memory functions of devices.
Level 3 - 25C and 70C (85C or 125C) Testing using memory test equipment to verify memory functions of devices.

FPGA Devices:

Level 1 – Pin Correlation
Level 2 – 25C Testing of FPGA programming (Configuration and Readback) and/or IDCODE Verification.
Level 3 - 25C and 70C (85C or 125C) Testing of FPGA programming (Configuration and Readback) and/or IDCODE Verification.
Level 4 – Speed Grade verification at 70C (85C or 125C). 3 step process below:

  1. Created Design using Altera or Xilinx design software.
  2. Generate Timing analysis and delay calculations of design to specified speed grade.
  3. Test devices against speedgrade generated test limits.

I know we harp on it all the time here at Sensible, but it’s truly good to see more attention getting paid to the issue of counterfeit components in any supply chain  . . . . let alone The U.S. defense and military supply chain. Today, The Washington Post reports: “On Tuesday, lawmakers heard testimony from a [...]
