System Level Testing

 

ESD Susceptible Components

RMV leadership provides test and evaluation for components, assemblies and market ready products (above the technician level) including device testing and  troubleshooting for device failures.  Moreover, we also provide recommendations for solutions to our customers.

        1.  Basic System Level Testing to IEC 61000-4-2 (or your requirements) for Pass/Fail Lab Testing

        2.  Basic System Level Testing at each Test Point or Test to the Failure Level or Pre-Determined Level

             above  the Standard Test Level.

        3.  We can also test at each point if the Standard Test is passed.

ESD Sensitive Devices may include

        1.  MOSFET transistors 

        2.  CMOS ICs (chips), integrated circuits built with MOSFETS

        3.   Computer Cards

        4.   LEDs (Light-emitting diodes)

        5.  Resistors (High precision)


Power L.E.D.s for Illumination Testing

         1.    ESD Testing to both device and system level standards to customer's requirements

         2.    Evaluation of the effect that drive circuits have on L.E.D. ESD survivability

         3.    Custom tests developed on request

         4.   Testing L.E.D. assemblies for Electrical Fast Transient and lightning survivability

         5.    Industry Standard Tests to a customer requirements

         6.   Custom tests developed upon request

         7.   Custom tests developed to meet the environment your products are used in

         8.   Improved assembly reliability over just meeting standard tests

         9.   Lower field problems and increase profit

        10.  Lower product legal risk

        11.  Counterfeit part determination and evaluation

RMV Technology Group has a built an international reputation in a diversified Industry Sector due to the practical and solutions driven technological expertise of our scientific and engineering staff of talent that have the capability to adapt and reliably defend test methods that are out of the box and do not fit within Industry parameters of current test methods.  Due to the increased sophistication and densification of components, a parallel increase of ESD susceptibility becomes an inherent byproduct of our innovation.  With the utilization of the most sophisticated test equipment with real time software, our technology driven  focus works to the advantage of our customer in test and evaluation, troubleshooting and resolution of issues that may take much longer to solve without our focused and solutions driven support.  Our practical approach to bring an idea or concept to a tangible solution has placed RMV in the unique position to work with Industry in a more holistic approach to solve problems without additional costs to the customer for defensible solutions.


Some of the testing that can also be done by RMV

  • System Level Testing with different Simulators to compare one standard against another standard
  • Comparison of competitor Products for ESD integrity 
  • Expert Witness Consulting
  • ESD Simulation of product testing in harsh environments vs. chamber testing
Technical Tidbit - March 2011
Using High Frequency Measurement of ESD Current to Find Problems with an ESD Simulator

This month's Technical Tidbit describes a relatively common problem with ESD simulators, a defective discharge relay causing problems in the discharge current waveform.

Abstract: ESD Simulators, as with all equipment, can exhibit degraded performance. A short video is presented of sequential measurements of the contact discharge current of an ESD simulator that shows unacceptable variation from one discharge to the next. Possible causes are discussed for the example presented and recommendations are made.
