Having a hard time designing your tester?Designing and conceptualizing an ATE is not an easy task.Here are some points and steps you may consider in designing your own automated test equipment (ATE) that will fit your needs.Test Coverage:List down all the existing power supply, newly develop power supply and the future projects with the following needed information:• Input Power requirement: for input source, you have to plan what input source you may need to cover all input requirement for all the your product lines. • Output power requirement: number of loads you need to consider, this will range from the high power range to low power range. • Number of outputs and signals: this is very critical since you have to plan for the standard mux allocation. For this, more mux allocation the better. • Control switches: review each test requirement for each of the product for all the test that requires relay or switches. You have to be very careful in planning this out. This will be use on how many general purpose switches or relay you will install in your ATE. You can check also new test methodology that might be possible test for the new products.From the list, you should accomplish the following information:• You will have an idea on what input source your going to use to cover all power supply you’re about to test. • You will have an idea on how many load modules you need to install to cover high power multiple outputs power supplies. You will also need to add low current load module for lower current outputs. • You will have idea on how many muxes and switches your going to use.Test Interface PanelYou need to consider the test interface your going to… Continue reading
