ETS-800

Next-generation Automotive Test Platform with the Industry’s Highest Throughput and Fastest Time to Market

The ETS-800 is designed with comprehensive functional test coverage including extensive analog and digital capability and provides automotive-level test quality. Its unique APEX architecture minimizes DIB complexity, reducing time from project start to production release and enabling high site count to ensure sustainable high throughput.

Advantages

Scalable Site Count

  • Unique Multi-sector Architecture
    • Enables near-zero effort program scalability to high site count.
    • Supports up to four sectors, typically configured in a symmetrical fashion to enable site count scalability up to 1024 total sites.
  • Fast and easy capacity expansion when device volumes increase with support for a wide range of site counts and easy upgradeability to higher site counts

Highest Throughput

  • Fast PCIexpress communication infrastructure, optimized API’s and extensive test time profiling tools result in the shortest test times in the industry
  • Multi-sector Architecture delivers high parallel test efficiency with no effort from the test engineer
  • The largest applications space available, plus the APEX architecture’s integrated matrices & muxes enables maximum site count.

Fastest Time to Market

  • Mature, stable & powerful EV-MST Software enables test engineers to develop test programs efficiently.
  • Multi-sector Architecture allows engineers to focus on single or low site count program development and scale to a high site count program with near-zero effort. High parallel test efficiency is achieved automatically.
  • The APEX architecture reduces relays by an order of magnitude, enabling simpler dibs, higher site count and shorter development times.

Automotive-level Test Quality

  • Precision instrumentation and conservative, guaranteed specifications deliver stable results that are repeatable from tester to tester and device to device.
  • Comprehensive, integrated alarm infrastructure ensures every device pin receives the intended stimulus.

Applications

Industrial Power Management

  • Smart power stages, low dropout regulators, DC-DC converters, voltage regulators, boost regulators, mult-phase PWMs, battery chargers, hot swap power managers, gate drivers

Precision Analog

  • Op amps, instrument amplifiers, video amplifiers, audio amplifiers

Automotive Analog

  • BMS monitors, fuel injectors, ABS controllers, airbag controllers, automotive smart switches, CAN transceivers, motor drivers

Mobility

  • USB chargers, wireless chargers, PMICs

Configurations

The ETS-800 test platform is designed with a unique Multi-sector Architecture making the system inherently scalable in terms of site count, with up to 1024 total sites. The system supports up to four sectors and each sector represents a complete mixed-signal multisite test system capable of testing a wide variety of products.

Production systems are controlled via a single multi-core test computer and may be populated with one, two, or four sectors based on the desired maximum site count.  Engineering systems support simultaneous, independent multi-engineer development.

Software

The ETS software development environment and tool set are truly one of the strongest attributes of the ETS-800 test system. The software tools are easy to learn and use, and are fully integrated into the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. The complete test system command set is supported with automatic code generation tools (ACE™ and GrACE™). This means that users are not required to memorize command arguments and syntax. Graphical plotting tools are provided for simple point-and-click plotting of test-oriented waveforms. RAIDE™ (Rapid Access Interactive Debug Environment) makes it easy to view and change tester hardware settings.

In addition to native MST development tools a comprehensive portfolio of productivity tools – designed for applications engineers, by applications engineers, are available to enable efficient program development.

ETS-800 software provides a robust test development environment, offering customers an easy learning curve and uncommon productivity. With Multi-sector technology, EV-MST allows users to replicate test programs across multiple test head sectors.
