We currently offer ICT, FCT and Checksum testing to our customer base. Our ICT system, the Teradyne TS128, gives us a cost-effective, reliable test solution which allows us to directly transfer programs and fixtures from all 228X systems saving our customers thousands of dollars in additional testing development. Unpowered test capabilities for this station include shorts, vectorless opens, and analog value testing. Powered-up test capabilities include digital device vector testing, reduced access boundary scan testing, high-speed FLASH and ISP device programming, frequency and time event measurements, synchronized mixed signal device testing, and functional cluster testing. The current configuration is approximately ¾ loaded at 2048 nets, but can be upgraded to a maximum of 3840 if required.

FCT (Functional Testing), is usually provided by the customer, but completely supported by AESCO in our facility. We work directly with the customer for training, software and process updates, and yield results. This increases our customer’s in-house yields to > 98%, provides real-time feedback to manufacturing, and facilitates dock-to-stock programs with end customers.

One additional option available is our CheckSum Manufacturing Defect Analyzer, a low-cost 400 test point bench top test system integrated with a mechanical-advantage fixture receiver. This provides us the capability to quickly and easily test assemblies for common manufacturing defects such as incorrect, missing or mis-oriented components, and opens and shorts, by quickly and accurately measuring continuity, capacitors, resistors, inductors, voltages, semi-conductor junction voltages, and SMT connections for opens.
