Electrical Performance Design Evaluation of Integrated Circuits
We perform independent electrical characterisation of analogue integrated circuit components for industry. We have experience characterising IC designs and we are particularly knowledgeable in electrically characterising analogue components. We can electrically measure packaged IC’s. Our capability includes high precision DC measurements and timing measurements of integrated circuit designs across the temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
Electrical characterisation of high precision integrated circuits across its full temperature specification.
Each electrical characterisation project is preceded by the compilation of a comprehensive Characterisation Review plan with the customer. Most projects also require a Device Under Test (DUT) printed circuit board, to optimise the electrical environment and to enable us to measure the true performance of the integrated circuit. Our software environment is generally Labview-based. We’ve developed a large suite of design evaluation software, which can be tuned to your specific measurement requirements and enable us characterise the component optimally.
We have well equipped test and measurement laboratories in which we perform:
- IC design electrical characterisation of re-designed IC’s;
- Electrical evaluation of competing products;
- Application specific compatibility resolution measurements;
- Characterising IC’s outside their normal ‘envelope’ of specified operation;
- Fab process transfer comparative electrical evaluation of IC’s;
- Measurements to facilitate IC re-design for more competitive performance and cost.
Design evaluation performed on a D.U.T. board for high performance measurements.
Products areas of IC’s we characterise:
- Precision Operational Amplifier;
- Interface and Isolation.
