Switch Matrices

Every automatic test system (ATE) uses one or more switch matrices to route signals between the test equipment and the UUT. A switch matrix allows multiple measurements to be made, 1) with a single connection, and 2) automatically. The switch matrix can also provide signal conditioning for the test system.

Since both the stimulus and response signals must pass through the switch matrix, the characteristics of the matrix signal paths directly affect the accuracy and integrity of all measurements. It is impossible to design a switch matrix that does not degrade the signal. However, the switch matrix can be optimized for a specific application, thereby minimizing signal degradation for the principal operating condition in that application.

System Integration

Scenariotek has vast experience designing and building custom Test Systems as well as integrating a customer’s unique appartus into a fully fiunctional, compact test system.

The system shown at left is before the Senariotek integration process. The one at right is after. Click on the images to see larger versions.

SenarioTek’s full service hardware integration includes:

• Complete integration of the ATE system
• Clear, accurate documentation of the system integration
• Full testing of the system
• Crating and shipping of the fully-tested system directly to your customer
