A full electronics bench, without buying one
The instruments you need a few times per product cost more than most prototype budgets. Ours are calibrated to the job, set up and operated by engineers who use them every day.
| Capability | Range and detail |
|---|---|
| Time-domain measurement | Oscilloscopes up to 400 MHz bandwidth, high-voltage differential and current probes |
| Power conversion | Efficiency maps, switching waveforms, dead-time, loss and transient analysis |
| Supplies and loads | Programmable DC supplies and electronic loads for line, load and battery testing |
| Thermal | Radiometric thermal imaging for hot spots and temperature rise under load |
| Digital debug | SWD/JTAG probes, logic analysis, protocol decoding (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB) |
| Rework | Hot-air and fine-tip rework down to 0402 passives, QFN and fine-pitch QFP; ESD-safe bench |
| EMC pre-compliance | Near-field probing and conducted-emission pre-scans before accredited testing |
| Analysis | SPICE simulation, thermal and loss calculations, tolerance and worst-case analysis |
What happens when your board arrives
The same sequence for every new board, whoever designed it.
Inspection
Visual and magnified inspection of assembly, orientation, solder joints and shorts on power rails before any voltage is applied.
Current-limited power-on
Each rail brought up separately with current limits. Voltages, ripple, start-up sequence and quiescent current recorded.
Function by function
Clocks, reset and programming first, then each interface and peripheral. Every result logged with the capture that proves it.
Stress and report
Load, temperature and supply corners. Thermal images at full load. A written report with the evidence and a change list.
What stays with partners
We do not pretend to do everything in-house. PCB fabrication and machine assembly go to specialised manufacturers we have vetted. Accredited EMC, radio and safety testing is done by notified or accredited laboratories; we prepare the product, attend the tests when useful and handle the fixes. Large-volume production goes to contract manufacturers, with the production package we prepare.
Why the bench matters to a software team
A firmware bug and a hardware fault look identical from the application: the device resets, a sensor returns nonsense, the battery drains. Without an oscilloscope, a current probe and a thermal camera, teams spend weeks changing code to work around an electrical problem. On a bench, the same question usually takes an afternoon.
