Ampro offers extended temperature testing of boards

8 August 2007 Test & Measurement

Ampro provides optional extended temperature testing to its customers for most Ampro products.

By testing each unit in production, the extended temperature test verifies that all boards will operate and function at temperatures from -40 to 85°C.

Ampro uses a custom-designed modular card cage system in a state-of-the-art Thermotron environmental chamber to test products over the entire extended temperature range. This leading edge design is fully automated and uses custom-designed test software.

Each Ampro product is fully functionally tested during the entire range of extended temperature operation. Using the custom-designed application user interface, the board's test results are scanned into a database. This data is used for internal quality assurance audits. Customers who require this level of detail may request summarised test results. Each board is integrated with an Ampro MiniModule, which allows consistent controlling and monitoring of each board during the functional test.

All boards are ramped to the specific temperature profile and soaked before power is applied. This ensures that the BIOS properly initialises all hardware and the boards are ready for diagnostic testing. This process distinguishes Ampro from other companies that rely on a single power cycle while testing at extended temperatures. Ampro identifies each board that passes testing with a label that indicates the boards fulfill Ampro's stringent quality standards.
