Reverse Engineering

The emulation process begins with "reverse engineering" the original device. Reverse engineering includes a thorough review of the detailed government document (Standard Military Drawing or slash sheet) or customer's component specification (Source Controlled Drawing) in addition to the original manufacturer's published data. Not only is the functionality measured, but also is every specified electrical parameter of the original device using sophisticated ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) and, when required, traditional instrumentation techniques. The resulting measurements of this original device are reviewed relative to the specification requirements and used as a baseline for the detailed design of the emulation circuit.

HP82000 DIGITAL ATE

  • Up to 72 signal pins
  • 200 MHz test cycle
  • Better than 1ns timing accuracy

MANUAL BENCH TESTING

  • Drift measurements (PPM Specs)
  • "Non-digital" measurements (rise times, max frequency, etc.)
  • Validate any questionable HP measurements
  • Power-up modes

THERMOSTREAM

  • -55 to +125 temperature conditioning and control at DUT
  • Used on both ATE and bench tests
  • All specified parameters measured over full temp range
  • Any additional tests as specified by design engineer
