For Panasonic, the key to stabilizing PC quality is to make the quality of the PCB consistent within each computer. With the company's previous test system, engineers used a different type of test instrument for each type of measurement needed in testing the PCB. This required engineers to learn how to use and develop custom test programs for each test instrument. During this process, each new advancement in PCB technology needed a new, more advanced set of test instrumentation and accompanying programs, which demanded significant time and labor expenditures. Additionally, footprint size and power consumption increased as the number of test instruments increased. This cycle of increasing time and cost expenditures necessitated numerous system efficiency improvements.

Faced with these demands for improved efficiency, Panasonic decided to implement NI PXI modular instruments because of the PXI platform's compact chassis, which accommodates a wide selection of modules to add functionality as needed. The engineers integrated their hardware with the LabVIEW and NI TestStand environments because of the environments' flexible, high-performance tools for developing automated test systems with user-friendly programming interfaces. By combining test hardware and software into one system, Panasonic engineers now can maintain test system stability and reliability in accordance with the highest standards. If a problem occurs during testing, it takes engineers less time to identify the source. Additionally, the new system integrates several specialized test instruments into a single system, which reduces its physical footprint by at least 50 percent and significantly decreases its power consumption. All of these factors have led to overall decreases in the total cost of ownership for the Panasonic PCB test system.

"The new suite of mixed-signal PXI instrumentation from National Instruments allows me to import WGL and STIL design vectors to validate digital protocols and critical timing parameters of our IC designs," said David Whitley, evaluation engineer at Analog Devices, Inc. "PXI and LabVIEW provide us a flexible, mixed-signal characterization platform that we use to quickly configure custom tests and lower our overall product development time and evaluation costs."

The NI PXIe-654x family of HSDIO instruments includes four new modules that offer single-ended clock rates up to 200 MHz and data rates up to 400 Mbps, making it possible for engineers to test high-speed chip designs and accommodate faster custom communication protocols. Advanced digital modules in this family include several additional features such as bidirectional communication, real-time bit comparison, double data rate capability, multiple timing delays for different I/O lines and the ability to select from 22 different voltage levels, from 1.2 to 3.3V, for increased digital I/O test flexibility. These new digital I/O devices expand the NI PXI-654x, PXI-655x and PXI-656x series high-speed digital offerings to a total of 10 PXI instruments with single-ended and LVDS voltage capabilities up to 200 MHz.

The new NI PXI-4132 high-precision SMU delivers current sensitivity down to 10 pA for high-resolution current measurements. It features remote (four-wire) sensing and external guarding on a single output to provide up to +/-100 V capability in a single PXI slot. The SMU also offers several other advancements including an onboard hardware sequencing engine for hardware-timed, high-speed curve traces and the ability to trigger and synchronize multiple PXI-4132 SMUs over the PXI backplane. The PXI-4132 complements the existing NI PXI-4130 power SMU, which provides a four-quadrant, 40 W output (+/-20 V, +/-2 A) to deliver high-precision and high-power source measure options for PXI.

The new NI PXI-2515 and NI PXIe-2515 digital switches further enhance the suite of PXI products by helping engineers to multiplex precision DC instrumentation directly onto HSDIO lines connected to the chip under test. The new switches also provide improved signal connectivity for parametric measurements while maintaining signal integrity on high-speed digital edges.

The new NI PXIe-5663E and NI PXIe-5673E 6.6 GHz RF PXI Express vector signal analyzer and vector signal generator offer increased measurement speed through fast and deterministic changes in RF configurations using a new feature called RF List Mode to significantly reduce test time. The new functionality makes it possible for engineers to download preconfigured instrument parameters to rapidly cycle through different RF configurations. This is especially useful when testing power amplifiers and other RFICs that require verifying performance across multiple frequencies. This added functionality can help RF engineers perform multiband RF measurements significantly faster than with traditional instruments.

The PXI Semiconductor Suite also introduces a solution for efficiently importing WGL and STIL digital vector formats to streamline design-to-test integration when using NI PXI high-speed digital products. The result of collaboration between NI and Test Systems Strategies, Inc. (TSSI), the new TSSI TD-Scan for National Instruments software makes it possible for semiconductor test engineers to import WGL and STIL simulation vectors into PXI systems, a task which previously required custom software development. An evaluation version of the WGL/STIL software tool, which supports all NI PXI-654x, PXI-655x and PXI-656x HSDIO series of products, is available through www.ni.com. A full version is available for purchase directly from TSSI.
