Overview
Description
Renesas offers a production test and programming unit that enables you to reduce the time to ramp up at a lower cost. The Connectivity Production Line Tool (PLT) is a flexible platform that helps to increase throughput in volume test and programming of units centered around Renesas Connectivity ICs.
The Connectivity PLT is designed to test, calibrate, and perform memory operations for multiple devices under test (DUTs) in parallel. Up to four PLT boards, each with eight test sites, can be daisy-chained to support 32 simultaneous test sites.
Features
- Up to 32 parallel programming and testing
- Flexibility in programming OTP/Flash/eFlash
- Ease of integration: CLI tool included
- Modular approach: Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE), Wi-Fi, DECT
- Included tests:
- Xtal trimming
- Sensor test
- GPIO test
- RSSI test
- Current measurement
- Many more
- Customizable test steps
