AC-DC Charger IC Test Automation

Automated power product validation using NI LabVIEW, with configurable test cases, flexible testing modes, instrument integration, and automated report generation.

Project Scope

  • An automated way to test and generate test reports.
  • Multiple test cases, each test case having multiple variations of the inputs.
  • Tabulate all test results

Challenge

  • GUI to allow configuration of all input parameters.
  • Upgrade the drivers for old instruments.
  • Generation of reports for different test cases.
  • Provide manual, automatic and semi-automatic testing options.

Solution

  • Development of ATE to validate the product using
    • NI USB TC for thermocouple.
    • Agilent E Load box.
    • Keysight DMM.
    • Yokogawa power analyser.
    • Croma AC power supply.
    • Tektronix Scope.
  • LabVIEW Software architecture to validate the power products.
  • Modular, reusable software design approach.
