Functional Test Systems

We develop tailored functional test systems and comprehensive test strategies for validation, production and regression testing as part of our electronic and embedded system solutions.

Reliable Solutions with custom automatic test equipment

3T is your trusted partner in the world of functional testing, where precision is extremely important. As technology advances, we are convinced that verifying the reliability of solutions — both our own and our clients — is a complex challenge. That is why we have sharpened our expertise in developing custom automatic test equipment designed with your specific requirements in mind. Our secret? A thorough test plan and a preference for modular systems to ensure efficiency.

Over the years, we have built a solid reputation for crafting modular systems like MDTFs (Mixed-Domain Test and Measurement Framework), MINT, and Octopus, backed by our expertise in software-based tools using TestStand, LabVIEW, and Python for automated test sequences. At 3T, we are committed to elevating your testing game, guaranteeing the reliability and performance of your solutions so you can focus on what you do best.

Modular DUT Test Fixtures

The MDTF is used as in interface to a specific DUT, which enables the test engineer to gain easy access to the power, signal (analog or digital) and communication peripherals of the DUT.

Using a DUT specific backplane and our generic modular interface boards enables the user to perform different measurements, configurations to quickly perform (automated) tests. Most of these tests are performed for prototype verification and DUT qualification.

High-speed test system - MINT

MINT, short for Multi INTerface, is a versatile development tool known for its high-speed solution capabilities. Inside MINT, you'll find an Intel Arria V SoC, a powerful fusion of an FPGA and a Dual-core ARM CortexTM-A9 MPCoreTM. This unique combination harnesses the computing power of an FPGA and the adaptability of software on an ARM-based hard processor system (HPS). All interfaces are readily accessible from both the FPGA and the ARM-based HPS.

Our Capabilities at a Glance

Design Verification

  • Identify and rectify design flaws early in the development process, reducing the likelihood of costly and time-consuming changes later on

  • Timing and precision of the test system should outclass the requirements of the device under test

  • Conducting a variety of tests, simulations, and analyses including physical testing, simulations, and modeling to verify that the design will work under various conditions

Regression Testing

  • Testing complex FPGA/CPU boards using modular test interfaces

  • Unit testing of software blocks: Ensure that existing functionality remains intact

  • System integration: Verify the combination of hardware/software/mechatronics

Quality Control during volume production

  • Functional testing of the product ensuring the correct behavior

  • Ensuring the reliability, safety, and quality of a product
  • Traceability ensures that the test data of each product can be traced back. This is vital for product recalls, quality control, and compliance with industry regulations
Hans van den Elsen, 3T Competence Officer

With three decades of dedicated expertise, we have cultivated an impressive track record in crafting automated test systems that accommodate diverse product development and lifecycle stages.Over this time span, we have witnessed a remarkable evolution in electronics, marked by escalating complexity. Consequently, test systems have undergone a transformation of their own, evolving into complex systems that seamlessly integrate multiple disciplines. In essence, our test systems have become products in their own right, reflective of our commitment to adapt and excel in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
