Faster Testing. Fewer Errors. No Cable Flipping Required.USB-C is everywhere — powering laptops, phones, tablets, monitors, and more. It’s flexible and powerful, but with that comes complexity. If you’re managing production for USB-C devices, the challenge isn’t the port itself. It’s the testing.…

Cut Test Time, Eliminate Errors, and Scale Across Lines — No Cable Flipping RequiredIf you manage production lines for devices with USB-C ports, the real challenge isn’t the port — it’s the testing.A single bad port means a return, a delay, or a hit to your metrics. And catching it after the fact?…

Enhancing Production Efficiency with Batch ICP In device manufacturing, firmware is flashed onto devices using in-circuit programmers (ICPs).  automated batch programming can help remove the ICP bottleneck.  In this application note, we'll look at how to use USB port switching with…

The need for USB-C and power delivery ports in automobiles is speeding up, and the auto industry is adapting to the new demands. As the engineer in charge of testing, you’ll need to up your automated validation testing game. We live in an on-the-go world, and our devices travel with us in our…

Kentigen, one of Acroname's partners supporting the test market in Europe, used MTM to solve a months-old problem of testing final assemblies for an automative infotainment system. Spoiler: Kentigen used MTM's modularized, miniaturized, and low-cost instrumentation as the heart of its system…

Create and Deploy Wireless Test FixturesOne of the benefits of using Acroname's BrainStem/MTM series modules in functional circuit test is being able to create and deploy "wireless" test fixtures - a fixture with no wire-wraps or cables. The small form-factor and low power of MTM modules can be…

Setting up product manufacturing involves many complicated systems and processes. In order to produce millions of devices a month, companies need to massively scale these systems. Yet this scale is in direct conflict with fast product changes and time-to-market for "the next big thing". Major…
