Electrical Validation
Electrical validation for hardware development, test, and debug — from a single eye diagram to a full compliance certification run.
Request a QuoteCompliance, Characterization, and Debug
Component-level and board-level electrical characterization for the standards and protocols that ship modern products — USB, SATA, HDMI, I2C, and Ethernet. We actively work with the standard groups to stay current with testing requirements.
Alongside formal compliance runs, we offer pretesting, debugging, and validation across electrical, protocol, interoperability, and power measurements. The same lab that certifies your final product can help you find the signal-integrity issue a week before tape-out.
- USB-IF and SATA-IO Authorized Test Lab (ATL)
- EU Conformity (IEC 62680) testing
- HDMI electrical validation with partner ATC for logo certification
- Ethernet and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) electrical validation
- S-parameter and TDR analysis, 300 kHz to 20 GHz
- Pretest & debug support throughout your development cycle

Instrumentation & Measurement
A calibrated bench of oscilloscopes, analyzers, generators, and power meters — the foundation for every certification run and debug session.
Oscilloscopes
High-bandwidth scopes for signal integrity, jitter, and timing analysis across modern serial standards.
Network & Protocol Analyzers
VNAs for S-parameter measurement and protocol analyzers for USB, Power Delivery, SATA, Ethernet, and HDMI transactions.
Signal Generators & BERT
Pattern generators and BERTs for stressed-eye test, jitter injection, and receiver validation for multi-gigabit rates.
S-Parameter & TDR Analysis
VNA-based S-parameter characterization and time-domain reflectometry across a wide frequency range — with or without temperature elevation. The right view of your signal path from the connector through the board, through the cable, and back.
- Signal integrity analysis
- Modal analysis
- Materials measurements
- Reflection & transmission analysis
- Frequency range: 300 kHz to 20 GHz
- Temperature-elevated VNA measurements
