ISO-16750-2 Pretest with ASR-2000

The applications of electronic technology products are growing at a fast pace in our daily lives. Other than mobile phones, tablet computers or general consumer electronics, electronic technology products are also utilized in the automotive industry, including LED headlights / taillights, HUD (Head Up Display), adaptive front lighting, tire pressure monitoring system, ABS system, GPS, windshield wiper, AV system, etc. In order to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers as well as driving, vehicle manufacturers are required to have a higher product stability and stricter quality control standards for electronic devices installed in the automobile.

Vehicle driving process is an extremely harsh challenge for electronics manufacturers manufacturing automotive electronics. Rough-road driving, vibration from a piston-engine, electrical systems exposed to low or high temperatures, temporary exposure to unknown chemical mixtures, alternator overvoltage, and momentary drop in supply voltage all may cause the product to malfunction. Therefore, the environmental reliability requirements of automotive electronic products will be more rigorously regulated. At present, the ISO-16750 has been widely adopted and referenced by relevant automotive electronics manufacturers. ISO-16750 contains 5 parts. In addition to ISO-16750-1 General, the rest are ISO-16750-2 Electrical loads, ISO-16750-3 Mechanical loads, ISO-16750-4 Climate loads, and ISO-16750-5 Chemical loads. The sequence mode of ASR-2000 can arbitrarily edit the voltage test waveform, which is very suitable for generating the verification waveform of ISO-16750-2 Electrical loads.

ASR-2000 for the applications of ISO-16750-2 verification items are as follows:

  • Direct current supply voltage
    ASR-2000 provides the maximum / minimum supply voltage to verify the DUT of a full range of 12V power supply system and the 24V power supply system.
  • Overvoltage
    ASR-2000 simulates the occurrence of overvoltage when the generator regulator fails.
  • Superimposed alternating voltage
    The internal resistance parameter requirements of the power supply is not considered. ASR-2000 collocating with a signal generator can simulate power output to have the frequency change from 1 to 999.9Hz.
  • Slow decrease and increase of supply voltage
    ASR-2000 sequence mode can simulate the battery being gradually charged and discharged.
  • Momentary drop in supply voltage
    Setting ASR-2000 power supply voltage to be interrupted instantaneously can simulate the effect caused by the melting of the conventional fuse component in another circuit. ASR-2000 can provide a minimum power interruption output of 100us.

  • Reset behaviour at voltage drop
    ASR-2000 can flexibly set different voltage drop times to test the reset behaviour of the DUT.
  • Starting profile
    The starting profile generated by ASR-2000 can verify the characteristics of the DUT during and after the car ignition.
  • Load dump
    Load dump is generated when the battery powering the generator or inductive component is instantaneously disconnected. If the parameter requirements of the input impedance of the power supply are not considered, editing the ASR-2000's sequence mode can obtain the waveforms of ISO-16750 test A and test B.
  • Reversed voltage
    ASR-2000 reversed output can meet the verification requirements of various automotive electronic products.

C-1100 Multi-Channel ASK/FSK Tester

C-1100 Multi-Channel ASK/FSK Tester

C-1100 is the world’s first first ASK/FSK communications tester and first dedicated professional tester for TPMS automatic production. It provides two signal output channels, including 315/433 MHz and LF 125 kHz and four RF input channels. The tester integrates all production tests for TPMS Sensor/Monitor. Four-channel design, a dedicated PC software and the custom-made adjustment function can increase production efficiency by three folds, and reduce equipment costs by 50%~70%.

C-1100 not only tests RF Tx and Rx but also “ wakes up” device. The C-1100 provides a complete PC software. In addition to the tests required for ASK/FSK, C-1100 also provides production debug analysis during production line testing, FCC, ETSI test specifications, and supports the corresponding LabVIEW program.

Automotive test solution - power supply regulation LV148

With the popularization of automotive electronic products, the five major European car manufacturers: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen have jointly upgraded the power system for cars to 48V, which also gave birth to the LV 148 regulation for automotive power systems. With respect to the LV148 regulation, GW power supplies provide effective verification solutions for R&D and quality assurance units in LED headlights, ECU, wiper motors, power windows, car audio, GPS, chargers and other automotive electronic products.

  • Support Data Logging(option) and .CSV File Exporting

    There are many voltage variation tests in the LV148 evaluation test. ASR-2000 cannot deal with the high-speed voltage variation test of up to 300kHz sine wave specified in the "Superimposed AC Voltage" of E48-05, and can be used with conventional DC stabilized power supplies to handle difficult millisecond-level voltage variation tests*

Automotive test solution - power supply regulation LV148

  • Ideal for software engineers (below 100W)
  • Ideal for circuit designers/experimental researchers/reliability testers (100W~1600W)
Software engineers require that drive control boards and developed products are compatible with the existing 12V and LV148 to ensure that the products operate in a stable manner. The 48V electrical equipment in LV148 includes "pump", "air conditioner", "motor", "heater", "EPS", "inverter" and drive system. The drive power ranges from several hundred watts to several kilowatts or even higher. The PSW series with power up to 1kW and the PSB-L series up to 1.6kW can be used to evaluate many electrical components, including existing 12V products.
