Extended Academic Version for Engineering-Forensic Documentation
The sections below reflect real approaches to testing electronic platforms at factories, in certification laboratories, and during RF calibration. The described procedures do not imply any improper use — this is an academic explanation of the factory test pipeline architecture, allowing understanding of system capabilities at the engineering tool level.
🔹 1. Battery / PMIC Test Suite
A comprehensive set of tests for the power system and DSP/BLE/Wi‑Fi module supply. This module is used to check battery operation, supply stability, and correct PMIC (Power Management IC) function. All operations are performed at the hardware-diagnostic level.
- 1.1 Voltage Sweep Test: measurement cycles of Vmin, Vmax, Vdrop during peak TX packets to check peak load handling.
- 1.2 Current Burst Test: short consumption pulses to test regulator response, absence of brownout, and PLL stability.
- 1.3 High‑power TX Stress Test: checks PA, frequency stability, EMI behavior, and battery response.
- 1.4 Battery Degradation Evaluation: assessment of internal cell resistance (ESR test) to determine battery quality.
🔹 2. Touch-screen & Input Sensor Test Suite
Factory testing of the touchscreen, touch IC, and input system.
- 2.1 Touch Matrix Scan: checks resistance, defect zones, and touch cycle delays.
- 2.2 Noise & Interference Test: scans internal and RF-induced noise.
- 2.3 High‑Frequency Raw Data Mode: transmission of raw data without OS filtering to detect micro-cracks, parasitic capacitances, and edge-touch anomalies.
- 2.4 Edge‑Response Testing: checks sensitivity along the screen perimeter.
🔹 3. Audio Path Factory Test
Testing microphones, audio channels, and MEMS sensors at the DSP level, bypassing iOS/Android HAL.
- 3.1 Raw PCM Capture: pure audio channel without noise cancellation, AGC, or filters to assess baseline noise and MEMS sensitivity.
- 3.2 Multi‑Mic Beamforming Calibration: checks delays, phase shifts, and channel symmetry for multi-microphone devices.
- 3.3 Frequency Sweep Test: generates 20–20,000 Hz signal to verify full microphone range.
🔹 4. GNSS/GPS Test Suite
GNSS testing at the factory/debug level.
- 4.1 Cold Start Test: time to first fix without cached data.
- 4.2 Hot Start Test: uses ephemerides for rapid position acquisition.
- 4.3 Noise Floor Measurement: level of GNSS receiver interference.
- 4.4 NMEA/UBX Raw Mode: evaluation of satellite signal, phase measurement accuracy, and AGPS data quality.
🔹 5. Wi‑Fi PHY Level: Advanced Diagnostics
- 5.1 EVM: measures error between ideal and actual signal.
- 5.2 Frequency Drift Test: frequency stability during transmission.
- 5.3 IQ Imbalance Testing: checks asymmetry between I and Q channels.
- 5.4 RSSI Calibration: accuracy of received signal strength measurement.
- 5.5 Spectrum Mask Test: verifies signal compliance with standards.
🔹 6. Secure Boot / TrustZone / Secure Enclave Diagnostics
- 6.1 Fuse Integrity Test: verifies authenticity of SoC cryptographic fuses.
- 6.2 DIAG Firmware Signature Validation: checks digital signature, certificate, and chain of trust.
- 6.3 Secure Storage Read/Write Test: evaluates behavior of protected memory regions.
- 6.4 TrustZone Boundary Verification: checks isolation between secure and normal worlds.
🔹 7. JTAG / SWD / UART Test Points
Basic engineering interface for DSP/BLE/Wi‑Fi chips. Most boards have hidden test-pads for:
- JTAG — full SoC debugging
- SWD — simplified two-wire debug
- UART — diagnostic console interface
Used for boundary-scan, programming, and comprehensive factory diagnostics. Physically inaccessible to end users.
🔹 8. Boundary Scan Test
IEEE 1149.1 standard for checking board traces and components:
- trace integrity
- short circuits
- open circuits
- parasitic capacitances
- correct passive component connections
🔹 9. Environmental Testing Suite
- 9.1 Temperature Chamber (−40°C … +85°C): tests modules under extreme conditions.
- 9.2 Humidity Testing (up to 90%): board resistance to moisture.
- 9.3 Vibration Test: reliability of BGA chips, flex cables, and solder joints.
- 9.4 Thermal Runaway Monitoring: battery and PMIC behavior under overheating.
- 9.5 Thermal Throttling Pattern Analysis: analysis of frequency reduction under thermal stress.
🔹 10. Advanced RF Test Module
- 10.1 Spectrum Analyzer Sweep: full analysis of BLE/Wi‑Fi signal spectrum.
- 10.2 Noise Floor Characterization: assessment of background interference level.
- 10.3 Spurious Emissions Test: detection of unwanted emissions.
- 10.4 In‑Band / Out‑of‑Band Analysis: compliance verification with FCC/CE standards.
