PTPR & CVPD Test Profile

Definitions:

Pin-to-Pin Resistance and Clampdown Voltage of Protective Diode testing, or PTPR/CVPD, is a preferred testing option for high pin count and complex
components where set-up for functional testing can be prohibitively long and expensive.

* Fast Set-up & Programming Time
* Fast Test Cycle Time
* Low Price
* High Degree of Reliability

Complete Testing Profile includes:

* Pin-to-Pin Resistance Test
* Clamp-down Voltage of Protective Diodes
* Decapsulation Analysis (recommended)
* Golden Sample Comparison(recommended)

The #1 Cause of Component Failure is Opens and Shorts Caused by Overvoltage and Damaged Hardware. PTPR/CVPD Catches It.

Clampdown Voltage Protection Diode (CVPD) testing includes:

* Continuity (Pin Opens & Shorts)
* Damaged Protection Diodes
* Misalignment & Disoriented Dice/Lead Frame
* Internal circuitry damage

Pin-to-Pin Resistance (PTPR) testing:

* Adjacent pin shorts

* Opens between ground pins

* Resistance between two pins will be measured

* Identifies the #1 Cause of Component Failure

Notes: PTPR/CVPD test is the step between simple curve trace and functional or parametric testing on complex devices where set-up time and cost may be prohibitive. And this test covered all of the pins whereas CT targets only a limited number of pins.
