In the era of AI, cloud computing, and next-generation Data Centers, the need for ultra-fast computing and reliable, stable products is more critical than ever. These environments demand high-speed interfaces like DDR5, PCIe Gen 6, High-Speed Ethernet, SAS, and MCIO to support massive data flow and high-performance operations. As these technologies evolve, R&D teams are face mounting pressure to validate their designs quickly and accurately.
During the product development cycle, engineers go through multiple stages of design verification, from signal simulation and prototype validation to compliance testing. A key part of this process is signal measurement and validation. However, without an appropriate test fixture, even a well-prepared design can encounter setbacks.
Five Disadvantages of Not Using a Proper Fixture
- Unreliable test results due to poor signal integrity
- Increased EMI, crosstalk, and unpredictable measurement noise
- Failure to reproduce results across different setups
- Risk of design misjudgment, leading to costly board re-spins
- Slower development cycles and product launch delays
