Manufacturing Test Overview#

Note: This section replaces AN718: Manufacturing Test Overview. Further updates to this application note will be provided here.

Most customers have standard product manufacturing test flows, but some do not incorporate RF testing. This document describes the different options for integrating RF testing and characterization into your standard test flows. This application note is intended for Silicon Labs customers who are moving from the early prototype development stage to the manufacturing production environment and need assistance with manufacturing test. The specific target audience is senior manufacturing engineers and manufacturing managers who are investigating test processes for their Silicon Labs-enabled products.

This document summarizes approaches to manufacturing tests for all Silicon Labs protocols and platforms. Additional detail is provided in Manufacturing Test Guidelines for the EFR32 Family.
