Audio Test Board for SoC Tester

19 August 2024 - In the fiercely competitive consumer electronics market, high-end audio products like wireless headphones, TWS earbuds, multi-channel gaming headsets, and wireless speakers are powerful drivers of innovation and growth. As competition heats up in the mid to low-end segments, manufacturers are packing their products with advanced features. High-bitrate codecs, low power consumption, smart charging, smart noise cancellation, multi-microphone calling, health tracking - everything to stand out and stay competitive.

But with so much cutting-edge tech packed into each and every device, traditional testing methods are struggling to keep up. Traditional System-on-Chip (SOC) testers face technical bottlenecks and prohibitive measurement costs when testing advanced audio quality metrics like signal-to-noise ratio, harmonic distortion, and dynamic range. To address these industry-wide challenges, Chroma is now introducing the revolutionary MXADO Mixed-Signal Module Board.

Specifically engineered to improve both quality and efficiency of audio test, the MXADO enhances Chroma's 3380 Series of SOC testers to enable accurate measurement of an array of audio performance indicators. By leveraging the MXADO's game-changing capabilities, manufacturers can now conduct a wider range of product tests with unmatched cost-effectiveness and precision, ensuring their competitive edge in this cutthroat market.
