EVT, DVT, and PVT are often seen as lengthy hurdles, yet they form the backbone of reliable hardware product development. Each phase systematically reduces risk, validates performance, and ensures manufacturability—transforming early concepts into market-ready products. At Axio Electronics, we follow a rigorous validation path to guarantee that every device not only works but thrives in real-world conditions.
Engineering Validation Test (EVT) - Functional Prototype Bring-up- Power, Clock, Reset Verification - Sensor & Peripheral Testing - Core Feature Validation
Design Validation Test (DVT) - Full Spec Compliance Testing - Environmental & Reliability Stress Tests - Certification & Pre-Compliance (FCC/CE/EMC) - Firmware & Hardware Integration Validation
Production Validation Test (PVT) - Pilot Production Run (100–500 units) - Assembly Line Test Jig Implementation - Yield Analysis & Process Optimization - Mass Production Readiness & QA
EVT ,DVT ,PVT is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline the development and testing process for hardware products. It offers a range of features that help developers catch defects early, ensure quality, and deliver reliable products to customers.
- Risk Reduction: Catch defects before they scale.
- Quality Assurance: Meet performance targets in all conditions.
- Scalability: Ensure manufacturing is cost-effective and repeatable.
- Customer Confidence: Deliver safe, reliable, and certified hardware.
