Solutions

The basic life cycle of any embedded system follows four major stages:

1. Development
2. Verification
3. Production
4. Sales and Support

Total Phase tools provide a unique value proposition in all stages of this cycle due to the unique blend of performance and low cost. This graphic provides an overview of how our tools can help reduce cost, increase efficiency, and improve your return on investment.

Please check back often for the latest application notes, white papers, and demonstration videos.

The development cycle begins with the Design and Development stage where the product features are specified and implemented.

Total Phase tools can help developers with:

• Quick evaluation of component parts
• Rapid prototyping using a PC
  • Simulate master, slave devices
  • Test and refine behavior/algorithm with PC before implementing in firmware
  • Interface and debug partial function subsystems and prototypes
• Facilitate iterative development of firmware and BIOS
• and more...

The Verification and Quality Assurance stage follows to ensure that the developed product meets the feature criteria and operates without fail.

Total Phase tools can help verification and QA engineers with:

• Interface and control test harnesses
• Integrate burn-in and automated test
• and more...

The finished and qualified product then enters the Production stage where units are mass produced, programmed and tested.

Total Phase tools can help production line managers with:

• Efficient burn-in and test
• Reliability and hot-swap capable
• Throughput via parallel operations
• and more...

During the Sales and Support stage, a sales team demonstrates and sells the finish products to the end customer and a technical support team helps the end customer integrate the finish product.

Total Phase tools can help developers with:

• Sales demonstration tools
• Evaluation Kit interface
• Multi-function FAE field kit
• Custom field technician tools
• and more...

To close the cycle, the feedback from the end customers drives the next generations of products and starts the cycle again.
