ANDK CCP Socket how to meet RTC IC test?

Ultra-Low Power Medical Real-Time Clock (RTC) is a specialized real-time clock chip designed for medical devices, featuring extremely low power consumption. These RTCs play a crucial role in medical equipment by ensuring precise and reliable timekeeping and management. Here are some key points regarding such RTCs and their related test sockets:

Role of Ultra-Low Power Medical RTC

• Time Management: Provides accurate time and date information, which is critical for timestamping data records (e.g., patient monitoring data, medication management).
• Low Power Consumption: Designed to operate with extremely low power, making them suitable for battery-powered portable or implantable medical devices, thereby extending device lifespan.
• Reliability: Maintains high reliability and stability under various environmental conditions, ensuring the accuracy of timekeeping.
• Alarm Function: Supports timed alarm functions for reminders or triggering specific actions (e.g., medication reminders, monitoring cycles).

Requirements for Crystal Oscillators in Aging and Test Sockets To ensure the performance of ultra-low power medical RTCs, the crystal oscillators used must undergo stringent aging and testing. Here are some requirements for crystal oscillators regarding aging and test sockets:

• Accuracy and Stability: Crystal oscillators need to maintain high accuracy and stability during aging and testing to ensure the final product’s time precision.
• Low Power: The test equipment itself should have low power characteristics to better simulate the actual usage environment.
• Temperature Stability: Testing must be performed across different temperature ranges to ensure the stability of the crystal oscillator under various temperature conditions.
• Reliable Contact: Test sockets must provide stable and reliable electrical contact to avoid signal distortion or inaccurate test results due to poor contact.
• Repeatability and Durability: Test sockets must be capable of repeated use while maintaining consistent test results and performance even after multiple insertions and removals.
