July 2025 Testing Summary

Introduction

At Global ETS, our mission is to help the electronic component industry safeguard their supply chains with trusted and comprehensive independent component testing. Each month, we analyze the results from our labs to provide a snapshot of what’s happening across the market. Let’s see what July brought us.

Top Manufacturers Tested

Texas Instruments (5.35%) led all manufacturers this month, reflecting its wide use across multiple applications. Analog Devices (4.74%) followed, maintaining a strong presence in analog and mixed-signal spaces. Xilinx (4.50%) remained a major contributor, though slightly below its lead position last month. Micron Technology (3.65%) entered the top list, showing demand for memory components. Altera (3.41%) rounded out the top five, keeping programmable logic devices in the spotlight.

Component Pass Rate

The overall pass rate for July was 92.14%. Slightly lower than June’s 94.87%, this result underscores the ongoing need for proactive, independent testing to identify nonconforming or counterfeit parts before they reach production.

Most Tested Device Types

The most tested parts this month were FPGAs (6.55%), which continue to be a top target because of their high value and flexibility. Amplifiers (4.61%) followed, reflecting the importance of verifying analog performance. Flash memory (4.37%) stayed in the mix as storage remains critical across applications. Also making the top five were Connectors (4.25%) and Switches (3.88%), showing that even basic hardware is being checked to confirm it’s genuine and up to specifications.

Testing Methods Used

Visual inspection (18.46%) continued to be the most common test method, serving as a low-cost way for identifying suspect parts. Electrical testing, used for functional verification, also kept its spot at number two coming in at 16.66%. X-ray (15.53%) rounded out the top three, revealing internal structures and assembly integrity. Together, these methods form a reliable, layered approach to authentication and are all used within the AS6171 standard.
