June 2025 Testing Summary

Introduction

At Global ETS, our focus is to help the electronic component protect their supply chains with thorough and reliable independent component testing. Each month, we analyze the results from our labs to gain an understanding of what’s going on in the supply chain. June’s data gives us another look into the current priorities for electronic component testing and authentication.

Top Manufacturers Tested

In June, Xilinx led all manufacturers with 6.07% of total components tested, jumping back up from last month’s 2.74%. Altera followed with 4.45%, keeping its place as another key player in the programmable logic space. Analog Devices and Intel tied at 3.64%, reflecting the continued presence of analog, mixed-signal, and processor components in the testing stream. Texas Instruments rounded out the list at 3.24%, still a staple name across various applications.

Component Pass Rate

June’s pass rate hit 94.87%, marking one of the highest we've seen in recent months. Independent electronic component testing is the easiest and safest way to secure your supply chain.

Most Tested Device Types

FPGAs once again topped the list, accounting for 7.26% of all devices tested. These components are frequently targeted due to their flexibility and high value. Flash memory followed at 6.05%, and both CPLDs and MCUs came in at 4.44%. CPLDs notably made their first appearance in our top device types, and we will continue to monitor this. They are low-power programmable chips used for simple digital logic functions in embedded and control systems. Programmable devices often require harsher testing standards, especially when sourcing from brokers or open market channels. MOSFETs made up 3.63% of our devices and rounds out the top 5.

Testing Methods Used

Visual inspection remained the most frequently used test method at 18.52%, serving as the first step in identifying suspicious components. Electrical testing came in at 17.24%, confirming that each device operates within its required parameters. Decapsulation and XRF analysis followed at 13.81% and 13.38% respectively, offering insight into the internal die and material composition. A notable mention this month is remarking/chemical analysis at 11.99%, which has never made the top 5 since the start of our testing reports. It is increasingly important in detecting rebranded or refurbished parts—especially those altered to mimic higher-grade components.

Conclusion

As always, Global ETS is committed to delivering the accuracy and clarity you need to make confident sourcing decisions. With advanced testing, global coverage, and real-time data, we help ensure that only verified, high-quality components make it into your products.
