of DVT as part of the lifecycle model defined in LCM-000001.

2. Scope

These procedures and regulations are applicable to DVT of all Source Photonics
products sold as finished goods (FG). This applies to optics sub-assemblies as
well as integrated transceivers. Sub-modules e.g. BOSA/TOSA/ROSA etc. that

DVT is a qualification step that fully examines the performance of a new product
or design with respect to the Product Requirement Definition (PRD). According
to Source Photonics lifecycle model: LCM-000001, a passing D

defined by internal and external requirements. The DVT qualification will identify
any non-compliant performance and the testing will iterate until
resolved.

current customer and industry requirements. The NPIE DVT team shall a

PRD is required.

5.1.2. The DVT can be initiated in one of two ways:

• via QR: the PD engineer (or an appointed PMG) shall submit a QR file to the
DVT team via the NPIE Intranet. The QR file must describe the curren

Agile system. The CAP will contain a PRD-A which outlines th

• PD/PMG/PLM shall co-ordinate to submit only one request per part number. If
both a standard part and customized part are needed simultaneously, the CAP#
shall be made clear in the QR request of the standard part.

(e.g. laser vendor, critical driver IC’s) , TUV shall be notified for the necessity of
re-evaluating current certificates.

5.3. DVT Report and DVT Review

5.3.1. The DVT engineer will write both an internal DVT Report (spreadsheet
file with detailed data) and DVT summary report (for cu
engineer will self-review the test data and highlight any result that sh
following issues:

• fails to meet assembly or quality standards.

• fails to meet the PRD (disqualified items entered into a DIVE file).

• meets the PRD but has small margin to the specification.

5.4. Resolution of DVT Disqualified Items

5.4.1. All disqualified items found during DVT testing shall be consolidated into
a DVT Disqua lified Items Follo w-u p Record (DIVE). The DIVE sh all reco rd th
item number, disqualified sample sum, disqualified items and detailed description
as to the testing environment. Test data, eye diagrams and screen captures can
be provided as supporting evidence of disqualification repeatability. The DIVE file

5.4.5. If the disqualified items cannot be corrected in a short period of time for
special reasons, the DIVE can be temporarily closed after the approval of DVT
manager. The disqualified items must be clearly communicated to the XDL and
PLM and they must accept the issues in the design.

5.5. DVT samples must be kept on hand until testing is completed and the DVT
report and final review are completed. In general, DVT samples sh
given away to customers or for other needs.
