Short circuits or broken pcb tracks can be easily recognized by means of a Multimeter, but this tool can give wrong results when testing the efficiency of a transistor or diode, unless the device ...

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

Teradyne announces that it will unveil a new in-circuit test system (ICT) and pin cards at Productronica 2007 Teradyne announces that it will unveil a new in-circuit test system (ICT) and pin cards at ...

Dealing with old technology can raise interesting challenges. Whereas modern programmable devices can easily be tested in circuit via JTAG or SPI interfaces, older devices do not have this convenience ...

In-circuit testers rely on bed-of-nails-type fixtures that give the tester access to every node (or net) of the printed circuit board (PCB). Using this access, the tester takes a divide-and-conquer ...
