There are a number of complex tasks involved in the manufacturing of electronic assemblies, all of which can go wrong. In order to ensure quality standards are met, the fabrication of the printed ...

PCBs must survive impact, flexing and thermal cycles so how can mechanical testing be used to test for vulnerabilities?

A next-generation board-test system combines structural, parametric, high-speed interconnect, and functional testing to ...

Teradyne announces Omnyx, a test platform for printed circuit board assemblies engineered to meet the requirements of AI and ...

Printed circuit board testing has been around as long as printed circuit boards, also known as printed circuit assemblies and printed wiring boards. PCB technology started in the early 20th century ...

The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) was formed in mid 1980s to develop a method of verifying designs and testing printed circuit boards after manufacture. Prior to the development of JTAG, testing and ...

Testing and measuring an IC’s or circuit’s performance with regard to power transients is a tricky task to accomplish without some specialized equipment. Not only does the input voltage source need to ...

The 20+ PCBs on board diesel locomotives survive a very tough combination of functional and environmental testing before they leave the roundhouse. Like automobiles, locomotives have become high-tech ...

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 ...

Testing for failure with a multimeter is only partially effective, whereas a dedicated optocoupler testing circuit provides ...
