The importance of properly integrating test points into a PCB design. Test-point deployment considerations. When it comes to creating a modern electronic design, we live in both the best and the worst ...

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 ...

Loaded board testing pays for itself by reducing field returns and bone-pile scrap. You seldom read an article about PCBs or semiconductors without encountering test-related phrases and acronyms. Cost ...

With numerous editions of Productronica behind it, EIIT — a Controlar company — will present its renewed series of in-line ...

[Hans Summers] runs a site qrp-labs.com, selling self-assembly kits mostly for radio gear and GPS applications, and had some production problems with his QCX-mini QRP transceiver kit. They were using ...

Supposing you were in the market for a prototype of a circuit board here in 2013 – what kind of process would you have to go through to get one? Certainly one that'd require one whole heck of a lot ...

Since the introduction of in-circuit test (ICT) more than three decades ago, manufacturers of printed-circuit boards (PCBs) have debated whether overdriving devices during test can damage them.
