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 ...

Test engineers struggle to find the optimum balance between printed-circuit-board (PCB) cost and test coverage. Low coverage leads to excessive field returns, warranty replacements, and even lawsuits.

Abstract: This paper presents a hybrid sensorless In-Circuit Tester (ICT) design by combining the features of Flying Probe Testing (FPT) and the capabilities of a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM).

[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 ...

Abstract: This study revisits the reliability test for printed circuit board (PCB) Conductive Anode Filament (CAF) reliability under high humidity and temperature. However, the suggested test coupons ...

Meanwhile, a compact board will have more wattage to dissipate per unit area. The power supplies are spread around the board with dedicated regulators assigned to each chip even when the voltage ...
