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 ...

What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...

In the last episode, we put our circuit boards through the reflow process. Unfortunately, it’s not 100% accurate, and there are often problems that can occur that need to be detected and fixed. That’s ...

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 ...

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

Test is becoming increasingly complicated as new technologies such as flexible electronics begin playing mission-critical roles in applications where electronics have little or no history. Although ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

An international high-speed computer chip company will have an easier time moving into a South Whitehall Township office building now that it can legally test circuit boards. The Board of ...
