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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 (NasdaqGS:TER) has introduced the Photon 100 opto-electric test platform for silicon photonics and co-packaged ...

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 ...

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 ...
