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 ...

Integration enables companies to prepare designs and implement robust test strategies early in the PCB assembly manufacturing process, enabling earlier defect detection, reduced costs, accelerated ...

In-circuit test (ICT) systems have been the leaders in using electrical means to look for structural defects in PCBs. They employ bed-of-nails fixtures to provide electrical access to as many as 7000 ...

Test engineers have a variety of options for testing printed-circuit boards—ranging from in-circuit testers to the latest in embedded-instrument technology. Despite the decline of PCB physical access ...

For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.

Board-test vendors CheckSum, Seica, and Digitaltest were on hand in an effort to grab business from ATE powerhouses Agilent Technologies and Teradyne. CheckSum (www.checksum.com) introduced two new in ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...
