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 ...

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.

Design for manufacturing (DFM) has become a proactive part of the design process, but the same cannot be said for DFT. Whereas “left-shifting” DFM has reduced manufacturing problems, increased yield, ...

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 ...

A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

Join us on Wednesday, December 15 at noon Pacific for the Design for Test Hack Chat with Duncan Lowder! If your project is at the breadboard phase, or even if you’ve moved to a PCB prototype, it’s ...

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 ...

Every switch-mode power supply presents a wide-band noise source. Integrating a DC/DC converter from the car board net into an automotive control unit and still fulfilling the EMC requirements of ...

Ever since the earliest semiconductor devices, silicon health has been a concern. Systems manufacturers wanted to be sure that their chips worked properly before being soldered onto printed circuit ...
