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 ...

The limited access afforded to circuit nodes by PCBs densely populated with tiny components seriously challenges traditional PCB test strategies. But while optical and x-ray inspection can help fill ...

The systems have increased test throughput by up to 75% over the original testers. Also, result reporting is easier thanks to a compact database that stores all test data. Lifeline Systems provides ...

Loaded board testing pays for itself by reducing field returns and bone-pile scrap. You seldom read an article about PCBs or semiconductors without encountering test-related phrases and acronyms. Cost ...

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 ...

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 ...
