Learn about key strategies for testing a PCB design at the system and component level, including the effective deployment of test points. The importance of properly integrating test points into a PCB ...

The latest in advanced electronics requires space-saving, low-cost methods for connecting and testing circuitry. Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test ...

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 ...

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, ...
