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.

There are many misunderstandings regarding how the type of manufacturing technology used in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) relates to automated test. To dispel some of the confusion, it ...

It’s inevitable. Basic electronic technology evolves. Chips and circuit boards are designed and made differently today than they were 10 years or even five years ago. It stands to reason that the ...

The advanced microarchitecture and high interconnect speeds on circuit boards designed around the Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series (codenamed Nehalem) present design validation and test challenges for ...
