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 ...

A printed circuit board turns separate parts into a stable system that powers up, talks to peripherals, and survives real ...

Production test of a finished electronic product often involves two techniques: in-circuit test (ICT) and functional component test (FCT). The ICT technique examines a non-powered circuit board to ...

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

Because in-circuit testers and MDAs test components individually, a PCB assembly can pass an in-circuit or MDA test and still not function properly. The problem might be an interaction between ...

Electronics: Analog circuits, like voltage-controlled oscillators, amplifiers, filters, and power supplies, and their components, like resonators and inductors, involve phenomena where impedance ...

Modern printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) are designed to support increasingly complex applications in industries such as telecommunications, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial ...

When first learning about and building electronic circuits, the first things all of us come across are passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. These have easily ...

Conventional testing of electronic connections calls for mechanical pulling and shearing. Outlined herein is a new non-contact, non-destructive technique using lasers to test bond integrity. The ...

Hu, of the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering, has researched a way to print circuits on paper, the main impact of which could be a decrease in cost and an increase in ...
