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.

No matter how advanced your design skills, the chances are you’ll need to spend some time chasing bugs in your boards after they come back from the assembly house. Testing and debugging a PCB ...

The 8-bit microcontroller has been the mainstay of embedded-control systems for nearly 20 years. Several popular architectures are available, the devices are available for a low cost, the instruction ...

Conducting product testing on printed circuit boards (PCBs) has the potential to become costly. Because of this, it’s easy for businesses to view PCB assembly testing as an expense without much value.

The AMC (advanced-mezzanine card) load board suits testing the cooling and power of MicroTCA systems. The load board configures to 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70W wattages. Six LEDs on the front panel ...
