Aimed at engineering benches where the use of conventional fixtures can be too costly, PCB test-fixture kits from Merifix enable engineers to replace unreliable, makeshift lash-ups with proper ...

As test targets shrink, the benefits of socketless probing technology grow. As technology advances, more and more electronic components that do bigger and better things are hitting the market. At the ...

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 ...

Folks from [Adafruit] are showing off a neat hack – USB host on RP2040, using the now-famous PIO peripheral. [Adafruit] builds a lot of RP2040 boards, and naturally, you gotta test them before you ...

[Elliot] (no relation, but hey, cool name!) wrote in with his OpenFixture model for OpenSCAD. It’s awesome because it takes a small problem, that nonetheless could consume an entire day, and solves it ...

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 ...

This article summarizes the content of a paper jointly developed and presented by Advantest and Infineon at TestConX 2022. Device under test (DUT) fixtures for ATE systems pose several verification ...
