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 ...

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 ...

Today’s high power semiconductor test applications are increasingly demanding, requiring test instrumentation capable of characterizing higher rated voltages and peak currents than ever before. Many ...

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 ...

In-circuit test (ICT) is a time-tested and proven method of testing PCBs. During ICT, a bed-of-nails fixture provides test-instrument access to PCB nodes. Each nail is positioned such that, when the ...

There’s no denying how useful surface mount technology is, and how enabling the ability to make really small circuits has become. It comes at a price, though; most of us probably know what it’s like ...
