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 ...

Test engineers often are challenged with the task of simulating the environment in which the unit under test (UUT) will operate. To implement such a test, engineers use hot mock-up, embedded software, ...

SE: Why is applying functional test content so challenging today? Ruiz: There are a couple of different factors that make successfully applying functional patterns on the tester a challenge. In fact, ...

As manufacturers increase cell phone functionality by adding capabilities such as multiple bands, GPS, Bluetooth or 802.11, cameras and stereo audio, they must also cut test time to prevent test costs ...

Once relegated to test labs and engineering courses, electromagnetic forces have lately captured the imagination of the masses. Some of this is due to a kind of apocalyptic fascination—the idea of a ...

With the rapid growth in semiconductor content in today’s vehicles, IC designers need to improve their process of meeting functional safety requirements defined by the ISO 26262 standard. The ISO ...
