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

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 ...

As more components are embedded in PCBs, complexity increases as multiple systems are needed to perform in-circuit test (ICT), programming and functional testing.

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

The circuit was designed prior to the advent of SMT. Circuit components are not available in SMT. The manufacturer doesn’t have SMT equipment to manufacture the assemblies.

To test this assumption, [Duncan Haldane] employed three of the more highly praised LLMs to assist with circuit board design.

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space ...
