The Next RF Probing Challenge: IoT and 5G

IoT and 5G applications have theirchallenges when it comes to functional testing –especially for the probing part inside a functional test fixture(hereinafter referred to as “FCT” fixture).I .. read more

Design for Testability (DFT) to Overcome Functional Board Test Complexities in Manufacturing Test

Manufacturers test to ensure that the product is built correctly. Shorts,opens,wrong or incorrectly inserted components,even catastrophically faulty components need to be flagged,found and repa .. read more

Expanding IEEE Std 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Architecture Beyond Manufacturing Test of Printed Circuit Board Assembly

This paper will discuss the expanded use of boundary-scan testing beyond the typical manufacturing test to capture structural defects on a component/devices in a printed circuit board assembly .. read more

Early Design Review of Boundary Scan in Enhancing Testability and Optimization of Test Strategy

With complexities of PCB design scaling and manufacturing processes adopting to environmentally friendly practices raise challenges in ensuring structural quality of PCBs. This makes it essenti .. read more

Good Product Quality Comes From Good Design for Test Strategies

Product quality can be improved through proper application of design for test (DFT) strategies. With today’s shrinking product sizes and increasing functionality,it is difficult to get good tes .. read more

Application Of Build-in Self Test In Functional Test Of DSL
