For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.

According to Keysight, its i3070 Series 7 In-Circuit Test systems delivers the shortest signal path between measurement circuitry and devices under test. Keysight's family of i3070 Series 7 In-Circuit ...

Since the introduction of in-circuit test (ICT) more than three decades ago, manufacturers of printed-circuit boards (PCBs) have debated whether overdriving devices during test can damage them.

To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...

Wherever circuits need protection against current overloads or short circuits, you’ll find circuit breakers. They range from fingernail-sized devices for semiconductor protection to truck-sized ...
