Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

A typical PC-based test system may include analog and digital I/O cards and one or more communications buses that let you control external instruments. Budget restrictions, however, may force you to ...

Microcontrollers contain a broad range of features due to the numerous end-use markets they address. Typical microcontrollers come in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit versions and commonly are used in consumer, ...

Abstract: The production of a consumer product that includes a microcontroller on a printed circuit board (PCB) with supporting hardware necessitates thorough testing to ensure that the board will ...

Integrated Circuit Testers are devices that are used to test logic integrated circuits by sending pulses to their pins according to the truth table associated with the chip under test. In general, the ...

Abstract: Quality assurance on PCBs these days remains a very big challenging task in the current electronics industry. The paper proposes a new way for finding defects on PCBs with a microcontroller ...

This circuit solved a problem encountered in developing a portable device with an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The power supply consisted of two AA batteries (2 × 1.5 V), and I needed to signal the user ...

Every circuit requires some kind of protection from the conditions such as overload and short circuit which occurs because of the overload on circuit or overcurrent flowing in a circuit. Over current ...
