PCB testing verifies the structural integrity and performance of a circuit board. This article explores key insights from design for testability (DFT) to manual and automated tests such as AOI, ICT, and X-ray.
OEM means the client designs and the manufacturer builds. ODM means the manufacturer handles both design and production. This guide helps engineers compare IP control, customization, cost, and time to market to decide which model fits their product best.
CheriBSD is a Capability Enabled, Unix-like Operating System that extends FreeBSD to take advantage of Capability Hardware on Arm's Morello and CHERI-RISC-V platforms.
Research and Development product leaders like you and me drive innovation. We turn ideas and problems into safe and manufacturable products by exploring new technologies, materials, and processes to meet technical needs and customer expectations.
In this context, dynamic constraint checking includes software runtime checks (assertions that make checks over the correct behavior of the system) and hardware checks provided by some microprocessors, for example, memory protection provided by a Memory Management Unit (MMU).
New smart textiles developed by researchers at ETH Zurich use acoustic waves and glass fibres to help make precise measurements. They are light, breathable and inexpensive, and offer great potential for medicine, sports and everyday life.
Manufacturing semiconductors is made simpler and more cost-effective with the use of cutting-edge microdispensing technologies that can print on a range of substrates.
Nexperia NEVB-MTR1-KIT1 is a motor driver evaluation kit that can be set up in under two minutes, supports USB-C Power Delivery, allows microcontroller and component swapping, and offers open-source firmware for fast customization and real-world motor control development.
An edible robot made by EPFL scientists leverages a combination of biodegradable fuel and surface tension to zip around the water's surface, creating a safe - and nutritious - alternative to environmental monitoring devices made from artificial polymers and electronics.
LGA uses flat pads for connections, while BGA relies on solder balls for permanent mounting. This guide compares their thermal performance, electrical traits, reliability, and assembly pros and cons to help you choose the best IC package for your needs.
Functional inks are the backbone of printed electronics, transforming ordinary substrates like plastic, paper, or textiles into smart, interactive devices.
Reliability is a top priority in defense and aerospace electronics in harsh, unforgiving environments. The MIL-I-C standard is a guideline for conformal coating materials that helps keep PCBAs safe from military environments, ensuring dependable performance.
