Richardson, TX (February 12, 2013) – High-speed serdes (serializer/deserializer) links on printed circuit boards (PCB) sometimes don’t achieve their expected throughput rates because of process variances in manufacturing. A new e-book from ASSET® InterTech (www.asset-intertech.com), the leading supplier of tools for embedded instrumentation, explains the defects caused by process…
Non-intrusive software-based test methods deliver test coverage beyond the reach of legacy probes and bed-of-nails testers. A new white paper from ASSET® InterTech explains why test coverage from intrusive, probe-based in-circuit testers with their bed-of-nails fixtures is diminishing. The paper also describes software-based non-intrusive methodologies that test from the…
