Hardware Production Test Techniques

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Earlier today, a former colleague of mine asked me if I knew of any good books on "System-Level Production Test Techniques".

 

This person is an experienced IC test engineer that is transitioning into a new role as an embedded system production test engineer. They are very familiar with test concepts and want to understand system level considerations.

 

There are many great books on mixed-signal IC test techniques. Like my colleague, I assumed that there would be plenty equivalent books on system level production testing.

 

A search on Amazon has come up surprisingly short and I'm a bit stumped.

 

Any recommendations for a good book (or other resource - app notes, forums, blogs, etc.) on embedded system production testing would be greatly appreciated.

 

Topics of interest include:

  • Production Test Hardware
  • Test Jig Development
  • Bed Of Nails
  • Flying Probe
  • Boundary Scan
  • In-System ADC/DAC Test Techniques (Though these are well covered in IC Test books)
  • In-System Memory Test Techniques (Volatile and Non-Volatile)
  • In-System Interface Test Techniques (UART, Ethernet, USB, etc.)
  • In-System Peripheral Test Techniques (LEDs, Push Buttons, Switches, etc.)
  • BIST
  • Use of system processor(s) for production test purposes
  • Programming techniques for non-volatile memory for processors and FPGAs during production test (JTAG, BSCAN, etc.)

 

The above list is a bit of catch all but I'm keen to hear about any good resources.

    I will suggest you to visit CRITERION INSTRUMENTS - Electronic Test Equipment.

    This is actually a company that supplies all electronic equipment for commercial and industrial needs, but they have their own blog. I hope that will help you.

    I learned a lot by asking circuit board production firms what techniques they used and how that worked for them. I was lucky enough to have to deal with a wide range of these firms (local small ones to very large ones in China), so got a lot of different points of view.

    I'd find it hard to recommend a single location, but when looking through products like Sistel production testers you'll get a view of what's possible.
