Publisher's Synopsis
Test engineering has emerged as a crucial sub-profession of electrical engineering. This volume enables the practising engineer or advanced student to acquire the knowledge to select a test strategy to match the product and the tools to carry out the strategy in accordance with performance requirements.;It covers the sequence of events encountered in most digital test development efforts where the test subjects are circuit boards or integrated circuits. Chapters provide general background on the subject; explore the alternatives for deriving a test program (stimulus generation, expected response generation and circuit and fault modeling); and cover options in applying the test to the product, including automatic test equipment, device-under-test interface, ATE languages and aids to diagnostics and troubleshooting. The closing chapter gives a managerial perspective for the engineer who expects to exercise the full range test responsibilities.
