In circuit test advantages:
(Lead to Formative Assessment 3)
Easily detect manufacturing defects: It is that most board faults arise from problems in
manufacture - incorrect component inserted, a wrong value component, diodes, transistors or
ICs inserted with incorrect orientation, short circuits and open circuits. These are very easily and
quickly located using ICT as the in circuit tester checks components, continuity, etc..
Programme generation is easy: An In-Circuit tester is very easy to programme - files
can be taken from the PCB layout to generate much of the programme required.
Test results easy to interpret: As the system will flag a particular node as having a
short of open, or a particular component as being faulty, location of a problem in a board is
normally very easy - and do not require the application of the most highly skilled test staff.
In circuit test disadvantages:
Fixtures expensive: As the fixtures are mechanical and require general and wiring
assembly for each printed circuit board, they can be a costly item.
Fixtures difficult to update: As the fixture is a fixed mechanical item, with the probes or
"nails" mechanically fixed, any updates to the board changing the position of the contact points
can be costly to change.
Test access becoming more difficult: With the size of boards becoming ever smaller,
access to nodes becomes increasingly difficult. In an ideal system, special contact points should
be provided, but because of the constraints caused by miniaturisation, these contacts are rarely
available. Some nodes may not even have accessible contact points. This makes ICT difficult,
and reduces the fault coverage obtainable.
Back-driving: One problem that concerned people, especially some years ago was that
of back driving. When performing a test some nodes have to be held at a certain level. This
meant forcing the output of possibly a digital integrated circuit to an alternative state purely by
applying a voltage to over-ride the output level. This naturally put a strain on the output circuitry
of the chip. It is generally assumed that this can be done for a very short period of time -
sufficient to undertake the test - without any long-ter
