on 1 Wiring/Electronic Circuits

Computer Accessories are devices added to a computer that perform an additional

capability or feature, but it is not required because a computer would still work if it
didn’t have these accessories.
Can you put a check (/) on the computer accessories provided below?
__ Microphone __ Gamepad
__ Keyboard __ Printer
__ Speakers __ Joystick
__ Monitor __ Motherboard
The reason for ejecting, disconnecting, or disabling the computer accessories
is that, in some cases, you do not know whether the device and your computer are
still communicating with one another. If this is the case and you remove the device
too soon, you risk losing or damaging the data that was being communicated or
transferred. To make sure that this doesn't happen, you need to ask the computer
to eject, disconnect or disable the device. The computer will only eject, disconnect or
disable the device once it has finished transacting with it.

Directions: Write True on the line if the statement given is correct in

terminating/connecting computer accessories; otherwise, write False.

______1. Most accessories are plug-and-play, which means they will be recognized
by your computer as soon as they are plugged in.
______2. Be sure to follow the instructions that came along with plugging in each
accessory to your computer because every accessory is different and will
have different instructions.
______3. In testing the joystick or gamepad, there is no need to perform additional
configuration steps to set up your joystick or gamepad to work with games
on your computer since it has been installed.
______4. USB cables only go into the port in one orientation.
______5. Press the Windows key + P so you can type on the search bar and access
the device manager.
______6. There are four options in toggling the projection settings: Extend, Second
screen only, PC Screen only and copy.
______7. After installing the webcam, you should test out the video stream and
audio of the mic, to ensure that it is working correctly.
______8. Press and hold the Windows logo key + S to choose one of the four options
in the projection settings.

Test Termination/Connections of
Lesson 2
Electrical Wiring/Electronic Circuits

Proper cable termination practices are vital for the complete and accurate
transfer of information signals and connections to your computer system. In order
to conduct complete testing of termination/connection of electrical wiring and
electronics circuits, you will need appropriate hand tools (e.g. long nose pliers, side
cutter pliers, Philips and flat-head screwdrivers, soldering pencil and desoldering
tool) and basic electronic testing equipment such as a multimeter, which you have
learned in the previous lessons.
A Multimeter, which is sometimes called Multitester, is necessary for any type
of electrical work. Using a multimeter helps determine if the wires and cables are in
good condition to transfer electricity and signals to an electronic device, component,
and any electric circuits.
Accurate measurement is also important to avoid wrong conclusions in using
the equipment. To avoid inaccurate readings, you need to handle, use, and store
meters properly. When you are done using a Multimeter, it should always be turned
off to extend battery life.

Directions: Write True if the given statement is correct in handling and using a
multimeter; otherwise, False.

______1. Carefully check the circuit connections before applying power to meters.
______2. You may overload any multimeter.
______3. Do not tamper with precision instruments.
______4. Before you connect a meter to a circuit, ensure that the range switch is set
to an appropriate position.
______5. You can switch settings, if necessary, while the probes are connected to
the circuit.
______6. Be careful not to touch the probe tips to each other while connected to
anything else.

15

(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 2)
______7. It is important that the test probes touch any other electronic components
within the equipment.
______8. When in doubt, use a high range that will be overloaded.
______9. Let a competent instrument repair person do service precision on an
instrument.
______10. Always turn off the multimeter after using it to extend battery life.

Multimeter

A multimeter is an instrument used for measuring resistance, voltage, and

current. There are two (2) types of a multimeter namely, the analog and the digital
multimeter.

Analog Multimeter Both types measure Digital Multimeter

resistance (ohms).

. Initial Steps in Using Analog Multimeter

1. Connect the test probe to the appropriate jack.

The red test probe to the positive (+) jack and the black to the common (-)
jack.

2. Check if the pointer rests exactly at the infinite zero position in ohmmeter
range.

reading.

A. Resistance Measurement
Always do the “Initial Steps in
Using Analog Multitester”.
In testing resistors, capacitors,
diodes etc. do not touch both test
probe lead, because our body also has
resistance that could affect the reading
value of the electronic components we
are testing.
If you do not know the value of
the resistor to be measured, find the
ohmmeter selector setting until you
have a clear reading in the ohmmeter
scale.

17

(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 2)
 4. Select the desired resistance range scale with selector switch.

Multitester, which is sometimes called a “Multimeter”, is necessary for any

type of electrical work. Using a multitester helps determine if wires and cables are
in good condition to transfer electricity and signals to an electronic device,
component, and electric circuits.

Accurate measurement is also important to avoid wrong conclusions in

using the equipment. To avoid inaccurate readings, you need to handle, use, and
store meters properly. When you are done using a Multitester, it should always be
turned off to extend battery life.
Precautions in Handling and Using a Multitester

These precautions apply equally to both digital and analog multitesters.

● Do not drop any Multitester.

● Do not overload any Multitester. When in doubt, use a high range that you
know will not be overloaded. You can always switch to a lower range if
necessary.
● Do not tamper with precision instruments. Let a competent instrument repair
person service precision instrument.
● Before you connect a meter to a circuit, ensure that the range switch is set to
an appropriate position.
● Carefully check circuit connections before applying power to testers.
● Be careful not to touch any other electronic components within the equipment.
● Be careful not to touch the probe tips to each other while connected to anything
else.
● Never switch settings (voltage to current for example) while the probes are
connected to the circuit.

3 Electrical Wiring/Electronics Circuits

Did you know?

Multi-meters were invented in the early 1920s as radio receivers and
other vacuum tube electronic devices became more common. The invention of the
first multimeter is attributed to British Post Office engineer, Donald Macadie, who
became dissatisfied with the need to carry many separate instruments required for
the maintenance of telecommunications circuits. Macadie invented an instrument
that could measure amperes (amps), volts, and ohms, so the multifunctional meter
was then named Avometer. The meter comprised a moving coil meter, voltage and
precision resistors, and switches and sockets to select the range.

Directions: Put a check mark (√) if the statement is correct and cross (X) if not, then

 A multi-meter or multi-tester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-
milliammeter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several
measurement functions in one unit. A typical multimeter can
measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog multi-meters use
a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings. Digital multi-
meters (DMM, DVOM) have a numeric display, and may also show a graphical bar
representing the measured value. Digital multi-meters have rendered analog multi-
meters obsolete because they are now lower cost, have higher precision, and are more
physically robust.
Parts of Multi-tester
SCALE– is a series of marking used for reading the value of
quantity. Scale can have different types of scale, for voltage
and current readings the scales have mostly linear which
means equal division for resistance.
POINTER– The needle-shaped rod that moves over the scale
of a meter. It is mechanically connected to the moving coil. It
indicates the measured values on the multi-meter.
ADJUSTMENT SCREW– makes it possible to adjust the
pointer to the zero position of the scale.
ZERO-OHM ADJUSTMENT KNOB– is used to zero in the
pointer before measuring resistance.
RANGE SELECTOR KNOB-(selector switch) makes it
possible to select different functions and ranges of the meter.
TEST PROBE- Positive (red) and negative (black) are used to connect the circuit to
the electrical components being tested.

How to use a Multi-tester?

A. Getting familiar with the device
1. Locate the dial of your multi-meter. 4. Locate the test leads.
2. Find the selector switch or knob. 5. Find the battery and fuse
3. Locate the openings in the case compartment.
where you'll insert the test leads. 6. Find the Zero Adjustment knob
B. Measuring Resistance
1. Set the multi-meter to Ohms or Resistance. Turn the meter on if it has a
separate power switch.
2. Observe the meter indication. If the test leads are not in contact with anything,
the needle or pointer of an analog meter will rest at the leftmost position.
3. Connect the test leads. Connect the black test led to the jack marked Common
or -. Then, connect the red test led to the jack marked with the Omega (Ohm
symbol) or letter R near it.
4. Hold the probes at the end of the test leads together. The meter pointer should
move fully to the right. Locate the Zero(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON
Adjust knob and rotate it so that the 3)
meter indicates 0 (or as close to 0 as possible).

26
 5. Measure the resistance of something like a light bulb that you know is good.
Locate the two electrical contact points of the bulb. They will be the threaded
base and the center of the bottom of the base.
6. Try different ranges. Change the range of the meter to R x 1. Zero the meter
again for this range and repeat the step above.
7. Test resistance between hands. Set the meter to the highest R x value possible
and zero the meter.
8. Make sure your reading is accurate. It's very important that the probes do not
touch anything other than the device being tested.
C. Measuring Voltage
1. Set the meter for the highest range provided for AC Volts. Many times, the
voltage to be measured has a value that is unknown. For this reason, the
highest range possible is selected so that the meter circuitry and movement
will not be damaged by a voltage greater than expected.
2. Insert your test probes. Insert the black probe in the COM or - jack. Next,
insert the red probe in the V or + jack.
3. Locate the voltage scales. There may be several Volt scales with different
maximum values. The range chosen by the selector knob determines which
voltage scale to read.
4. Test a common electrical outlet. In the US, you might expect 120 volts or even
240 volts. In other places, 240 or 380 volts might be expected.
5. Remove the probes. Rotate the selector knob to the lowest range offered that
is greater than the voltage indicated (120 or 240).
6. Reinsert the probes as previously. The meter may indicate between 110 and
as much as 125 volts this time. The range of the meter is important to obtain
accurate measurements.
7. Try not to hold both. Whenever possible, try to connect at least one probe in
such a way that it will not be required to hold both while making tests.
D. Measuring Amperes
1. Make sure you've measured the voltage first. You need to determine whether
the circuit is AC or DC by measuring the voltage of the circuit as described in
previous steps.
2. Set the meter to the highest AC or DC Amp range supported. If the circuit to
be tested is AC but the meter will only measure DC amps (or vice versa), stop.
The meter must be able to measure the same mode (AC or DC) amps as the
voltage in the circuit, otherwise, it will indicate 0.
3. Consider using a clamp-on ammeter. Ideal for the homeowner, this meter was
to be used to measure the current through a 4700-ohm resistor across 9 Volts
DC.
4. Be wary of any filter capacitors or other elements that require an inrush
(surge) current when switched on. Even if the operating current is low and
within the range of the meter fuse, the surge can be many times higher than
the operating current, because the empty filter capacitors are almost like a
short circuit.

Directions: Write down three (3) ideas that you have learned about the previous
lesson on work instructions based on job order or client requirements.
Write the answer in the graphic organizer below.

The instruction manual for electronic components where you can find the details
you need to design or operate a circuit is called a datasheet. This explains exactly
what a component does and how to use it because this includes the specification,
features and function of an electronic component. This document is usually written
by engineers for other related professions or users of the item. It is very important to
know how to interpret and understand the data in the datasheet so the user can
follow the instruction and requirements included in it. The interpretation of the
datasheet will also serve as a reference for the test documentation.

Datasheets are instruction manuals for electronic components. They explain

exactly what a component does and how to use it. These documents are usually
written by engineers for other related professions, and as such they can often be
difficult to read, especially for beginners. Nevertheless, datasheets are still the best
place to find the details you need to design a circuit or get one working.

A datasheet’s content will vary widely depending on the type of electronic

component, but they will usually have most of the following sections:

1. Summary of the part’s function and features

This is where you can quickly find a description of the electronic component
functionality, the basic specification details that describe what an electronic
component needs and can do and the functional block diagram that shows the
internal functions of the electronic component.

(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 5)
2. Pinout lists
This has the layout of electronic part’s pins, pin functions, and where it’s
physically located on the electronic component.

3. Absolute maximum ratings

This has detailed tables of electrical specifications that often list the total
maximum ratings a part can withstand before being damaged.

4. Recommended operating conditions.

This may include voltage and current ranges for various functions, timing
information, temperature ranges, bus addresses, and other useful performance
information.

5. Truth tables
These show how changing the inputs to a part will affect its output.

6. Timing diagrams
This shows how data should be sent to and received from the part, and what
speed it should be sent or received.

7. Application information
Complex parts will have extensive application information. This varies
depending on the part, but may include detailed descriptions of pin functions, how
to communicate with the part, lists of commands, memory tables, etc.
8. Layout considerations
Some parts are sensitive and have special considerations when mounting
them into a circuit, these can range from noise-reduction techniques, to dealing with
thermal issues, to mechanical mounting considerations as with the accelerometer.
This provides information and recommends instructions that if followed from the
start will lead to the most trouble-free circuits.

9. Packaging information
This provides accurate dimensions of the packages a component is available
in. This is very useful for PCB layout.

Testing documentation is a record of the condition and information on

electronic components before and during the testing process. It helps the testing
team estimate the testing effort needed, test coverage, resource tracking and
execution progress. It is a complete suite of documents that allows you to describe
and document test planning, test design, test execution, and test results that are
drawn from the testing activity.

Testing the electronic components is an integral part of creating an electronic

circuit. It aims to detect and solve technical issues in the electronic component and
assess the overall circuit functionality and performance. It is also a process included
in the quality assurance of the electronic circuit. Therefore, a set of criteria must be
established to ensure that components meet the technical and quality requirements.
The criteria include the following: controls, efficiency, effectiveness, bug detection,
functionality and performance, interoperability, reliability and operating parameters.
The testing criteria should include the following:

(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 6)
1. Controls
This refers to the ability of the electronic components and its terminal to be
operated or connected easily.
2. Effectiveness
The effectiveness criterion determines whether the electronic component can
perform its function at a practical interval that will either reduce the probability
of failure to an acceptable level.
3. Efficiency
Efficiency refers to the ability to produce maximum output from the given
input or power source with the least waste of time, effort, and energy. It must be
cost-effective.
4. Bug detection
The bug is an error, flaw or fault in a system that causes it to produce an
incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. This criterion
refers to the number of unexpected errors encountered when testing the electronic
components.
5. Functionality and performance
This refers to the capability of an electronic component to function and how
well it accomplishes its purpose.
6. Interoperability
This is a quality of a product or system, whose interfaces can easily work or

(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 7)
 Electronic components are vital in the process of producing electronic items.
It is essential that an electronic component passes the testing stage. Using a system
ensures that technical errors can be found and determines whether it meets quality
compliance. Always follow the correct procedure in testing electronic components.
The performance of all electrical or electronic equipment tends to degrade with
time due to fair wear out and component material degradation owing to its exposure
to heat, shock, vibration as well as other environmental conditions. Accordingly, the
chances of equipment failure and electric shock increase with time. Hence, it is
always advised that periodic calibration and tests of all electrical/ electronic
equipment must be conducted.

Here are the different Testing methods for electronic components

1. Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
2. Debugging
3. Visual Inspection
4. Common Test Platform
5. Prototyping

Testing means verifying correct behavior. Component testing is a method

where testing of each component in an application is done separately. Suppose in
an application there are 5 components. Testing each of the 5 components
separately and efficiently is called as component testing. Component testing is also
known as a module and program testing. It finds the defects in the module and
verifies the functioning of the software. Component testing is done by the tester.

Testing Methods for Electronic Components

A. Automated Test Equipment (ATE)

This is the best test method. ATE will have pin drivers that can exercise
inputs and load outputs to do parametric testing in addition to functional testing.
ATE will also be made to probe connections inside the circuit under test using a
bed of nails.

B. Debugging
Debugging is the process of detecting and removing existing and potential
errors also called bugs in a software code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly
or crash. To prevent incorrect operation of software or system, debugging is used to
find and resolve bugs or defects.

Here is the debugging process:

1. Reproduce the problem.
2. Describe the bug. Try to get as much input from the user to get the exact
reason.
3. Capture the program snapshot when the bug appears. Try to get all the
variable values and states of the program at that time.

 4. Analyze the snapshot based on the state and action. Based on that try to
find the cause of the bug.
5. Fix the existing bug, but also check that any new bug does not occur.
C. Visual Inspection
Visual inspection is simple and less expensive, and everyone should do it.
Here are the usual faults that can be found in the printed circuit board.

Component markings
Soldering and process issues
Shorts between traces and/or component leads
Open circuits

Jumpers/switches in the correct location/setting or not
Presence/absence of passive components
Presence/absence of active analog components

D. Common Test Platform (CTP)

Also called an Open Test Standard (OTS), is a set of specifications defining
test methods for diverse components of a computer and electronic systems to be
marketed as complete products. The intent of a CTP is to ensure consistency in
hardware and software test procedures from the conceptual and design phases
through manufacture and distribution.

Types of Electronic Test Equipment

1. Digital multimeter – This is the most versatile kind of testing device. It is
used to measure current, voltage, resistance, and various other parameters
of a circuit.
2. Solenoid voltage tester – is used to test AC and DC voltages between 100
and 600 volts. This inexpensive tool has low impedance and can trip Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) devices during testing.
3. Digital oscilloscope – Oscilloscopes help in converting non-electrical
vibrations or sounds into a 2-D waveform as a function of time. The
waveform thus obtained can be studied for frequency, amplitude, and time
interval.
4. Logic analyzer – This may be used to test complex digital and logic circuits
and display the relative timing of many signals.
5. Signal generator –a piece of a test equipment that produces an electrical
signal in a form of a wave. This is used as a stimulus for the item being
tested.
6. Network/impedance analyzer – This is used to test complex impedance as
a function of frequency. It helps characterize electronic components,
electronic circuits, and materials used to make circuits.

(DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 7)
 7. AC/DC power source – This acts as a regulated AC/ DC power source for
bench testing of electronic circuits. The main function of a power source is
to convert domestic power sources into specific voltages and currents.
8. LAN cable tester – This helps measure conductance between two ends of a
cable. They can be used to test a wide range of LAN cables including RJ45,
coaxial cables, and other cables of different category ratings.
9. Digital pattern generator – This is used to artificially simulate electronic
waveforms between two voltage levels which can be compared to the Device
Under Test (DUT) I/O standards.
E. Prototyping
A prototype is a preliminary model of a product from which newer models
are developed. For electronic products, a prototype is the first version that is
introduced to a small number of people for testing.

Some Benefits of Developing Electronic Hardware Prototypes

Time and resources are some of the most essential metrics in industrial
production. Below are some of the key benefits of prototyping to the overall
production process:
• The early detection and mitigation of design errors and product defects.
• The provision of continuous, real-time feedback in the interest of optimizing
product design.
• General assistance in determining the machinery requirements for production
• The procurement of a proof of concept to obtain funding from investors and other
project stakeholders.
• Minimization of resource wastages particularly by determining material and labor
requirements for full-scale production.

 Testing Strategies for Electronic
Lesson 8 Components

Electronic Components are the elements of the circuit that helps perform its
functions. They can be classified into two (2) types: The Active and Passive
Components. Active components are those which possess gain (e.g., transistors,
amplifiers). They can give energy to the circuit. While the passive components do
not possess gain and cannot give energy continuously to the circuit (e.g., resistor,
inductor, capacitor). Both play vital roles in the functioning of any electronic device.
Electronic Components are intended to be connected, usually by soldering to a
printed circuit board (PCB), to create an electronic circuit with a particular function.

Testing electronic components should be the primary concern before

performing any task related to electronics such as producing and/or troubleshooting
an electronic device. The quality device can be achieved if accurate strategies and
methods are applied in testing electronic components.

electronic component; otherwise, False.

Testing Strategies for Electronic Components

Dynamic Testing

Electronics tests place a wide range of performance demands on test

equipment for static and dynamic test equipment. The equipment is used to
validate new designs, improve manufacturing processes, and prove the quality of
end products. Mechanical testing requirements involve static, dynamic and fatigue
testing in tensile, compression, and shear test modes.

Testing the mechanical endurance and integrity of electronic components

and assemblies is important to validate designs, improve manufacturing, and
ensure the reliability of final products.

In-Circuit Testing

Circuit test equipment provides a useful and efficient form of printed circuit
board (PCB) test by measuring each component in turn to check that it is in place
and of the correct value. As most faults on a board arise out of the manufacturing
process and usually consist of short circuits, open circuits or wrong components,
this form of testing catches most of the problems on a board. These can easily be
checked using simple measurements of resistance, capacitance, and sometimes
inductance between two points on the circuit board.

In-circuit test equipment consists of several elements:

4 (DO_Q4_TLE-CSS9_MODULE4_LESSON 8)
 . In-circuit tester
The in-circuit test system consists of a matrix of drivers and
sensors that are used to set up and perform the measurements. There
may be 1000 or more of these driver sensors points. These are normally
taken to a large connector conveniently located on the system. It powers
up and actuates the individual circuitry on the board.

b. Fixture
The in-circuit test system connector interfaces with the second
part of the tester - the fixture. In view of the variety of boards this will
be designed specifically for a particular board, and acts as an interface
between the board and the in-circuit tester. It takes the connections for
the driver sensor points and routes them directly to the relevant points
on the board using a "bed of nails". A bed of nails uses fixed probes in
a design that fits a specific circuit board.

c. Software
Software is written for each board type that can be tested. It
instructs the test system what tests to perform, between what points
and details of the pass / fail criteria.

There are several free and downloadable software applications nowadays to

practice circuit testing online or offline. One of these is the Quite Universal Circuit
Simulator (QUCS). This is a circuit simulator with Graphical User Interface
(GUI). The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types. Pure
digital simulations are also supported.

QUCS can be downloaded by accessing this link:
