importance of concurrent design approaches in Testing Surface Mount Technology
(SMT) becomes increasingly important as design complexity, shrinking package
size, higher quality requirements, and global competition challenge all areas
of electronic manufacturing. "Over the wall" engineering
approaches often result in costly delays in production, untestable designs,
and field reliability problems. Getting new products to market faster
ultimately requires designs that are easier to produce, test, and
service. This course defines methods used by successful manufacturing
companies to achieve rapid prototypes, efficient design/manufacturing/test
integration and minimizing factory costs and Just-In-Time (JIT). TOPICS

us at americomseminars@aol.com Benefits of attending the Test Seminar This
course will benefit you As the trend
toward increased PCB complexity continues, there is a growing need to address
testing issues at increasingly earlier stages of the design process. With high-density boards comes the
challenge of 1GHZ device speeds and reduced physical access for testing,
fault diagnosis and repair.
Manufacturing high-quality reliable products requires concentrated
effort in two closely related areas:
Throughout this
three-day workshop, attendees will benefit from the instructor's extensive
"real-world" experience as a test engineer and technical
consultant. The format is designed to
provide a number of excellent opportunities for students to seek answers to
their unique SMT testing questions. Objectives: ·
To show how PC board design choices affect test strategy implementation ·
To demonstrate proven concurrent engineering approaches to PC board design
and layout issues that cut overall testing costs ·
To provide test-based tools to identify the causes of manufacturing defects
in SMT assemblies What You Will Learn: ·
How to test bareboards with blind and buried vias and controlled impedance requirements. ·
What causes PCB contamination dendrites and how to test for it? ·
How to define In-Circuit Test requirements at schematic capture and PCB
layout that insure adequate fault isolation and reduced functional test cost.
·
How to implement an overall test strategy to test early - test for less cost
and minimize the need for functional test. ·
Ability to recognize deficiencies in both schematic capture and PCB layout
that, when corrected, will greatly enhance the testability of your designs. ·
Awareness of the concerns of SMT Testing. ·
Bed-of-nails techniques for interfacing with very small pads and vias. ·
Best method of detecting manufacturing defects using either bed-of-nails,
vision, or flying probe. ·
An introduction to vectorless testing used to
detect shorts, opens, and other types of defects on high pin out areas of
PCBs. Who Should Attend: This seminar is
designed for engineers and their managers involved in the manufacture of SMT
and mixed technology electronic assemblies.
It will be beneficial to engineering personnel responsible for:

This
course is for anyone who wishes to enhance their understanding of Test. Course Outline Schematic Capture Test Issues Board-level
guides: initialization, signal monitoring, feedback, oscillator control, and ambiguity
groups; LSI/VLSI test guides: partitioning and bus visibility,
software/hardware control, controlling microprocessors, three-state buses,
memory elements, synchronization, and clock control—examples of controlling
CPU architectures for in-circuit test; mechanical testability guides:
accessibility, board layout and board orientation, standard grids, design for
simplicity/assembly/manufacturabilty; Analog and hybrid guides: signal
interfacing, analog test points and partitioning analog circuitry; Scoring
testability: three methods for scoring design testability and identifying
areas of untestable designs. Routing Board Layout Design Issues
Board size, parts
placement, large components, test pads, vias,
standard cells, auto drill/probe, and wire wrap issues; Spacing, skewing
error sources, actual pad size, chip shooters, vision systems, coplanarity; CAD drill tapes, top/bottom side
registration issues, tooling holes accuracy requirements, test probes,
daughter boards, clam shell fixtures, test top modules, the lattice probe
structure. Bareboard Test Issues
Effect of discrete
components, SMT, and both buried and distributive capacitance on EMI, stripline and impedance controlled boards, and curved
traces; Testing blind and buried vias; Bareboard test issues for high-density routing:
resistance, frequency, and signal quality; Today’s bareboard
test capabilities: megohm level, safety features,
speed fixturing enhancements and programming;
Automation techniques for transferring router (data set) files directly to
the B/B tester (i.e., eliminating software coding); Flying probe testing and
the concept of rapid prototypes (i.e., testing just-in-time). Student
Participation: A variety of boards
will be displayed to illustrate concerns of testing bareboards. Also, videos will be presented showing
methods of performing clam shell and flying probe bareboard
test. In-Circuit Issues Standard cells and
the ability to via electrical nodes: No-clean solder paste and ICT
bed-of-nails (BON) contamination, vias under
components—pros and cons; Purpose of 100% nodal visibility to the bottom of
the board; Design rule checker requirements; Testing ASICs and MCMs; Board
stress: what it is and how to eliminate it; test pad size: fixture
tolerances, pin tolerances, and error sources in the B/B; Standard guides for
automatic BONs fixturing; Why test spares;
Detection of the fault cause: solder, components, printing, chip shooting,
cleaning, and the human element-ICT must detect the fault, isolate the fault,
and define the fault cause; Backdriving:
requirements for CPU bus architectures, ASICs, and active components; What to
do when the IC model is not in the library; Why intelligent ICT is the best
SPC tool in the factory; What’s new in wireless fixtures, magnetic plate,
capacitive plate and reverse diode testing—how they work and what they can do
for your company’s ICT test capability; Can a board level functional test be

data instruction registers, the five test instruction, running BIST; SCAN for
ICT, board and system functional test—does it work; ICT testers and test
