Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Increase Test and Fault Coverage Through Interactive Tests
July 1, 2024 | Acculogic Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
New extended capabilities have been added to the proven integration package combining the FLS 980Dxi flying probe tester from Acculogic with the Embedded JTAG Solutions from GOEPEL electronic.
The automatic generation of interactive tests now provides real added value: measurements from movable probes of the FLS 980Dxi flying probe tester are actively integrated into Boundary Scan test. The SYSTEM CASCON software platform seamlessly integrates use of the Acculogic test system probes and is able to generate additional test patterns using these external access points.
The dedicated test type "Interactive ATE" is used for this purpose, which allows fast configuration by means of intelligent filtering of nets to be included in or excluded from the test. This maximizes transparency, test coverage, and test completeness. The tests are carried out using the the FLS 980Dxi flying probe tester software, which means the operator's familiar user interface remains unchanged.
When selecting the hardware components, attention was paid to compatible and industry standard interfaces. The integration package includes the latest generation of modular JTAG/Boundary Scan controllers, the SCANFLEX II CUBE, and an I/O module mounted onto the controller. Standard connectors allow for easy integration to the hardware interface of the Acculogic flying prober. This setup can also be integrated into existing systems.
GOEPEL electronic develops and manufactures innovative electrical and optical test, measurement, and inspection equipment for electronic components and printed circuit board assemblies as well as industrial and automotive electronics systems. GOEPEL electronic comprises four business units:
- Automotive Test Solutions
- Embedded JTAG Solutions
- Inspection Solutions AOI-AXI-SPI-IVS
- Industrial Function Test
The company is active worldwide, with its own subsidiaries as well as through distributors, and generated sales of approximately 40 million euros in 2023 with about 240 employees.
