Trouble in Your Tank: The Root Cause of ICDs, Part II
One can never get enough of a bad thing. And that applies to circuit board fabrication and technical issues such as ICDs. In the September 2012 Trouble in Your Tank column in this magazine, I summarized the different types of ICD and even covered an actual case history. In Part II, I present another case study and again challenge the reader to test his or her troubleshooting skills.
This article originally appeared in the March 2013 issue of The PCB Magazine.
