Aims

Outline the principles and methods that constitute the testing of devices and equipment used in electronics

Qualitative and quantitative interpretation of the functioning of electronic circuits and identification of main test points

Identification of hardware and software solutions for the main problems of automated testing of equipments

Use of the criteria and methods of evaluation of the quality of production processes and service activities in the field of electronic engineering

Design of dedicated systems with simple architecture, including related programs

Course contents

1. General considerations regarding the testing process 2. Characterization of defects. Logical defects. Short circuit defects. Interrupt type defects. 3. Generation of deterministic test vectors (ATG) for combinational circuits 4. Generation of deterministic test vectors (ATG) for sequential circuits 5. Random Test Generation (RTG) Methods 6. Generators of pseudo-random sequences 7. Data compression methods 8. Design principles for testability 9. Structured design for testability 10. Testing standard 1149.1 11. Testing standard 1149.4 12. Other standards used in testing 13. Indirect testing method – IDDQ testing 14. Indirect testing method – thermal footprint testing

Learning outcomes

- to develop the students' ability to use the knowledge acquired in the cross-semester practice correctly; - to operationalize them in software and hardware testing procedures. - to apply manual testing methods and techniques, automatic for both classical physical circuits and for software program routines and sequences.
