Curve-trace testing can reveal whether an incoming batch of ICs are bogus without resorting to destructive inspection measures. Alan Lowne | Saelig Making fake “lookalike” integrated circuits which resemble real ones takes minimal skill. It may simply require finding cheap parts in the same package and applying new markings. This problem has arisen due to […]
Two/four-channel 100-350 MHz scopes feature 200-Mpt memory, 10-in touch-screen, external mouse/keyboard control, 50-MHz waveform generator
The new Siglent SDS2000X Plus Digital Oscilloscope Series consists of four models: one two-channel 100-MHz bandwidth (software upgradeable to 350 MHz) and three four-channel models (100/200/350 MHz.) The 350-MHz models can be upgraded to 500 MHz on two independent channels. A large 10.1-in capacitive touch-screen supports multi-touch gestures. The oscilloscope range also offers a 10-bit […]
Infrared cameras for PCB development and diagnosis
Infrared cameras can help size up the surface temperatures of electronic components, PCBs, and other objects to reveal unseen problems. ALAN J. LOWNE, SAELIG CO. INC. Thermal imagers, also called infrared cameras, capture a 2-D representation of objects in front of their germanium optics (ordinary optical glass impedes IR wavelengths). They present a visible version […]
