Power Supply Testing Handbook: Strategic Approaches in Test Cost Reduction FROM THE PUBLISHER
This essential planning guide examines the subject of power supply testing from three distinct yet interrelated perspectives, through the eyes of the design engineer, the manufacturing engineer, and the field service engineer. An important feature of this book allows you to create and plan your own power supply test strategy, one that fits your own companies needs. Evaluation sheets are included to assist in choosing the correct power supply tester and the correct in-circuit tester. In addition, "loop-testing" is discussed as a method of using in-circuit testers to perform diagnostic testing, reducing the need for skilled technicians to perform diagnosis. Various references are also supplied listing manufacturers along with addresses, phone numbers, and web site addresses. In addition to designers, manufactures, field service engineers, and purchasers, any professional working with analog or mixed signal products will benefit from this indispensable tool guide.

A comprehensive handbook on testing power supplies of electrical and electronic devices in volumes from the smallest to the largest, with separate sections for perspectives of design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and field service engineers. Based on the notion that the purpose of testing is not to repair a power supply before shipping it, but to identify what part of the manufacturing process caused the error and fixing it before more duds are produced. Discusses such aspects as creating a test strategy for a particular company, choosing equipment, and loop testing and other approaches that reduce the need for skilled technicians. One chapter has an extensively annotated bibliography; the others none at all. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
