The first installment of this two-part series focused on debugging brushed-DC motor systems. Now the second installment will share some tips for stepper motor systems and provide general bench testing ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

Modern trace and debugging techniques. IDEs to use for trace and debugging. In computer programming and software development, engineers will deploy debugging tools and processes to find and mitigate ...

In increasingly complex SoC designs, many of which contain multiple cores and multiple modes, determining best practices for testing and debugging is a moving target. Jason Andrews, architect at ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...
