Abstract;We developed inspection technology which can examine PCB units with high mounting density, and find the causes of defective units. Introduction of a multi purpose tester platform (PucWin) that can execute "Compound Multi-function Testing", and an algorithm developed for specifying defective locations on a PCB, and a program for controlling this, enabled the use of an ICE (In Circuit Emulator). As a result, the inspection technology is able to test the state of connection of ROM/RAM which is installed with the PCB unit and to specify the cause of any defects. Moreover the inspection technology achieved shorter inspection time of PCB units. (author abst.)
