An analyzer for detecting intermittent faults in electronic devices

Intermittent defects are a major cause of failure in electronic systems throughout all branches of the Armed Forces and the electronics industry. They result in unnecessary repairs, low operational readiness, premature system replacement, and preventable accidents. The problems associated with troubleshooting and resolving intermittents are discussed, along with the need to change current mind-sets. New technologies and equipment developed by Universal Synaptics to detect and isolate intermittents are described. In addition, recommendations are made on how to maximize the benefits of these new technologies.<>
