Electronics school training courses in Akron, OH (public, in-house or online)

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Electronics program prepares graduates for entry-level positions in electronics technology. Students develop a solid foundation in technical training, problem solving, and communication skills through general education requirements.

This course material covers test methodologies for ICs. It includes information on digital testing, current testing, and timing tests. All three are useful to help localize defects and other problems on circuits prior to shipping them to the customer.

Test Process Basics

Test process basics provides an overview of the test process and how defect-based test fits into it. This section covers the development of the test set from design through to production and the various components ...

Defect-based testing is the practice of testing with the idea of detecting defective conditions on complex ICs. Defect-based testing moves beyond functional and structural testing by introducing test concepts to catch actual defects. Many defects are not easily caught with standard test techniques, and require additional test approaches. Defect-based testing incorporates knowledge of defects like opens, shorts, resistive connections, parametric anomalies, and process variation-induced problems. ...

This material covers the technology of memory ICs. Memory is ubiquitous in today’s electronic systems. There are several types of memory: dynamic random access memory (DRAM), static random access memory (SRAM), and non-volatile memory (NVM). Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and each has different design and manufacturing techniques.

Memory Technology Overview

This section provides an overview of memory technology. It covers Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), Static...
