Testing and Troubleshooting problems


  • 1. The use of triggered sweep when using an oscilloscope provides more accuracy in which area?

  • Options
  • A. frequency
  • B. amplitude
  • C. graticule activity
  • D. timing
  • Discuss
  • 2. What is the next step after discovering a faulty gate within an IC?

  • Options
  • A. repair the gate
  • B. resolder the tracks
  • C. replace the IC involved
  • D. recheck the power source
  • Discuss
  • 3. A +5 V PCB power source that has been "pulled down" to a +3.4 V level may be due to:

  • Options
  • A. a circuit open
  • B. a faulty regulator
  • C. the half-split method
  • D. a circuit short
  • Discuss
  • 4. Measurement of pulse width should be taken at a 50% mean of the:

  • Options
  • A. overshoot and undershoot
  • B. rise and fall
  • C. damping and ringing
  • D. leading and trailing amplitude
  • Discuss
  • 5. A logic probe is placed on the output of a gate and the display indicator is dim. A logic pulser is used on each of the input terminals, but the output indication does not change. What is wrong?

  • Options
  • A. The dim indication on the logic probe indicates that the supply voltage is probably low.
  • B. The output of the gate appears to be open.
  • C. The LOW indication is the result of a bad ground connection on the logic probe.
  • D. The gate is a tri-state device.
  • Discuss
  • 6. The duty cycle of a pulse is determined by which formula?

  • Options
  • A. Duty Cycle =
  • B. Duty Cycle =
  • C. Duty Cycle =
  • D. Duty Cycle =
  • Discuss
  • 7. The time needed for a pulse to increase from 10% to 90% of its amplitude defines:

  • Options
  • A. pulse width
  • B. propagation delay
  • C. rise time
  • D. duty cycle
  • Discuss
  • 8. The determination of a digital signal's frequency and waveshape is best accomplished with which test equipment?

  • Options
  • A. an oscilloscope
  • B. a multimeter
  • C. a spectrum analyzer
  • D. a frequency generator
  • Discuss
  • 9. The use of a multimeter with digital circuits allows the measurement of:

  • Options
  • A. pulse width
  • B. voltage or resistance
  • C. current
  • D. pulse trains
  • Discuss
  • 10. Which device would best aid in shorted track detection?

  • Options
  • A. multimeter
  • B. current tracer
  • C. logic pulser
  • D. oscilloscope
  • Discuss
