"Investigación sobre la posible prevención de fallas falsas de un procesador en las pruebas de verificación de calidad"
2003
Proyecto de Graduación (Licenciatura en Ingeniería Electrónica) Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Escuela de Ingeniería Electrónica, 2003.
The project “PPV false failures reduction investigation”, was developed at
Componentes Intel de Costa Rica S.A. located at La Ribera de Belén, Heredia, Costa
Rica.
This work lied in an investigation which main goal was to study the false failures
of the POST process of a specific processor, during the test realized at the Product
Platform Validation in order to propose corrective measures.
Well designed mechanical and electrical experiment were conducted with the
intention of understand the nature of the false failures; as well as determinate the
influence of the equipment’s different physical variables (mechanical, thermal and
electrical) over the false failures appearance.
Some of the achievements were to determinate that the pressure of the
mechanical parts use by the equipment to hold the processor through the test time;
and the transfer rate of the data through the serial port that communicate the
hardware with the test program, were affecting the test results.
Furthermore one of the conclusions was that the randomly appearance of an
error generated by a lost of communication between the test program and the
hardware provoked this false failures.
