Logic Probe Troubleshooting

This brief interactive activity, by Electromechanical Digital Library and Wisconsin Technical College System faculty member Terry Bartelt, introduces Logic Probe Troubleshooting. The resource begins with an overview, the logic components in an integrated circuit, input/outputs leads to which circuit tracks are connected, how to use a logic probe to determine if proper voltage and signals are present, and a demonstration of how the probe measures circuit operation. There is also a defective integrated circuit example and a troubleshooting problem for students to answer. This is an excellent resource, as are the others in this digital library, for reviewing fundamental concepts for electromechanical devices, systems, and applications.
