Intel
For 35 years, Intel Corporation has developed technology enabling the computer and Internet revolution that has changed the world. Founded in 1968 to build semiconductor memory products, Intel introduced the world's first microprocessor in 1971.
Today, Intel supplies the computing and communications industries with chips, boards, systems, and software building blocks that are the "ingredients" of computers, servers and networking and communications products.
These products are used by industry members to create advanced computing and communications systems. Intel's mission is to be the preeminent building block supplier to the Internet economy.
Low Cost Shock Test Device
A significant reliability test for electronic packages such as mother boards is to shock test the package. Typically, relatively large, and expensive, commercially available shock tables are employed.
These tables allow the packages to be attached to a part of the tester that receives either a force or displacement input. This in turn imparts a controlled shock pulse to the package in the form of an acceleration amplitude and pulse width .
Intel would like do develop a tester that is smaller, easier to use and still have the capability of duplicating shock inputs that electronic packages experience in the field.
