ICT Programming Solutions

Expert In-Circuit Test (ICT) Software Development

Circuit Check provides comprehensive In-Circuit Test (ICT) programming solutions for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) of every size and complexity. Our ICT programming team—built on decades of Circuit Check fixture experience and SSP’s deep software expertise—delivers precise, reliable, and efficient test programs that help OEMs and contract manufacturers (CMs) accelerate production while maintaining the highest levels of product quality.

We’ve developed thousands of ICT programs for customers across a wide range of industries, supporting PCBAs from fewer than 100 nets to over 10,000+ nets. Whether you need support for a single board, a multi-up fixture, or an entire product family, our team provides the right balance of automation, accuracy, and scalability.

Comprehensive ICT Test Coverage
Our ICT programs are designed to verify that every component is correctly installed and functioning as intended. Using advanced software algorithms and deep manufacturing experience, we ensure thorough detection of typical manufacturing defects, including:

• Shorts and opens
• Missing or incorrect components
• Misplaced or reversed components
• Orientation and polarity issues

Every ICT program is customized to your specific test strategy. We can use our standard Statement of Work (SOW), developed to cover the most common manufacturing faults, or work directly from your provided SOW and design specifications.

Advanced ICT Programming Capabilities
Circuit Check’s advanced ICT programming services extend beyond basic defect detection. We incorporate functionality and parameter testing to ensure your product meets operational performance requirements before functional test or system-level validation.

Our advanced capabilities include:

• LED testing for polarity, color, and brightness validation
• In-System Programming (ISP) for microcontrollers and programmable devices
• Flash and EEPROM programming for memory device verification and load
• AC-to-DC converter testing for power circuit validation
• Custom functional and mixed-signal tests tailored to complex board designs

These capabilities help our customers consolidate multiple test steps into one efficient ICT program, saving time and reducing overall test costs.

Seamless Integration with ICT Fixtures and Testers
Our ICT software is designed for seamless integration with Keysight 3070 ICT testers and compatible fixture designs. Whether your setup involves wired or wireless fixtures, clamshell configurations, or high-node count adapters, we ensure smooth operation between hardware and software.

By combining fixture and programming expertise under one roof, Circuit Check delivers a true turnkey ICT solution—from fixture design and fabrication to software development and system validation. This approach streamlines communication, shortens lead times, and results in more stable, repeatable test processes.

Proven Results and Reliability
With more than 4,600+ turnkey ICT fixture and programming projects completed, Circuit Check has the scale, infrastructure, and experience to support both high-volume manufacturing and complex low-volume programs. Our rigorous validation processes and quality controls ensure every program is tested, verified, and production-ready before delivery.

Partner with Circuit Check
Circuit Check’s ICT Programming services combine decades of test engineering experience with state-of-the-art tools and processes to help customers reduce costs, improve coverage, and accelerate production readiness.

Whether you need to develop a new ICT program, update an existing one, or integrate additional test functionality, our team can deliver a complete, ready-to-run solution tailored to your application.
