Abstract:
1. A test system comprising: a printed circuit board defining a first plurality of conductive paths, each of the first plurality of conductive paths associated with a respective first group of connection points; a package defining a second plurality of conductive paths, each of the plurality of second conductive paths associated with a respective second group of connection points and comprising a switch; an interposer located between the printed circuit board and the package comprising a first side, second side, and a plurality of interface connections, the first side interconnecting first corresponding individual connection points of the first group of connection points via first interface points, the second side interconnecting second corresponding individual connection points of the second group of connection points via second interface points; and wherein each of the plurality of switches is associated with a corresponding interface connection of the plurality of interface connections such that an electrical signal may be provided along a selected conduction path, the selected conduction path connecting one of the first plurality of conductive paths through at least two of the plurality of interface connections to one of the second plurality of conductive paths; wherein at least one switch of the plurality of switches is activated to define the selected conduction path.
