PCB Test Yield Calculator

Calculate first-pass PCB test yield for controller boards, display drivers, LED controllers, audio boards, power boards, and connected entertainment hardware electronics. Use it when ICT, functional test, programming, boundary scan, power-on checks, RF checks, or final system test results need to show how many boards pass without rework.

What this calculator does

  • Calculate first-pass PCB test yield for controller boards, display drivers, LED controllers, audio boards, power boards, and connected entertainment hardware electronics.
  • Use it when ICT, functional test, programming, boundary scan, power-on checks, RF checks, or final system test results need to show how many boards pass without rework.
  • Tracks electronics test yield.

Formula used

  • PCB test yield rate = PCBs passing first-pass test ÷ PCBs tested × 100
  • PCB test yield gap to target = calculated rate - target PCB test yield

Inputs explained

  • PCBs passing first-pass test: Enter boards that pass ICT, functional test, firmware load, power-on, RF, audio, display, or controller checks without rework.
  • PCBs tested: Use the total boards tested on the same fixture, revision, lot, shift, or supplier receipt.
  • Target PCB test yield: Use the control-plan target, supplier scorecard target, launch target, or historical FPY goal for that PCB revision.

How to use the result

  • Use for PCBs in controllers, displays, audio, LEDs, power, and connected devices.
  • This calculator is an estimating tool. Results can change with product mix, controller revision, PCB revision, display size, refresh-rate setting, firmware image, test script, fixture uptime, operator skill, burn-in profile, audio calibration method, LED binning, enclosure design, thermal load, packaging specification, freight profile, supplier lead time, service history, warranty policy, and actual production conditions. Validate safety, EMC, regulatory, electrical, battery, thermal, acoustic, display, firmware, customer, and field-service requirements with qualified engineering, quality, compliance, operations, purchasing, and customer-approved standards.

Common questions

  • What information do I need before using the PCB Test Yield? Use first-pass passing board count, total tested board count, and target yield from the same PCB revision or lot.
  • What does the result mean? It reports PCB first-pass test yield and the gap to target.
  • When is the result only an estimate? This calculator is an estimating tool. Results can change with product mix, controller revision, PCB revision, display size, refresh-rate setting, firmware image, test script, fixture uptime, operator skill, burn-in profile, audio calibration method, LED binning, enclosure design, thermal load, packaging specification, freight profile, supplier lead time, service history, warranty policy, and actual production conditions. Validate safety, EMC, regulatory, electrical, battery, thermal, acoustic, display, firmware, customer, and field-service requirements with qualified engineering, quality, compliance, operations, purchasing, and customer-approved standards.
  • What decision can I make from the result? Use it to prioritize debug, supplier corrective action, fixture maintenance, process changes, or rework staffing.
