Abstract
The invention discloses a testing system and method suitable for determining the connection state of an electronic component in an electronic device assembly. In an embodiment, the testing system comprises a signal sensing unit configured to provide a sensed signal induced by capacitive coupling in response to the output of a testing signal passing through a tested pin, a signal processor unit configured to filter and over-sample the sensed signal to obtain a digital signal, and an analyzer unit configured to compute the digital signal for determining a connection state of the test pin.
