Resistance tests are a measure of current loss while there is a flow of electricity through a given component. Its unit for measurement is Ohms.
You can determine the resistance of a given component using a multimeter. Set the multimeter to read the resistance range on the Interface IC.
Then check if the given point can handle the resistance range on the Interface IC.
· Voltage Test
The voltage test measures the force of electric pressure. Carrying out this test depends on the type of current your appliance requires, that is, direct current or alternating current.
To carry out this test, adjust the multimeter to read the voltage set out on the appliance. You then check if the interface IC can handle the expected voltage range.

How are Interface ICs made?
There are two processes involved in the manufacturing of an Interface IC. They are:
· Wafer Processing
Here, you place all the components of an Interface IC including resistors and transistors on a silicon crystal wafer surface. There is the use of a thin film layer, which acts as the wiring.
This thin film layer has a photoresist coating. The nest step involves projecting the reticle on the photoresist coating by applying photolithography technology.
After completion, the photoresist acts as a mask for etching, which you use in processing it to the required Interface IC.
Wafer processing involves the formation of one layer of an Interface IC in which the components rest. You may repeat this process to form several layers depending on the number of components you want for your Interface IC.
For each layer formation, you need to test your Interface IC to determine if there are any defects. Removal of defects is necessary before the process continues.
