    摘要: In one aspect, the invention is an integrated circuit (IC) for use in testing an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter includes a first channel of a parametric measurement unit (PMU) configured to send a force signal to the ADC. The IC also includes a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) connected to the first channel of the PMU. The DAC has a DC level of accuracy of less than 1 millivolt.In another aspect, the invention is an integrated circuit (IC) for use in testing a digital-to-analog-converter-device-under-test (DACDUT). The IC includes a first channel of a parametric measurement unit (PMU) configured to send a force signal to the DACDUT and including an output port for taking measurements, a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) connected to the first channel of the PMU and a PMU measurement path connected to the output port having a DC level of accuracy of less than 1 mV.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided to recover clock information embedded in a digital signal such as a digital signal A set of strobe pulses can be generated by routing an edge generator to a delay elements with incrementally increasing delay values A set of latches triggered by incrementally delayed signals from the edge generator can capture samples of the data signal An encoder (84) can convert the samples to a word representing edge time and polarity of the sampled signal The word representing edge time can be stored in memory (86) An accumulator can collect the average edge time over N samples (88) The average edge time can be adjusted with a fixed de-skew value to form the extracted clock information The extracted clock information can be used as pointer to the words stored in memory

    摘要: In one aspect, the invention is an integrated circuit (IC) for use in testing a device. The IC includes a pin electronics (PE) driver having an output and a pin. The IC also includes a buffer connected to the output of the PE driver and the pin. The first voltage measured at the pin is greater than a second voltage measured at the output. The IC may include a first amplifier having an input connected to a voltage source. The IC may also include a second amplifier having an input connected to the output of the PE driver.

    摘要: A semiconductor device tester includes a parametric measurement unit (PMU) stage for producing a DC test signal and a pin electronics (PE) stage for producing an AC test signal to test a semiconductor device. A driver circuit is capable of providing a version of the DC test signal and a version of the AC test signal to the semiconductor device.
