    摘要: A system for distributing synchronous clock signals includes a set of spatially distributed deskewing stages. Each stage includes matching adjustable first and second delay circuits and a phase lock loop controller. Matching pairs of transmission lines interconnect successive stages of the set. One transmission line of each pair connects the output of the first delay circuit of each stage to the input of the first delay circuit of a next stage of the set. The other transmission line of the pair connects the input of the second delay circuit of the stage to the input of the first delay circuit of the next stage. When the first delay circuit of the first stage of the set receives an input reference clock signal, that reference clock signal propagates through all the first delay circuits of each stage in succession. Whenever the input reference clock signal reaches a stage, it also travels back to the second delay circuit of the preceding stage. The phase lock loop controller in each stage adjusts the similar delay provided by its first and second delay circuits to phase lock the output second delay circuit to the input of the first delay circuit. Each stage also includes a frequency multiplier for doubling the frequency of its first input signal thereby to produce one of the spatially distributed local clock signals.

    摘要: An apparatus for performing logic and leakage current tests on a logic circuit device under test (DUT) includes a local module for each terminal of the DUT. For performing logic test, each local module has a driver for supplying a logic signal input to the DUT terminal, a comparator for detecting the DUT output at the terminal, and a clamping circuit for limiting the voltage swing at the DUT terminal during the logic test. For performing a leakage current test, each local module includes a source for supplying a parametric signal to the DUT terminal. The voltage the parametric signal produces at the DUT terminal, as detected by the comparator, indicates the terminal's leakage current. The parametric signal source and the clamping circuit are connected to the DUT terminal through Schottky diodes. During a logic test the parametric signal source is isolated from the DUT terminal by reverse biasing the Schottky diodes linking the parametric signal source to the DUT terminal. Conversely, during a leakage current test, the clamping circuit is isolated from the DUT terminal by reverse biasing the Schottky diodes linking it to the DUT terminal. The Schottky diodes, when reverse biased, have very low capacitance and leakage current. Thus a DUT terminal leakage current measurement is not substantially influenced by leakage current through the clamping circuit and the edges of logic signal pulses are not substantially affected by capacitance added to the DUT terminal by the parametric signal source.

    摘要: An end wall display window particularly structured for use with a wraparound type carton in which a container matrix of, e.g., soft drink or beer cans, is sold. The display window structure preferably includes two wrap panels at each end of the carton, one on each wrap panel pair being connected to each of the carton's side walls. The two wrap panels of each pair are wrapped around portions of the outer surface of the end container in the matrix so that the wrap panels conform to the configuration of those container outer surface portions. The wrap panels are configured to define a window so that at least a portion of those end containers about which they are wrapped will be exposed to the sight of a casual viewer.

The probe board assembly includes one or more rigid substrate layers with traces and vias formed on or within the substrate layers providing relatively low bandwidth signal paths linking the tester to probes accessing some of the IC's pads. The flex cable provides relatively high bandwidth signal paths linking the tester to probes accessing others of the IC's pads.

    摘要: Described herein is a probe card assembly providing signal paths for conveying high frequency signals between bond pads of an integrated circuit (IC) and an IC tester. The frequency response of the probe card assembly is optimized by appropriately distributing, adjusting and impedance matching resistive, capacitive and inductive impedance values along the signal paths so that the interconnect system behaves as an appropriately tuned Butterworth or Chebyshev filter.
