An apparatus is provided to determine deterioration of a photocoupler. The apparatus includes a detecting unit and a determining unit. The detecting unit receives an electric pulse signal outputted from the photocoupler. The amplitude of the outputted pulse signal depends on that of an electric AC voltage applied to the photocoupler. The detecting unit detects a duty ratio of the pulse signal. The determining unit determines whether or not the duty ratio is less than a threshold given for the determination. The determining unit also determines that the photocoupler has deteriorated in performance thereof more than a usable level if it is determined that the duty ratio is less than the threshold given for the determination.

Various methods are described to characterize interferometric modulators or similar devices. Measured voltages across interferometric modulators may be used to characterize transition voltages of the interferometric modulators. Measured currents may be analyzed by integration of measured current to provide an indication of a dynamic response of the interferometric modulator. Frequency analysis may be used to provide an indication of a hysteresis window of the interferometric modulator or mechanical properties of the interferometric modulator. Capacitance may be determined through signal correlation, and spread-spectrum analysis may be used to minimize the effect of noise or interference on measurements of various interferometric modulator parameters.

Circuitry and methods for measuring capacitive mismatch with improved precision. The capacitors under measurement are connected in series in a voltage divider, with the node common to both capacitors connected to the gate of a source follower transistor. In one disclosed embodiment of the invention, a ramped voltage is applied to the drain of the source follower transistor simultaneously with the ramped voltage applied to the voltage divider; the slope of the ramped drain voltage is at the nominal slope of the voltage at the common node of the voltage divider. In another embodiment, a second transistor in saturation has its gate coupled to the source of the source follower device, and its source connected to the drain of the source follower device in series with a constant voltage drop. The drain-to-source voltage of the source follower device is thus held constant in each embodiment, improving precision of the measurement.

Methods and apparatus pertaining to memory resistors are provided. Electronic circuitry determines energy for changing a non-volatile resistance of a memristor from a present value to a target value. An electric charge corresponding to the energy is stored. An electric pulse is applied to the memristor using the stored charge. The newly adjusted resistance of the memristor is sensed and compared to the target value. Additional electric pulses can be applied in accordance with the comparison. Memristor adjustment by way of feedback control is thus contemplated by the present teachings.

The present invention is provided to quickly and efficiently inspect a plurality of CCD sensors. In the present invention, a plurality of openings is formed in a circuit board of a probe card. A plurality of vertical-type probe pins is connected to a lower surface of the circuit board. A guide board is installed at the lower surface of the circuit board, and respective probe pins are inserted into respective guide holes of the guide board. The guide board is made of a transparent glass board. During an inspection, inspection light emitted from a test head passes through the openings of the circuit board and the guide board, so that it is irradiated onto the plurality of CCD sensors on the substrate. Since the plurality of probe pins can be arranged at a narrow pitch without blocking the inspection light, adjacent CCD sensors on the substrate can be inspected simultaneously.
