    Abstract: An automatic test system using a DDS signal generator to create a signal with high spectral purity or a low jitter digital clock. The low jitter clock has variable frequency and is programmed to control other test functions, such as the generation of arbitrary waveforms. The DDS uses a high resolution, high sampling rate DAC to generate a sine wave that is converted to a digital clock. The architecture of the DDS signal generator allows low cost CMOS circuitry to be used to generate the data stream that feeds the high sample rate DAC.

    Abstract: By reducing a cumulative number of drivers changing values during a transition, the cumulative current change may be reduced, along with the simultaneous switching noise effects. Also, a reduced cumulative current change can also reduce voltage fluctuations in ground and/or power planes of a chip, thereby minimizing potential improper logic functions due to voltage dips or spikes. In one implementation, the method includes reading values of a first state of a first set of bits of a first word and obtaining a projected value of a second state of each of the first set of bits. If the first switching noise cumulative effect can be reduced by changing the projected values of the second state of the first set of bits, an alternate set of values having at least one value differing from the projected values of the second state is determined to reduce the first switching noise cumulative effect.

    Abstract: A test system using direct digital synthesis for generation of a spectrally pure, agile clock. The clock is used in analog and digital instruments in automatic test system. A DDS circuit is synchronized to the tester system clock because it is clocked by a DDS clock generated from the system clock. Accumulated phase error is reduced through the use of a parallel accumulator that tracks accumulated phase relative to the system clock. At coincidence points, the accumulated phase in the DDS accumulator is reset to the value in the system accumulator.
