    摘要: There is provided a measuring apparatus for measuring a signal-to-noise ratio of a discrete waveform which is output from an AD converter in response to an input signal, where the signal-to-noise ratio indicates a ratio of a signal component of the input signal to noise generated by the AD converter. The measuring apparatus includes a spectrum compensating section that receives a spectrum of the discrete waveform output from the AD converter, and compensates the received spectrum in accordance with a non-symmetric sideband between an upper sideband and a lower sideband of the received spectrum, where the upper and lower sidebands are defined with respect to a fundamental frequency of the input signal, and a phase noise waveform calculating section that calculates a phase noise waveform of the discrete waveform based on the spectrum which has been compensated by the spectrum compensating section.

    摘要: A DUT comprises a notifying circuit configured to generate a notification signal which is used to notify an external circuit of an event that leads to a change in the operating current of the DUT before such an event occurs. A main power supply supplies electric power to a power supply terminal of the DUT. A power supply compensation circuit comprises a switch element which is controlled according to a control signal, and is configured to generate a compensation pulse current according to the on/off state of the switch element. A compensation control circuit receives the notification signal from the DUT, and outputs, to the power supply compensation circuit, a control signal which is used to control the switch element, and which is generated based upon at least the notification signal.

    摘要: A test apparatus tests a DUT formed on a wafer. A power supply compensation circuit includes source and a sink switches each controlled according to a control signal. When the source or sink switch is turned on, a compensation pulse current is generated, and the compensation pulse current is injected into a power supply terminal of the DUT via a path that differs from that of a main power supply, or is drawn from the power supply current that flows from the main power supply to the DUT via a path that differs from that of the power supply terminal of the DUT. Of components forming the power supply compensation circuit, including the source and sink switches, a part is formed on the wafer. Pads are formed on the wafer in order to apply a signal to such a part of the power supply compensation circuit formed on the wafer.
