Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A main power supply supplies a power supply voltage to a power supply terminal of a DUT. A control pattern generator generates a control pattern including a pulse sequence. A compensation circuit intermittently injects a compensation current to the power supply terminal of the DUT via a path different from that of the main power supply. A switch is arranged between an output terminal of a voltage source and the power supply terminal of the DUT, and is turned on and off according to the control pattern.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A test apparatus configured to test a device under test, the test apparatus comprising: a main power supply configured to supply a power supply voltage to a power supply terminal of the device under test; a control pattern generator configured to generate a control pattern including a pulse sequence that corresponds to processing to be executed by the device under test; and a compensation circuit configured to intermittently inject a compensation current…
