How To Boost ATE Power Supply Throughput


The test engineer’s job is not an easy one. There is constant pressure to improve system throughput. This white paper will guide you on how to increase throughput to reduce costs. Increased throughput comes from faster programming and command processing times, built-in output sequencing, and arbitrary waveform capabilities. Faster testing speeds will enable more rigorous testing of devices, d... » read more

Design Considerations For Ultra-High Current Power Delivery Networks


This article is adapted from a presentation at TestConX, March 5-8, 2023, Mesa, AZ. A power-delivery network (PDN), also called a power-distribution network, is a localized network that delivers power from voltage-regulator modules (VRMs) throughout a load board to the package’s chip pads or wafer’s die pads. The PDN includes the VRM itself, all bulk and localized capacitance, board vi... » read more

Optimizing Power Supply


Any electrical engineer knows providing power to your board is a key feature in PCB design. While most boards can be functional, their true quality shines when the perfect level of power to components is achieved. Building and designing better power supplies is the best way to ensure the end-product has full life-cycle potential. But how do we ensure we can convert a (potentially variable) i... » read more
