IC and electronic-system capabilities are continuously increasing, causing greater complexity and circuit density on the silicon. Increased transistor counts demand higher current, which raises power ...

A two-port power distribution network (PDN) measurement is arguably the most accurate method of measuring low-value impedances, such as the output of point of load (POL) regulators and power planes.

A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.

When analyzing transistors, there is a finite allowable signal level that provides accurate results, which is due to a phenomenon related to the large signal effects of semiconductor junctions. When ...
