Ten Asian Editors to Tour Verigy’s Silicon Valley Operations CUPERTINO, Calif. - Nov. 17, 2009 - On November 30, Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, will host a visit to its Silicon Valley headquarters by a delegation of 10 journalists from technology and business media throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim.
Technical Note - Centering Pulse Waveform In a settling time measurement, rise/fall time calculation, and tests known as template fitting test, samplers are used to record waveforms. The test signal waveform in such applications is usually a clock signal with 50% duty ratio. You may want to shift this waveform in the unit test period window to a position so you can analyze and parameterize it. This technical note describes how to shift ("center") your waveform to any desired phase.
Mixed-signal Lecture Series: DSP-Based Testing Fundamentals 4 - Multi-tone Data Generation Multi-tone is a popular stimulus signal in mixed signal tests. By using a multi-tone you can capture gain and phase information at multiple frequency points with a single measurement so that it is very effective in frequency response analyses. As discussed in the last newsletter, when a multi-tone is programmed and generated by a DAC, it has a gain shaping of SINC function. In this issue, let’s look at the waveform and think of the point of appropriate multi-tone signal generation.
