Abstract: A system is provided that includes a CPU, a graphical user interface coupled to the CPU, and a memory coupled to the CPU. The memory stores a bump map application and a data extraction application executed by the CPU. The bump map application displays a plurality of editable textual character groups representative of a plurality of bumps. The textual character groups are arranged on the graphical user interface according to a relative coordinate position of the bumps with respect to an origin. The data extraction application automatically extracts data from the bump map application for use by a router application.

Abstract: A method comprises generating first and second current levels and measuring the first and second current levels. The method further comprises alternately generating the first and second current levels repeatedly to generate a periodic current waveform, and measuring the voltage at at least one port in a system a plurality of times to obtain a plurality of sets of voltage measurements. The plurality of sets of voltage measurements are averaged. The method further comprises alternately generating the first and second current levels repeatedly at a predetermined number of different clock frequencies, determining a Fourier component of the averaged voltage measurements to determine clock frequency-dependent noises, removing the clock frequency-dependent noises to generate a filtered average voltage, and determining an impedance by dividing a Fourier component of the filtered average voltage by a Fourier component of the periodic current waveform having alternating first and second current levels.

Abstract: The present invention provides an output buffer that converts a standard CMOS signal from the (0, +5) volt domain into a standard ECL signal in the (-0.8, -1.6) volt domain. This buffer circuit may be included as a part of a CMOS integrated circuit. The overall CMOS chip operates in the standard CMOS voltage range, but the ECL output buffer produces output levels in the standard ECL range. The buffer uses a pair of CMOS transistors (e.g., p-channel devices formed in N-wells) with the wells in which they are formed grounded and an input transistor with the well in which it is formed set at V.sub.DD (+5V). The first "grounded-well" transistor responds to the state of the input transistor to switch the second grounded-well (output) transistor on or off. Depending on its state, the output transistor contributes current or not to a voltage divider to set the appropriate ECL voltage level at the output of the buffer.
