Patent number: 5701087Abstract: In a prescaler IC test method for carrying out a characterization test to decide whether or not a prescaler IC is normal by the use of an IC tester for carrying out a predetermined decision operation and a probe card for mounting the prescaler IC kept on a wafer, the prescaler IC carries out a frequency dividing operation on reception of a frequency signal to produce a frequency divided signal. The characterization test comprises the steps of generating the frequency signal to supply the frequency signal to the prescaler IC on reception of a direct current control signal, converting the frequency divided signal into a converted signal having a predetermined signal width and a signal level, detecting a first mean value of the signal level, and supplying the first mean value to the IC tester in the form of a direct current signal. The IC tester is supplied with the first mean value and carries out the predetermined decision operation by the use of the first mean value.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1995Date of Patent: December 23, 1997Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Isamu Takano

Patent number: 5604447Abstract: A probe card includes an oscillator generating an AC signal, an averaged value detecting circuit receiving a signal outputted from a prescaler IC, for generating an averaged DC signal, and a plurality of switches for changing a flow of a signal among the IC tester, the prescaler IC, the oscillator and the averaged value detecting circuit. The switches is so controlled that the AC signal is supplied to the prescaler IC, and the signal outputted from the prescaler IC is supplied to the averaged value detecting circuit and converted to the averaged DC signal, whereby a non-defective/defective of the AC function of the prescaler IC is discriminated on the basis of the obtained averaged DC signal. The switches are also so controlled that a DC test signal is supplied from the IC tester to the prescaler IC and a DC output signal outputted from the prescaler IC is supplied to the IC tester.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 1995Date of Patent: February 18, 1997Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Isamu Takano

Patent number: 5121416Abstract: A method and circuit for extracting a timing clock in a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) system capable of transmitting data at a rate which is on the order of a gigabit per second. A first clock signal is produced by extracting a fundamental frequency component from the received signal. A frequency-divided clock signal is produced by dividing the first clock signal by a predetermined division ratio. A second clock signal is produced by extracting a frequency component of the frequency-divided clock signal. The extracted clock signal is generated by multiplying the second clock signal by a ratio which corresponds to the division ratio.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1989Date of Patent: June 9, 1992Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Isamu Takano
