Patent number: 11360142Abstract: An apparatus for providing a supply voltage to a device under test includes: a controlled source; a switchable resistor circuited between the output of the controlled source and a dut port, having a comparatively smaller first resistance in a first switch state and a second resistance in a second switch state; a regulator that provides a control signal to the controlled source, to regulate a voltage to be provided to the dut. The apparatus changes a switch state of the switchable resistor while a voltage is provided to the dut via the switchable resistor. The apparatus injects a compensation signal into a control loop including the regulator, the controlled source and the switchable resistor, to thereby cause a change of the voltage provided by the controlled source, to at least partially compensate a change of a voltage drop across the switchable resistor.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Advantest CorporationInventors: Martin Mücke, Peter Horvath
