  • Patent number: 11940496
    Abstract: An automated testing system comprises a high side switch circuit coupled to an input/output (I/O) connection, a low side switch circuit coupled to the I/O connection, a high side force amplifier (HFA) coupled to the high side switch, a low side force amplifier (LFA) coupled to the low side switch, an adjusting circuit coupled to the HFA and the LFA, and a control circuit configured to change the adjusting circuit to change control of current at the I/O connection from one of the HFA or LFA to the other of the HFA or LFA.

  • Patent number: 11824506
    Abstract: An amplifier circuit comprises a first gain circuit path configured to provide a first signal gain to an input signal, a second gain circuit path configured to provide a second signal gain to an input signal, an auxiliary gain circuit path configured to provide an auxiliary signal gain to an auxiliary input signal, wherein the auxiliary signal gain is equal to the first signal gain minus the second signal gain, a summing circuit configured to sum the second gain signal path and the auxiliary signal path, and logic circuitry configured to change an output of the circuit between the first gain circuit path and the sum of the second gain signal path and the auxiliary signal path, and set the auxiliary input signal equal to the input signal before the changing.

  • Publication number: 20230176110
    Abstract: A clamp circuit comprises an output transistor and a replica transistor coupled as a current minor pair, wherein the replica transistor is scaled in size to the output transistor by a size ratio; a first current source configured to set a current in the replica transistor, wherein the output current is set at a clamped output current value that is a sum of current of the first current source and a scaled value of the current of the first current source determined according to the size ratio; and a register circuit, wherein a register value stored in the register circuit sets the clamped output current value.
