  • Patent number: 11955173
    Abstract: First fire operations for an ovonic threshold switch (OTS) selector is provided. A first fire operation includes setting a peak amplitude of a voltage pulse, and performing at least one cycle, including: providing the voltage pulse to the OTS selector; sensing an output current passing through the OTS selector in response to the received voltage pulse; comparing a peak amplitude of the voltage pulse with a maximum peak amplitude ensuring initialization of the OTS selector; ending the first fire operation if the peak amplitude reaches the maximum peak amplitude; comparing the output current with a target current indicative of initialization of the OTS selector if the peak amplitude is lower than the maximum peak amplitude; ending the first fire operation if the output current reaches the target current; and setting another voltage pulse with a greater peak amplitude if the output current is lower than the target current.

  • Patent number: 10944259
    Abstract: A system and method of protecting measurement circuits from a potentially energized device under test (DUT). In one embodiment, the DUT is a capacitor that has acquired a charge though some means prior to needing to test it. In this embodiment, a circuit is provided that protects the measurement circuit by both limiting the current to the measurement circuit while simultaneously dissipating the energy stored in the DUT. In a further embodiment, a detection circuit is provided to measure the voltage at the terminal of the DUT. Only when the magnitude of the voltage is lower than a specific threshold will the measurement circuit be switched to and connected with the DUT.
