IDDQ current monitor adds on to ATE systems
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2006
Belgium's Q-Star Test has announced the transient current monitor module QT-1411 for use as an add on to any ATE to perform IDDQ tests in production. The single-in-line module performs as a dynamic/transient supply current monitor and includes a digital interface and onboard memory.
The current monitor operates with any ATE in analog or digital applications. You can configure the monitor to measure in the ranges 5 mA to 100 A, from 2 to 50 Msamples/s, and with up to 14-bit resolution. The monitor also provides up to 3-MHz measurement repetition rate, 5-mA resolution at 5 mA, and 0.1% charge resolution on the 10-mA range. Measurement window is 20-ns minimum, 20-ms sampling at 50 MHz, or 0.5-s sampling at 2 MHz.
The monitor includes a 256-ksample internal memory, which can capture a complete current signature for off-line analysis. Driver software enables you to integrate the monitor into a test program.
