Table 29 Bypass Capacitance to Filter Out GPDPS Related Noise
For noise-sensitive applications, we recommend a capaci-
tance of 1 µF. Larger values will reduce measurement
accuracy.
Switching DPS Voltages (Vbump)
Switching of DPS voltages is, for example, needed in data
retention tests.
You can switch between two programmed power supply
voltages without stopping the test using the digital V
bump
feature. This feature allows you to program a change in the
power supply voltage during device operation.
The advantages are:
• the supply voltage can be switched during execution of
the pattern
• the measurement can be synchronized with the vector
pattern
• all GPDPS channels can be triggered at one time
NOTE Each GPDPS channel provides two voltage DACs. The
V
bump
functionality lets you switch between the two
voltage DACs on the DPS channel.
One Vbump trigger input is provided per DPS board. The
trigger signal triggers Vbump simultaneously on all 4 DPS
channels of the GPDPS board. However, you can set a
mask in the level setup window to trigger only a subset of
the 4 channels if you wish.
