ABSTRACT:
In a first embodiment of the invention there is provided an electronic chip for use with an automatic testing equipment device testing a device under test. The device under test has a plurality of pins and the electronic chip is placed in a channel of a test card that is associated with one of the pins. An input signal is provided to a pin of the device under test and the resulting output is provided to the pin electronics for the channel of the test card. In most embodiments, the output signal is a voltage signal. One purpose for the electronic chip is to measure jitter based upon timing measurements performed by the electronic chip. Jitter measurements are particularly important for high-speed serial devices. The electronic chip includes an integrating time measurement circuit for receiving the input signal and producing an output signal including a timing measurement of at least a portion of the input signal.
