ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a semiconductor test device that can output a higher voltage as a driver output without increasing power consumption of a high-speed driver, so as to test a device under test. In order to achieve this, the semiconductor test device for switching a driver output between a plurality of voltages and a higher voltage that is higher than said plurality of voltages and outputting said driver output to test a device under test, includes: a first buffer portion operable to output said plurality of voltages by a push-pull circuit of an emitter follower serving as a source and an emitter follower serving as a sink; and a second buffer portion operable to output said higher voltage by a push-pull circuit of said emitter follower serving as said sink of said first buffer portion and an emitter follower serving as a source of said higher voltage.
