Automation of Synchronous Bias Transmission Line Pulsing System

Abstract

Synchronous bias transmission line pulsing (SB-TLP) system is able to provide a synchronous bias voltage to transmission line pulse. It's a more useful test bench to evaluate actual circuit characteristics of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection design with gate-driven mechanism than traditional Transmission Line Pulsing (TLP) system. It's important to set up an automatic SB-TLP system and be able to immediately analyze measured data which is more convenient to engineers. All of the instruments are controlled by a software written in LabVIEW environment to create a smart and friendly test workbench.
