Impulse TLP System Software Details


User Control panel on system controller desktop with 50V TVS I/V ... 40 amps less than 1 ohm dynamic resistance.
Try that with someone else's TLP!

 

Impulse TLP System Software Control Panels

User Control Panel:

User defined administrative inputs:
• date, project ID
• lot number
• wafer number
• high voltage stress pad name
• ground pad name
• Data log path

User controlled transmission line charging voltage parameters:
• Start voltage, stop voltage, voltage step, and voltage attenuation
• Charging voltage polarity; positive, negative, both polarities

User controlled stop criteria:
• Absolute value failure criteria for short and open circuit failure (SMU)
• Relative value failure criteria for short and open circuit failures (DVM)
• Maximum measured ESD current

Display
• On the fly measured transmission line voltage and current plot
• System status indicator

Program Control buttons:
• Save setup in ASCII format with user defined names
• Recall setup
• Start and stop sweep buttons

Data logging and analysis
• Save setup and transmission line pulse IV data in ASCII file format
• Shell out to Excel spreadsheet for quick VI plot with linear regression macro
• Save setup to clipboard for inclusion into Excel or your custom analysis program
• Save current, voltage, and leakage parameters to clipboard for inclusion into Excel or your custom analysis programs

Calibration Panel

Calibration button
• Proprietary "open user" Calibration Algorithm
• Measure fixture parasitic elements for automatic compensation
• User controls for calibration algorithm control
• Set time sample points
