Abstract

A test system can provide a test signal to, or receive a test signal from, a device under test (DUT) via a first signal path. The test system can be configured to present a stable (e.g., 50 ohm) impedance at the DUT interface. In an example, the stable impedance comprises a physical polysilicon resistor in series with an output stage of a driver circuit of the test system. The impedance of the output stage can be a function of an incremental impedance of transistors in a push-pull output circuit. In an example, a control loop is provided to change a bias condition for the transistors to adjust the impedance of the output stage.
