Abstract
A signal driver system can include one or more force amplifiers configured to provide drive signals to an output node, such as a device under test (DUT) node. The system can include a first switch circuit coupled between a first force amplifier and the output node, and the first switch circuit can include multiple parallel instances of switch circuits with respective different resistance characteristics. The system can include a second switch circuit coupled between a second force amplifier and the output node. The system can include a control circuit configured to control the switch circuit instances of the first switch circuit to mitigate glitch at the output node, for example, when switching between the first and second drive signals.
