Abstract
Field Effect Transistors are used to replace mechanical relays and to minimize the distance a Device Under Test (DUT) must drive a signal path to the receiver, to minimize insertion losses in critical paths to the DUT, and generally increase reliability in integrated test systems by eliminating the need for relays to test integrated circuits.
