Abstract
A semiconductor test system having a power source current measurement unit for measuring a power source current of a device under test with high speed and accuracy. The power source measurement unit includes a DA converter for generating a source voltage, an operational amplifier for forming a negative feedback loop and supplying the source voltage to a power pin of the device under test thereby supplying a power source current to the power pin, a voltage amplifier for amplifying a voltage representing the amount of power source current supplied to the device under test, an integration circuit for integrating an output signal of the voltage amplifier for a predetermined integration time, and an AD converter for converting an output signal of the integration circuit to a digital signal after the integration time.
