Abstract
An AC impedance measurement system is used for measuring the impedance of a DUT. A measured voltage is applied to a first DUT terminal by a first digital to analog converter, the voltage appearing at the second terminal of the DUT is monitored through an analog to digital converter and forced by a second digital to analog converter to a desired negligible value, and a digital controller determines the impedance of the DUT from the measured voltage and the current necessary to force the voltage appearing at the second terminal to the desired negligible value.
