Abstract
A test apparatus that tests a device under test, including a signal input section that supplies a test signal to a device under test (DUT) and a judging section that judges acceptability of the DUT based on a response signal output by the DUT in response to the test signal. The signal input section includes an operation circuit that generates the test signal and a power supply stabilizing circuit provided in the same chip to stabilize power supply voltage supplied to the operation circuit. The power supply stabilizing circuit includes a high-speed compensating section compensating for a change in the power supply voltage supplied to the operation circuit, at a predetermined compensation speed, and as low-speed compensating section compensating for the change in the power supply voltage supplied to the operation circuit, at a predetermined compensation speed lower than that of the high-speed compensating section.
