Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a circuit which turns ON/OFF a low frequency capacitor to be connected with a power source of a device to be measured, in an IC tester. SOLUTION: In the test of a high speed DUT (device to be measured) which needs the connection of a capacitor 1 for low frequency, a load circuit on a test board is not used, so that a power source circuit 7 which is prepared for the load circuit is not used. A relay 4 for turning ON/OFF the capacitor 1 for low frequency is operated by turning ON/OFF the power source circuit 7 for a load. Thereby the circuit for turning ON/OFF the capacitor 1 is simplified.
