  • Abstract
    This work reports on a fully integrated μ-TLP system realized in MEMS technology. The proposed solution shows exceptionally low parasitics, and generates very fast pulses with fast rise times and high repetition rate. This system can be used for the testing of very sensitive devices, like MR heads or MEMS/NEMS.
