Abstract :
Gallium arsenide is a key enabling technology for high-performance automatic test equipment. GaAs ICs have been widely used in mainstream production and characterization testers for high-speed applications in logic, memory, and mixed signal test. Because of their high speed, precise timing accuracy, and high levels of integration, GaAs ICs have displaced silicon in many applications and have been successfully used in the entire digital channel from timing generators and sequencers to pin electronics.
