  • Abstract
    An integrated circuit for high speed testing which provides precision edge timing and control for three complete channels is described. It consists of nine timing verniers of 40 pS time-step, 80 pS accuracy and 2 nS full range, and all the logic required to configure the drive waveforms and the strobe of the returning signals. The system clock frequency into the IC is 500 MHz
