Title :
A method for measuring collector series-resistance of an integrated circuit from module pins
Abstract :
It is virtually impossible for a user to measure the collector series-resistance RCSof an integrated circuit by probing the chip without opening the package. This letter describes a method for measuring the RCSof a current-switch emitter-follower integrated circuit from module pins within 3.5 percent accuracy.
