、如此5由於係由多工器選擇分壓電阻部7之分壓,且 設:DUT 10之基準電壓’因此可抑制贿1〇之:腳間 瞻的决差。而且,由於溫度漂移(drift)產生的影響遍及於 10之所有基準電壓接腳,且在用以輸出電壓比的DUT 中相對精確度會成為問題,因此可忽視因為溫度漂移所 產生的影響。換言之,可精確地進行測試。 亚且,由於並未藉由電阻分壓來分配下位位元之電 位,而是藉由D/A轉換器9輸出下位位元之電位的構成 ^此=會受到下位電位分配時之配線所產生之雜訊等的影 曰藉此由方;D / A轉換器9係以分壓電阻部7之分壓 鲁為基,,且將下録元之電歸料的電壓予以輸出,並藉 由加算部5加算放大器3的輸出,並輸出至DUT ι〇,因 此可維持相對精確度,同時可精確地獲得高分解能力的輸 出0 再者,由於藉由底板BP將參考電壓板、電壓產生 B叹成可卸除之構成,因此可容易進行各板的更換。 另外,本發明並不以該實施例為限,雖顯示設有緩衝 哭 Λ Λ ϋσ 之構成,然而亦可設成多工器8、D / Α轉換器9 直接輪出至加算部5之構成。 316984 200540437 點之年位為美^轉換器9雖顯示係以電阻R1、R2之連雄 “為基準,游電壓予以輸出之 連矣 5壓電阻部7之其他電位(亦 ’:、、'、而亦可使用 電阻之各連接點的電位)。此時/亦可It之外之相鄰接之 到加算部5的路徑上钟 在仅D/α轉換器9 衡器4,設置用以衰二/丁衷減的衰減器,或是取代缓 或者是以加算部5 換器9之輸出的放大器, 再進行加算之構成亦ΙΓ轉換器9之輸出予以衰減後 此外,亦可取代用以輸出下位位元之資斜 換器9,而與分壓電阻部工^、、 A轉 rgr. _ 8 W 樣地,設 W 1 /ΒΕΙ 八 遂電阻部與複數個多工器之構成亦無妨。…個刀 大二二加算部5、放大器6亦可藉由以電阻與運算放 斤構成之加算電路構成。而且,亦可不設置放大哭6, 而設成由加算部5進行放大之構成。 緩衝器4、加算部 多工器8、緩衝器 此外’雖顯示設置D/A轉換器9、 鲁5、放大器6之構成,然而亦可設成藉由 3 ’將基準電壓輸出至DUT 10之構成。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖為表示本發明之一實施例之構成圖。 第2圖為表示習知ic測試器之構成圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 、2 D/A(Digital/Ana】og,數位/類比)轉換器 1、4 緩衝?§ (buffer) 5 加算部 > 放大器 7 分壓電阻部 316984 12 200540437 8 多工器 9 D/A轉換器 10 作為被測試對 象之液 晶驅動器(Device Under Test, DUT) B 電壓匯流排 BP 底板 CB 控制匯流排 Μ 電壓產生部 R1至 R8 電阻 RB 參考電壓板 V 電壓 VB 電壓產生板 VR 參考電壓 3169845 This is because the multiplexer selects the voltage division of the voltage division resistor section 7 and sets: the reference voltage of DUT 10 ', so it can suppress the bridging of 10: the difference between the feet. In addition, because the effect of temperature drift (Drift) spreads across all the reference voltage pins, and the relative accuracy in the DUT used to output voltage ratio will become a problem, the effect of temperature drift can be ignored. In other words, testing can be performed accurately. Moreover, since the potential of the lower bit is not distributed by the resistance voltage division, but the structure of the potential of the lower bit is output by the D / A converter 9 ^ this = will be generated by the wiring when the lower potential is allocated The D / A converter 9 is based on the voltage divider of the voltage-dividing resistor section 7, and outputs the voltage of the electrical data of the recording unit. The adding unit 5 adds the output of the amplifier 3 and outputs it to the DUT ι. Therefore, the relative accuracy can be maintained, and at the same time, an output with high resolution can be accurately obtained. Furthermore, the reference voltage plate and the voltage B are generated by the base plate BP. Since it is detachable, it is easy to replace each board. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Although it is shown that a buffer Λ Λ 哭 σ is provided, the multiplexer 8 and the D / Α converter 9 may be directly rotated to the addition unit 5 . 316984 200540437 The year is US ^ Although converter 9 shows that it is based on the resistance of R1 and R2, the other potential of the voltage resistance part 7 (also ': ,,', It is also possible to use the potential of each connection point of the resistor.) At this time, or the path adjacent to the addition section 5 other than It is clocked at only the D / α converter 9 and the weighing device 4, and is set to decay. The attenuator of / minimum reduction can either replace the amplifier that is slow or use the output of the converter 5 and the converter 9 and then perform the addition. The output of the converter 9 is also attenuated. In addition, it can also be used to replace the lower output. Bit-wise converter 9 and the same as the voltage divider resistor section ^ ,, A to rgr. _ 8 W Sample, it is also possible to set up the structure of W 1 / ΒΕΙ Basui resistor section and a plurality of multiplexers .... Each of the knives and the second adding unit 5 and the amplifier 6 can also be constituted by an adding circuit constituted by a resistor and an operating amplifier. Moreover, instead of providing the amplification circuit 6, it can also be constructed by the adding unit 5. 4. Adding unit multiplexer 8. Buffer. In addition, although the D / A converter 9, Lu 5, amplifier 6 are displayed. Structure, however, it is also possible to set the structure to output the reference voltage to the DUT 10 by 3 '.
