Abstract

Limiting circuitry is disclosed. In one example, the limiting circuitry provides limited electric current and/or limited electric voltage for electrically testing at least one device under test. The limiting circuitry comprises a plurality of DC-DC-converters being connected in parallel to each other, each being provided with an electric input DC voltage and each being configured for providing a converted electric output current to be forwarded to an assigned one of electric contacts for contacting the at least one device under test. A control mechanism is configured for controlling the DC-DC-converters for limiting the electric output current and/or an electric output voltage which relates to said electric output current.
