Abstract
In one aspect, the invention is an integrated circuit (IC) for use in testing a device. The IC includes a pin electronics (PE) driver having an output and a pin. The IC also includes a buffer connected to the output of the PE driver and the pin. The first voltage measured at the pin is greater than a second voltage measured at the output. The IC may include a first amplifier having an input connected to a voltage source. The IC may also include a second amplifier having an input connected to the output of the PE driver.
