Abstract

A technique for distributing power to a plurality of dies uses a probe card. The probe card can include a plurality of regulators, each regulator accepting a bulk power input and producing a regulated output. The regulated output can be controlled by a programmable controller that accepts a tester-controlled power input and adjusts the regulated outputs as a function of the tester-controlled power input.
