1Speed
If high-speed testing is performed on LPDDR devices, then testing speed is improved, but operational voltage drops due to rapidly rising current demands, causing narrowed output strobe pass windows
Solution Approach 1:
The voltage stabilization circuit performs preliminary action by detecting voltage drops before they significantly impact the output strobe pass window and adjusting the voltage in advance to maintain stable operation during high-speed testing
Solution Approach 2:
The voltage stabilization circuit implements feedback by continuously monitoring the operational voltage of the DUT and dynamically adjusting the voltage level based on detected deviations, ensuring the output strobe pass window remains within acceptable ranges during high-speed testing

AI summary
A test system is disclosed. The test system includes a tester, a first voltage stabilization circuit, and a device under test (DUT). The tester generates a first operational voltage and a control signal. The first voltage stabilization circuit transmits a second operational voltage, associated with the first operational voltage, to a socket board. The DUT operates with the second operational voltage received through the socket board. The first voltage stabilization circuit is further configured to control, according to the control signal, the second operational voltage to have a first voltage level when the DUT is operating.
