Discrete Component Testing

  1. Static current test: With the IC under no load and no oscillation at a specific voltage, an ammeter is connected between the positive terminal of the power supply and the IC's VDD. The resulting reading on the ammeter represents the static current of the IC.
  2. Driven current test: At a predetermined voltage, the IC's load is substituted with an adjustable resistor. The IC is then activated, and during output, the resistance is adjusted to align the IC's output level with the specified test requirements.
