Patent ID: 11143700

Abstract:
An optic probe is used to measure signals from a device under test. The optic probe is positioned at a target probe location within a cell of the device under test, the cell including a target net to be measured and a plurality of non-target nets. A test pattern is applied to the cell with the optic probe a laser probe (LP) waveform is obtained in response. A target net waveform is extracted from the LP waveform by: (i) simulating a combinational logic analysis (CLA) cross-talk waveform to model cross-talk from selected non-target nets by simulating an optical response of the cell to the test pattern with the target net masked; (ii) estimating a cross-talk weight; and (iii) determining a target net waveform by weighting the CLA cross-talk waveform according to the cross-talk weight and subtracting the weighted CLA cross-talk waveform from the LP waveform.
