Patent ID: 7343538

Claim:
A programmable module for automatic test equipment systems comprising: a programmable digital interface for transmitting and receiving digital data; a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) coupled to said digital interface; a plurality of digital-to-analog converters (DACs) coupled to said digital interface; a first relay for selectively coupling at least one of said ADCs and at least one of said DACs to a first filter bank; a second relay for selectively coupling at least one of said ADCs and at least one of said DACs to a second filter bank; a first source block and a first measure block coupled to said first filter bank and also coupled to an input/output switch matrix, and wherein said first filter bank is shared by said first source block and said first measure block; and a second source block and a second measure block coupled to said second filter bank and also coupled to said input/output switch matrix, and wherein said second filter bank is shared by said second source block and said second measure block.
