Current Projects

TC-10 is actively developing and/or promoting five major standards: The revision of IEEE Std 181-2003 (Standard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms); the promotion of IEEE Std 1057-2007 (Standard for Digitizing Waveform Recorders); the revision of IEEE Std 1241-2000 (Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Analog-to-Digital Converters); the development of IEEE Std P1658 (Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Digital-to-Analog Converter Devices; and, the development of IEEE Std P1696 (Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Electronic Probes). The committee members reviewed work in progress on 1241, 1658, and 1696 at our February 2009 meeting in Tucson, AZ sponsored by Texas Instruments. Plans were made to start revising 181 and to coordinate it with the IEC. Ways to promote the new 1057 were considered. A potential new standard addressing jitter was also considered. The spring meeting will be held on at LTX-Credence in the Boston area during the first week of June 2009.
