Current Projects

TC-10 is actively developing four major standards:  The revision of IEEE Std 1057-1994 (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).  Effort continues to persuade the IEC to adopt IEEE Std 181-2003 (Standard on Transitions, Pulses, and Related Waveforms).  The committee members reviewed the latest version of the working drafts of 1057, 1658, and 1241 at our May 2007 meeting in  Tucson, AZ, hosted by Texas Instruments.  Preliminary investigation into methods of characterizing high-frequency probes and their test fixtures continued at the May meeting to form the technical foundation for 1696.  A tutorial on ADC fundamentals, selection, test, and calibration was presented at IMtc2007 in Warsaw, Poland on April 30, 2007.  The  fall 2007 TC-10 meeting is scheduled for October 15 - 18, 2007 in Boston, MA (sponsored by LTX).  The winter meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 2008 in Colorado Springs, CO.
