Laboratory

The laboratory of Ingenieurbuero Erckert is optimized for bench ealuation of analog and mixed circuit chips. Most of the equipment is connected to the LAN to control the measurements using computers. We are currently not able to run production testing.

figure 1: measurement of a "chaotic oscillator"

By the way, an interresting measurement. Creating real chaotic systems is very tricky and can be very useful to create random numbers. But the "chaotic multi furcal oscillator" was far less chaotic in measurements than in (the really promising) simulation. Sometimes truncation errors in the simulation can really fool the designer!
