Note that V
MEAS
includes the voltage drops of the input test leads (Input HI and
Input LO). Therefore, the actual voltage drop across the DUT is V
MEAS
minus the
two voltage drops in the test leads. Because matched inputs are used, the
voltage drop is 2 x V
LEAD
. Therefore:
V
DUT
= V
MEAS
- 2(V
LEAD
).
