TEST CONDITIONS
All timing parameters appearing in this data sheet were mea-
sured under the conditions described in this section. Figure 43
shows the measurement point for ac measurements (except out-
put enable/disable). The measurement point V
MEAS
is 1.5 V for
V
DDEXT
(nominal) = 3.0 V/3.3 V.
Output Enable Time Measurement
Output pins are considered to be enabled when they have made
a transition from a high impedance state to the point when they
start driving.
The output enable time t
ENA
is the interval from the point when
a reference signal reaches a high or low voltage level to the point
when the output starts driving as shown on the right side of Fig-
ure 44, “Output Enable/Disable,” on page 49.
The time t
ENA_MEASURED
is the interval from when the reference
signal switches to when the output voltage reaches V
TRIP
(high)
or V
TRIP
(low). V
TRIP
(high) is 2.0 V and V
TRIP
(low) is 1.0 V for
V
DDEXT
(nominal) = 3.0 V/3.3 V. Time t
TRIP
is the interval from
when the output starts driving to when the output reaches the
V
TRIP
(high) or V
TRIP
(low) trip voltage.
Time t
ENA
is calculated as shown in the equation:
If multiple pins (such as the data bus) are enabled, the measure-
ment value is that of the first pin to start driving.
Output Disable Time Measurement
Output pins are considered to be disabled when they stop driv-
ing, go into a high impedance state, and start to decay from their
output high or low voltage. The output disable time t
DIS
is the
difference between t
DIS_MEASURED
and t
DECAY
as shown on the left
side of Figure 44.
The time for the voltage on the bus to decay by V is dependent
on the capacitive load C
L
and the load current I
L
. This decay
time can be approximated by the equation:
The time t
DECAY
is calculated with test loads C
L
and I
L
, and with
V equal to 0.5 V for V
DDEXT
(nominal) = 3.0 V/3.3 V.
The time t
DIS_MEASURED
is the interval from when the reference
signal switches, to when the output voltage decays V from the
measured output high or output low voltage.
