Note: Oscillations below the reference voltage cannot be subtracted from the total overshoot/
undershoot pulse duration.
9.14.2 Overshoot/Undershoot Magnitude
Magnitude describes the maximum potential difference between a signal and its voltage
reference level. For the processor, both are referenced to V
SS
. Important: The
overshoot and undershoot conditions are separate and their impact must be
determined independently.
The pulse magnitude and duration must be used to determine if the overshoot/
undershoot pulse is within specifications.
9.14.3 Overshoot/Undershoot Pulse Duration
Pulse duration describes the total amount of time that an overshoot/undershoot event
exceeds the overshoot/undershoot reference voltage. The total time could encompass
several oscillations above the reference voltage. Multiple overshoot/undershoot pulses
within a single overshoot/undershoot event may need to be measured to determine the
total pulse duration.
Note: Oscillations below the reference voltage cannot be subtracted from the total overshoot/
undershoot pulse duration.
