4.4 Timing Relationship of Driver Card (D1) Data Pattern (Ch1) and
Receiver Card (R2) Group 1 LVTTL Data Out (Ch2)
Figure 4–4 shows the probe hookup and O-Scope output for Case 4. The
LVTTL data input goes to the SN74GTLPH1655 driving device A-port input,
and the LVTTL data output of the SN74GTL1655 receiving device goes to
A port in slot 2. Because the GTLP EVM is clocked using the central system
clock (i.e., clock arrives at all daughter cards at the same time) the total delay
from the LVTTL data input on slot 1 to the LVTTL data output on slot 2 is the
sum of one clock cycle (20 ns), the setup time on the driver card (∼9 ns), and
the propagation delay of the GTLPH1655 CLK to A of about 3 ns. The GTLP
EVM driver card is set up to transmit sixteen bits of data and then wait eight
cycles before transmitting again. This allows the technician to determine the
total delay. In this case, assuming the waveform in Ch1 had just started, the
total delay is about 32 ns.
