PRELIMINARY TECHNICAL DATA
TEST CONDITIONS
Output Disable Time
Output pins are considered to be disabled when they have
stopped driving and started a transition from the measured
output high or low voltage to a high impedance state. The
output disable time (t
DIS
) is the difference of t
MEASURED
and
t
DECAY
, as shown in
Figure 16
. The time is the interval from
when a reference signal reaches a high or low voltage level
to when the output voltages have changed by 0.5 V from the
measured output high or low voltage.
The decay time, t
DECAY
, is dependent on the capacitive load,
C
L
, and the current load, i
L
, on the output pin. It can be
approximated by the following equation:
from which
is calculated. If multiple pins (such as the data bus) are dis-
abled, the measurement value is that of the last pin to stop
driving.
Output Enable Time
Output pins are considered to be enabled when they have
made a transition from a high-impedance state to when they
start driving. The output enable time (t
ENA
) is the interval
from when a reference signal reaches a high or low voltage
level to when the output has reached a specified high or low
trip point, as shown in
Figure 16
. If multiple pins (such as
the data bus) are enabled, the measurement value is that of
the first pin to start driving.
