To test the multiple-clock, multiple-edge, state acquisition
Testing the multiple-clock, multiple-edge, state acquisition verifies the performance
of the following specifications:
• Minimum master to master clock time.
• Maximum state acquisition speed.
• Setup/Hold time for multiple-clock, multiple-edge, state acquisition.
• Minimum clock pulse width.
This test checks data using multiple clocks at three selected setup/hold times.
