SET END_MEASURE_CYCLE TIME Timing Command Dictionary
• Each test procedure force event time on a non-clock pin corresponds to the
force_pi time in the super timeplate.
• The measure_sco time in the shift procedure, which defines when the scan
output measure should occur, is zero.
In some tester formats (such as UTIC), you can specify a separate timing
definition for the shift procedure. In this case, the timing rules checker does not
consider the shift procedure for compliance with the constraints listed earlier.
Arguments
• integer
An integer time value specifying the final test cycle length. This number must
match the period of the shift procedure.
Examples
The following example specifies a timing definition that satisfies all the
constraints described previously. Note that the end_measure_cycle time is greater
than the measure_po time. Note also the absence of capture clocks in the timeplate
definition. FastScan generates patterns without capture clocks for testing IDDQ
faults and observing clock faults at a primary output pin.
Assume the timing file contains the following commands:
SET TIME SCALE 1 ns;
SET END_MEASURE_CYCLE TIME 500; //matches period of shift
TIMEPLATE “tp4”
FORCE_PI 0;
BIDI_FORCE_PI 100;
WRITE_RAM_CLOCK_ON 200;
WRITE_RAM_CLOCK_OFF 300;
MEASURE_PO 400;
PERIOD 500;
