Timing Measurement Methodology
When measuring timing parameters at the programmable
I/Os, different signal standards call for different test
conditions. Table 25 lists the conditions to use for each
standard.
The method for measuring Input timing is as follows: A
signal that swings between a Low logic level of V
L
and a
High logic level of V
H
is applied to the Input under test.
Some standards also require the application of a bias
voltage to the V
REF
pins of a given bank to properly set the
input-switching threshold. The measurement point of the
Input signal (V
M
) is commonly located halfway between V
L
and V
H
.
The Output test setup is shown in Figure 8. A termination
voltage V
T
is applied to the termination resistor R
T
, the other
end of which is connected to the Output. For each standard,
R
T
and V
T
generally take on the standard values
recommended for minimizing signal reflections. If the
standard does not ordinarily use terminations (for example,
LVCMOS, LVTTL), then R
T
is set to 1MΩ to indicate an
open connection, and V
T
is set to zero. The same
measurement point (V
M
) that was used at the Input is also
used at the Output.
