TEST CONDITIONS
The DSP is tested for output enable, disable, and hold time.
OUTPUT DISABLE TIME
Output pins are considered to be disabled when they stop driv-
ing, go into a high impedance state, and start to decay from their
output high or low voltage. The time for the voltage on the bus
to decay by ΔV is dependent on the capacitive load, CL, and the
load current, IL. This decay time can be approximated by the
following equation.
The output disable time tDIS is the difference between
tMEASURED and tDECAY as shown in Figure 19. The time tMEA- SURED is the interval from when the reference signal switches to
when the output voltage decays ΔV from the measured output
high or output low voltage. The tDECAY is calculated with test
loads CL and IL, and with ΔV equal to 0.5 V.
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 driv-
ing. The output enable time tENA 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 the Output Enable/Disable diagram (
Figure 19). If multiple
pins (such as the data bus) are enabled, the measurement value
is that of the first pin to start driving.
EXAMPLE SYSTEM HOLD TIME CALCULATION
To determine the data output hold time in a particular system,
on Page 51. Choose ΔV to be the difference between the output
voltage of the ADSP-21992 and the input threshold for the
device requiring the hold time. A typical ΔV will be 0.4 V. CL is
the total bus capacitance (per data line), and IL is the total leak-
age or three-state current (per data line). The hold time will be
tDECAY plus the minimum disable time (i.e., tDATRWH for the
write cycle).
