Limit Tests

Auto-Clear timing — The following example timing diagram (Figure 10-7) and discussion
explain the relationship between the digital output lines for auto-clear.
Initially, the four digital output lines are cleared (in this case, they are all set high). Limit tests
start when the start-of-test (SOT) pulse is received from the component handler. When the test-
ing process is finished, the pass or fail pattern is applied to the digital output. As shown in the
diagram, lines 2, 3, and 4 go low while line 1 remains high.
The pulse width (delay) of the pass/fail pattern can be set from 0 to 60 sec (10µsec resolution)
as required by the component handler. Note that the delay specifies the pulse width of line 4. The
pulse width of lines 1, 2, and 3 is actually 20µsec longer. Line 4 is skewed because it is used as
the end-of-test (EOT) strobe by category register component handlers. Lines 1, 2, and 3 establish
the bit pattern and then 10µsec later the SOT strobe “tells” the handler to read the bit pattern and
perform the binning operation. This 10µsec offset is used to make sure the correct bit pattern is
read by the handler.
After the pass/fail is read by the handler, the digital output returns to the clear pattern.

* With the SOT line being pulsed low (as shown), /START TEST must be the selected arm
event for the trigger model. If the SOT line is instead pulsed high by the handler, START
TEST must be the selected arm event.
