Specs 1 A565 System Specification

Notes:

1. This specification is the MASTER reference specification for the A565Analog VLSI Test system. It contains the specifications that definethe proper conditions for the system instrumentation specifications.

The information in this document supersedes any similar information inearlier dated individual instrument ESSD's, or other Teradynedocumentation.

2. Specifications assume no unusual environmental conditions, e.g.:rapid rate of temperature change, thermal gradients, drafts.

3. Specifications are checked by Teradyne supplied procedures. Othermethods may yield different results.

4. All specifications subject to change without notice.

5. NOMINAL values refer to calculated values for specifiedquantities without incorporating variations due to tolerances.Nominal values are supplied as guidelines and are not guaranteed.

6. TYPICAL values refer to measured values for specified quantitieswhich have been determined based upon a limited sample of systems.Typical values are supplied as guidelines and are not guaranteed.

7. This is the period of time that System power must be continuouslyapplied before Instrumentation Auto-Calibration is performed inorder for Instrumentation to be guaranteed to meet specification.

System power must be continuously applied during this period, and allsystem covers must be properly in place and closed.

8. Inrush current value applies for one half line cycle, decreasingin amplitude to Steady State Line Current Value within 10 cycles.

9. Power Supply should be set for the 'Nominal Voltage', but is allowedto be within the indicated 'Limits'."Ripple & Noise" (PARD) is the combination of AC ripple & power supplyswitching noise. See the applicable note to determine where thisparameter should be measured."Current" indicates the maximum available current for the particularsupply, and is used as reference only. No measurements are done."Power Supply Reference" refers to location and/or power supplyreference number.

10. Voltage measurements for this supply are made at the Sense pins onthe Power Supply molex connector. Pin 1 is +, pin 4 is -.Ripple & Noise measurements are made at the Force pins (studs).Use a differential scope w/ two X10 probes. Scope should bebandwidth limited to 20MHz. CONSULT THE A565 SERVICE MANUAL FORA DETAILED EXPLANATION ON HOW TO MEASURE NOISE & RIPPLE.

11. This supply should be measured at the PACS backplane terminals.(+) at J14, and (-) at Power Ground Stud.

12. These voltages and noise measurements are made at the Analog DCDistribution Bus located on the right side(Operator) of the cabinet.

13. Power Supply should be set for the "Nominal Voltage", but is allowedto be within the indicated "Limits"."Ripple & Noise" (PARD) is the combination of AC ripple & power supplyswitching noise.These parameters are measured at the Analog backplane in the test head,at Slot 22 on the indicated pin numbers. First number is the groundreference. (Note these measurements can be made at ANY Analog Channelcard slot for those configurations that have a Channel Card locatedin Slot 22)"Current" indicates the maximum available current for the particularsupply, and is used as reference only.

Specs 3 Advanced Time Measurement Subsystem

Notes:

Note A Specification supported after TMS autocalibration.

Note 1 The accuracy of a time measurement is a function of many sourcesof error. These errors are characteristics of the TMS timer, inputchannel selected, and input signal. They are listed (see referencedspecifications for individual parameter values):

TMS Base Timer Specifications:RESL = Resolution = quantization error (1.1.2)TBE = Time Base Error = Gain error (1.1.3)TJTTR = Timer Jitter = Random error (1.1.4)

Front End Specifications:PLE = Time meas. offset (skew) = PLE (start) + PLE (stop)FJTTR = Front End Jitter = Random errorTLE = Trigger level error at selected input

= Gain errorEn = Analog noise voltage at the front end

= Random error

Absolute uncertainty calculations need to combine each source ofgain, offset, random, and quantization error for the measurement.In many cases, some error terms cancel or are negligible.For example: the 10 ps resolution spec is always negligible; the1 ppm Time Base Error does not add significant error to short timemeasurements; and trigger level errors will cancel in a periodtype measurement.

Please see the TMS section and appendix of the user's manual fora complete discussion of determining time measurement accuracy.

Note 2 Precounter must be counting events on the start channel to maintainprecounter accuracy. Similarly, the postcounter must be countingevents on the stop channel for its accuracy specification to hold.See the TMS section of the user's manual for TMS applicationswhich will reduce counter uncertainty to zero.

Note 5 This is a worst case specification which applies to free-running,asynchronous input signals. Counter will perform to +/-0 countsfor gated or synchronized signals.

Note:

1 Measurement resolution is determined by the system resource usedfor analog-to-digital conversion of the measurement bus signal.The standard system VM is the default converter used to capture ameasurement. Its specifications can be found in the standard DCsubsystem ESSD. In general, measurement accuracy is limited bygain and offset errors. Meter resolution is not a significantportion of the measurement uncertainty.

NOTES:

1. All measurement specifications apply with the filter on. Filtersettling time may be reduced by leaving the filter off until justbefore making a measurement. This is called "precharging". Timeto settle is typically <1 ms after precharging. Settling time isdependent on noise and signal variations and must be determined foreach application individually.

2. All specifications for voltage accuracy apply at the point theKelvin connection is made. In cases where the Kelvin connectionis made on the channel card rather than at the Device Under Test(DUT), there will be an additional voltage error term which isproportional to the current flowing. The resistance is specifiedfor the path between the channel card internal Kelvin point andthe Iso-Pin(TM).

3. Linear stations on the A520 are specified and checked as an A510.

4. The 100 V Voltmeter is only available when the UBVI100 is alsopresent in the configuration.

NOTES:

NOTE 1 Pulsed specifications are guaranteed for duty cycles less than 10%.Exceeding specifications may result in an instrument shutdownduring power pulse.

NOTE 2 Specification is guaranteed for an output current between 30%of full-scale and full scale.

NOTE 3 Sinking power quadrant programming conditions must not exceedeither the maximum current or the maximum power specification.Exceeding either parameter may result in permanent instrument damage.

NOTE 4 Measured over a 10 Hz to 1 MHz bandwidth.

NOTE 5 Measurement resolution is determined by the system resource usedfor analog-to-digital conversion of the measurement bus signal.The standard system VM is the default converter used to capturea measurement. Its specifications can be found in the standardDC subsystem ESSD. In general, measurement accuracy is limitedby gain and offset errors. Meter resolution is not a significantportion of the measurement uncertainty.

NOTE 6 Voltage clamp settling time depends on current programmingconditions. Typical numbers apply for a 20% overcurrent.

NOTE 7 The voltage/current compliance specification is defined asfollows. The current is the maximum current that may be programmedfor the specified duration without damaging the instrument.The voltage is supplied as a typical number for the maximumvoltage that can be sustained across the load with the maximumcurrent flowing.

1 Pulsed specifications are guaranteed for duty cycles less than 10%.Exceeding specifications may result in an instrument shutdownduring power pulse.

2 Optimum range means that the specification is guaranteed for aspecified portion of the voltage range.

3 Full range means that the specification is guaranteed for anyoutput voltage within the compliance range. The compliance range isnot the nominal range but a range between 0 and the specifiedcompliance.

4 The V/I compliance of forcing voltage source in the power sinkquadrant is limited by a load line of specified resistance.

5 Measured over a 10 Hz to 1 MHz Bandwidth.

6 Measurement resolution is determined by the system resource usedfor Analog-to-Digital conversion of the measurement bus signal.The standard system VM is the default converter used to capture ameasurement. Its specifications can be found in the standard DCsubsystem ESSD. In general, measurement accuracy is limited by gainand offset errors.

NOTES:

NOTE 1 Measurement resolution is determined by the system resource usedfor analog-to-digital conversion of the measurement bus signal.The standard system VM is the default converter used to capturea measurement. Its specifications can be found in the standardDC subsystem ESSD. In general, measurement accuracy is limitedby gain and offset errors. Meter resolution is not a significantportion of the measurement uncertainty.

NOTE 2 High Power Matrix pins must be programmed in parallel and connectedin parallel at the device area for currents greater than per-pinspecifications (up to the maximum spec listed).

NOTE 3 Pulsed specifications are guaranteed for duty cycles less than 10%with a period of less than 10 ms. Exceeding specifications may resultin permanent damage to relay contacts.

NOTE 4 Specifications apply from the input of the HPM to the end of thestandard linear delivery system or to the beginning of the AdvancedLinear/Advanced Mixed-Signal delivery system, whichever is appropriate.The test head delivery system begins at the SPS AL Disconnect Card.

NOTE 5 OVP may be disabled at user's discretion for reduced leakage, butthis is not currently implemented due to safety considerations.

Each channel can select either T0 or C0 as its cycle clock.This allows clock channels to operate at a higher rate thandata channels. Channels running on the C0 clock must be driveonly.

7.2 Edge Generation7.2.1 Timing Generators per Channel

Up to six edges can be active per cycle per channel. Severalof the edges have multiple functions depending on the modeselected for the channel.

D0 - go active and if format is complement surround alsogo to complement of the data.

D1 - go to the data value.D2 - if the format is a return format go to complement of the data.D3 - Go to HIZ or if the channel is in dual drive mode

go to the complement of the 2nd cycle's data.R1 - Open compare window edge or if the channel is in dual drive

mode, go to the 2nd cycle's data value.R2 - Close compare window or if the channel is in dual drive

mode and the format is a return format, go to the complementof the 2nd cycle's data value.

7.2.2 Timing Sets7.2.2.1 Number of timing sets 1023

There are 1023 global timing sets, TSETs. Each TSETnumber selects one of 32 sets of timing per channel, anedge set. Each edge set has unique timing information foreach channel's six edges. TSETs can be changed on the flyon each vector.

7.2.2.2 Selectable masking of any edge7.2.2.3 Repeat of the previous timing set within a pattern7.2.3 Formatting Capabilities

Each channel can be independently programmed for one of threeformatting modes: Normal I/O, Single Cycle I/O, and dual drive.

7.2.3.2 Single Cycle IO Mode Formats "io_midband and io_valid"

Each cycle contains both drive and compare edges.There is no required sequence to the order of the driveportion of the cycle to the compare portion of the cycle.In IO mode return to HIZ is the default format.

The edge assignments are the same as the I/O Mode.

All of the formats listed for the I/O mode can be usedin IO mode.

Due to a limit in the number of pattern data bits there aretwo sets of formats. One supports testing logic outputs andthe other digital signal outputs. To test a logic pin theio_midband format is selected. In this mode all expect patterncodes are supported with the exception of the valid expectcode.

7.3 Pass/Fail GenerationPass/Fail status will be generated for each compare cycle thathas a R2 edge. In cases where the R2 edge is masked the pass/fail result is not determined until a cycle that closes thecomparison window with a R2 edge occurs. All other cyclesgenerate a default "Pass" status. A compare cycle will

generate a pass if the input to the digital channel is in astable state for the entire comparison window and the state ofthe input matches the vector's expected state.

HIGH = Above the high comparator (VOH) andabove the low comparator (VOL).

LOW = Below VOH and below VOL.MIDBAND = Below VOH and above VOL.LOGIC = Above VOH or below VOL.

7.4 Logic Signal GenerationThe logic level detected at the comparator is generatedfor every channel for every comparison cycle. The logic signalwill be a logic 1 if the input to the channel's comparator isnot below the low comparator, VOL, at any time during the comparisonwindow.

If the channel's input was below the low comparator forthe entire comparison window, a logic 0 value is returned.

The ambiguity of whether the channel was high during the entirecomparison window or a whether transition occurred canbe eliminated by using an expect valid pattern formatfor the vector of interest. If a transition occurs thepattern will fail.

Specs 15 High Speed Sampler

Notes:

1) Thermal tail compensation utilized.

2) AD928-03 unit driven from a source with output resistance <=50 ohms.

3) Applies after a minimum of 30 minute warm-up of the sampler control card inthe test head, and after a minimum 5 minute warm-up of the AD928 sampler frontend. Ambient temperature changes occurring after calibration may degrade DCoffset further. See DC offset drift specs (1.14.X).

4) dT refers to the change in ambient temperature between the timewhen DC offset calibration was performed and the time when the actualmeasurement was made on the DUT (in degrees centigrade).

5) Rsource is the parallel combination of the source resistance of thecircuitry driving the sampler front end and the input resistance ofthe sampler front end (typically 13 kohm). For example, assume theAD928-03 were driven from a DUT (or DIB circuit) having a 300 ohm outputresistance, and a 2 degree C temperature change was anticipated betweenthe time DC calibration was performed and the time the measured resultwas taken. This might be the case if the DC offset were not calibratedevery time the job was run. The worst case DC offset drift would be:

+/-(0.1 mV + ((0.3 mV *2) + (300*0.4e-6)*2)) = +/-0.94 mV

6) Aperture jitter is uncertainty in the timing position of where the inputsignal is sampled. Timing reference for the sampling event is thesystem 10 MHz reference (the reference supplied to the aux clock unit).The specification thus includes jitter of the aux clock unit. The DUT,DUT clock, and DIB-derived sampler clock (if used) can add to the totaljitter in a given application. These jitter components can be added tothe sampler jitter using a square-root-of-the-sum-of-the-squares type ofcalculation to determine total jitter

SDR means the user programmed strobe delay range, in nanoseconds.SWR means the user programmed sweep window range, in nanoseconds.CSR means the sampler clock slew rate, in volts per nanosecond.

7) Actual full scale ranges may be read back within the test program using thefunction tl_hfsc_get_sweep_window() or tl_hfsc_get_strobe_range().

8) Specification applies after autocalibration. Includes effects ofsweep linearity and sweep range accuracy. SWR means the user programmedsweep window range. For example, if the 300 ns sweep window range was

Page 76: spec_565

Version Date 9421 15–2

High Speed Sampler

Main Menu

chosen, the accuracy would be:+/-(0.5 ns + (300 ns * 0.0025) + (300 ns/600 us) * 300 ns) = +/-1.4 ns

Now, if a sweep resolution of 256 were used, the effective sampling ratewould be 256/300 ns, or 853 MHz. The time interval between samples wouldbe 1/853 MHz, or 1.17 ns. The accuracy of this time interval would be:

+/-((1.4 ns/300 ns) * 1.17 ns) = +/-5.4 ps

So the nominal size of each of the 255 time intervals would be 1.17 ns +/- 5.4 ps(that is, all intervals have the same nominal error). Note that timing jitter mayforce averaging techniques to be used to achieve the above accuracy.

9) Aperture delay is the time delay from the occurrence of a clock input tothe sampler to the actual point on the analog input waveform that issampled. The aperture delay variation is the unit-to-unit variationof the aperture delay (for the sampler front end unit). When severalsampler front end units are included on a DIB for a particular application,the aperture delay variation is sometimes referred to as the “skew”between the sampler front end units. The aperture delay variation canbe reduced to almost zero with a DIB-type deskew. This process generallyrequires that jumpers be manually placed into the DUT socket during thedeskew procedure. Limitations on the accuracy of this deskew are imposedby timing jitter, noise, and equal path length wiring techniques on theDIB. Deskew to a level of +/-75 ps has been demonstrated.

10) The strobe signal from the master controller is distributed to each samplerfront end using a buffer located on the DIB. Relative skew of this bufferis not included in this specification.

11) The strobe signal for each sampler front end comes directly from the samplercontrol card. Only one front end is connected to each sampler control card.

12) The actual effective sampling rate in sweep mode depends on the userprogrammed sweep window and sweep increment resolution:

eff. samp. rate = (sweep inc. res./sweep window)

In step mode, the effective sample rate depends on the user programmedsample clock frequency and the DUT clock frequency, and therefore isonly limited by the sampler ref clock divider range. See the User Manualfor methodology used to compute the effective sample rate.

13) For sweep increment resolution programmed to 4, the sweep window is limitedto less than 1.5 us. For sweep increment resolution programmed to 2, thesweep window is limited to less than 640 ns.

14) The strobe repetition period must always be at least 2.25 times longerthan the sweep_window or the strobe_range to achieve specified linearity.In sweep mode, if sweep_resolution is smaller than 4096, the stroberepetition period must be further increased by a factor of

(sweep_res)/(sweep_res-1)

15) When using the system aux clock at frequencies in the range of 200 MHz to250 MHz to provide the clock for the sampler, the aux clock amplitude

Version Date 9421 15–3

High Speed Sampler

must be programmed in the range of 0 dB to -7 dB. Cable losses prohibitthe use of the -8 dB and -9 dB settings.

16) The risetime specification of 350 ps corresponds to a 10% to 90% risetime.Verification of this specification is performed at the 20% to 80% pointswith a 221 ps test limit.

17) The range beyond 1.0 V is still usable with reduced linearity specifications.

18) The DC accuracy of the AD706-00 can be calibrated to the accuracy of the AD928-XXusing a simple gain correction.

19) Spec only guaranteed when used with Teradyne AD706-00 compatible configurationboards.

20) Spec valid for a 50 ohm source impedance. Lower source impedances will yield a moreextreme DC offset.

Specs 17 High Voltage Digital Card (HVDC)

The HVDC is high voltage digital version of the A5 HSD digital. It is compati-ble with the existing A5 HSD channel cards but contains a rider board whichallows a high voltage digital mode. For the HSD equivalent specifications, con-sult the HSD-50. The specifications listed below cover the additional specifica-tions of the HV Digital Card in used through the high voltage rider board.

0.1 High Voltage DigitalCard Key Features

• High Voltage Digital channel card is equivalent to the A5 HSD channelcards but contains a HV digital rider which can provide up to eight chan-nels of 27 V digital drive and 48 V digital compare capability.– Each HV Digital Card pin can be used as either a HV pin or a standard

HSD pin.– Each HV Digital Card pin is provides high voltage I/O.

• No change in DIB Pogo pin assignments for HSD digital pins in normal orextended mode

• No extra relays on the DIB - all switching is done on the HV Digital Cardrider card.

• Up to 64 HV Digital Card pins on the A565 or A567• Simple, familiar programming in the IMAGE environment.• The HV digital card has three high voltage modes of operation:

– HV voltage drive only mode (hv_drv)– HV drive-receive mode (hv_drv_rcv) mode for I/O– HV receive only mode (hv_rcv) – note below that this mode has higher

bandwidth and short circuit protection.

Specs 18 IF Modulated Source

NOTES:

1) All Specifications apply at the DIB "blind mate" RF connector.

2) All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any load and will compensate the output levelto achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectral purityspecifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms.

3) Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is NOTdisabled (level:none is NOT selected).

4) Level Accuracy < 10 dBm = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step AttenuatorRelative Accuracy + Fine Attenuator RelativeAccuracy + Mismatch Errors @ DUT.

- Only count error sources that are used, @ 10 dBm do not counteither Step or Fine Attenuator errors, at 1 dB Step incrementsdo not count Fine Attenuator, and so on.

Level Accuracy > 10 dBm = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + >10 dBm RelativeAccuracy + Mismatch Errors @ DUT.

5) All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

6) TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, NOT 100% tested and areNOT guaranteed.

7) NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100% testedand are NOT guaranteed.

8) Section 3 applies when the optional IF Modulated Source capability ispresent. This requires the use of the VHFAWG as the fundamental modulatedsignal source. See the VHFAWG ESSD for detailed specifications coveringthe conditions applicable to the IF Modulated Source as noted in this ESSD.

9) Items 3.6-3.9 are measured at output carrier frequencies of 5 MHz, 45 MHz,90 MHz, 110 MHz, 150 MHz, and 180 MHz.

10) Items 3.6.3, 3.7.1, and 3.7.2 above have no limitations otherthan waveform resolution (12 bits) and sampling criteria outlined insections 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 of the VHFAWG ESSD.

11) Digital modulation types measured for 5 MHz output frequency. Resultsare calculated from 256 symbols.

Specs 20 Low Current Ammeter

Notes:

1. Instrument specifications are valid at the system isopins on A5systems with AL or AMS test heads. For systems with PATH test heads,the specifications are valid at the configuration board.

2. Certain tests require the connection of external equipment orthe use of wired paths between the instrument I/O and the DUT site.

3. The use of Teflon isolated isopads (Teradyne p/n 464-533-00 orequivalent), low noise triaxial cable (Coaxco p/n 33-1009 Yellowor equivalent) and low current/low noise wiring techniques ismandatory on all fixturing external to the board on A5 systems.In general, the signal node must be surrounded by driven shieldand guarded where necessary to prevent leakage and noise.

4. The term “PLC” refers to one power line cycle of 1/60 Hz (16.67 ms)or 1/50 Hz (20.00 ms) duration depending on line frequency.

5. Low current measurements are significantly influenced by fixturingand measurement methodology. Fixturing must employ low current/low noise wiring techniques to limit the influence of externalelectrical and mechanical perturbations on the signal. Certainmeasurement techniques make possible the removal of offsets andsystematic fixturing effects. Consult the appropriate Teradyneapplications note for a discussion of low current fixturing andmeasurement techniques.

6. When used as an extension, insertion accuracy (IA) of the LCA mustbe combined with the accuracy of the instrument serving as thesource or measurement device.

7. The Low Current Ammeter is usable in the following versions ofIMAGE and Solaris operating systems on A5 systems:

IMAGE V5.0 to IMAGE V6.2.ir1 - SunOS 4.4.1 and earlierIMAGE V6.3 and IMAGE V6.3.y2k - SunOS 4.4.1 and earlier and Solaris 2.5.1IMAGE V6.4 - SunOS 4.4.1 and Solaris 2.5.1

Specs 23 Microwave Source

NOTES:

1) All Specifications apply at the DIB "blind mate" RF connector.

2) All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any load and will compensate the output levelto achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectral purityspecifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms.

3) Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is NOTdisabled (level:none is NOT selected).

4) Level Accuracy < 10 dBm = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step AttenuatorRelative Accuracy + Fine Attenuator RelativeAccuracy + Mismatch Errors @ DUT.

- Only count error sources that are used, @ 10 dBm do not counteither Step or Fine Attenuator errors, at 1 dB Step incrementsdo not count Fine Attenuator, and so on.

Level Accuracy > 10 dBm = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + >10 dBm RelativeAccuracy + Mismatch Errors @ DUT.

5) All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

6) TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, NOT 100% tested and areNOT guaranteed.

7) NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100% testedand are NOT guaranteed.

8) Section 3 applies when the optional IF Modulated Source capability ispresent. This requires the use of the VHFAWG as the fundamental modulatedsignal source. See the VHFAWG ESSD for detailed specifications coveringthe conditions applicable to the IF Modulated Source as noted in this ESSD.

9) Items 3.6-3.9 are measured at output carrier frequencies of 5 MHz, 45 MHz,90 MHz, 110 MHz, 150 MHz and 180 MHz.

10) Items 3.6.3, 3.7.1, and 3.7.2 above have no limitations otherthan waveform resolution (12 bits) and sampling criteria outlined insections 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 of the VHFAWG ESSD.

Specs 24 Octal V/I Source

NOTES:

1 All system metering specifications apply with the system meter filter on.

2 All specifications for voltage accuracy apply at the point the Kelvin (forceto sense) connections are made. Voltage accuracy only applies when there isonly one point of connection for each OVI channel High and Low Sense. Allspecifications for current accuracy apply to the current flow from the OVIHigh Force signal.

3 V/I = Voltage Forcing / Current ForcingVprog = Programmed Voltage of SourceVrange = Voltage Range of SourceIprog = Programmed Current Clamp of SourceIrange = Current Range of SourceVCM = Common-mode voltage, absolute voltage between Low Sense and Analog

Ground, measured in voltsVhigh = absolute maximum of either VCM or (the High Force voltage with respect

to either the Low Force voltage OR the Analog Ground voltage), measuredin volts

Rload = Resistance of the Load, measured from High Sense to Low Sense

4 Modulation accuracy does not include errors due to modulation source. The netDC accuracy while modulating is found by summing the modulation accuracy of theOVI and the appropriate forcing accuracy specification of the source ofmodulation.

5 Area of specified performance is defined by:*Range* = extent of programmability for forced or metered parameter*Maximum Output* = boundary condition for specified operation of instrument*Maximum Allowable* = absolute maximum rating to which instrument can be

subjected; specifications are not applicable at this operating point.

6 Scaled output slew rate is the output of the THADS buffer divided bythe attenuation.

7 Instrument shutdown is a hardware protection feature. Repeatedly driving theinstrument into shutdown will reduce reliability.

8 Current forcing accuracy specifications apply when the actual instrumentcurrent flow is the same sign as the programmed current.When sourcing currents from the instrument, Iprog >= 0.0When sinking currents into the instrument, Iprog < 0.0

9 Maximum allowable resistance includes the interface to the device up to

NOTES:

NOTE 1This specification covers the PALDCC itself, the cable to the system,the connector from that cable to the PALDCC and the Pogo pinconnections between the PALDCC and the Configuration board.

NOTE 2Resistance numbers apply from the bulkhead connector (but not includingthe contact resistance itself) to the Pogo pad on the configurationboard.

NOTE 3Holdoff voltage applied with force, sense, and guard for a pin connectedtogether. If multiple force connections are present, they are allconnected together. All other pins are tied to ground.

NOTE 4Throughout this document PALDCC is an acronym for Power Advanced LinearDisconnect Card.

NOTE 5The term “non-switching” is used in this document to refer to a state inwhich the relays are closed and no instantaneous power is dissipatedin the relay; “hot-switching” the relays is damaging and reduces thelifetime of the instrument.

NOTE 6This specification or feature does not apply to the PVIDCC.

0. Power V/I Features

0.1 The Power V/I can be multiplexed up to 4 stations.

0.2 The A510 Mainframe can support up to two POWER V/I's consistingof two power V/I card sets, associated support cards, and power supplymodules.

0.3 The Power V/I can be connected to the AC Sub-System and the DeltaBus and modulated for ripple rejection tests on high-power devices.

0.4 The Power V/I is completely electrically isolated from the A510 testsystem. All voltages and currents are generated with respect to thePOWER V/I chassis and signal ground, and are floated from the A510system ground. (Power V/I signal ground is connected to common floatingpower return).

0.5 The Power V/I is a "pseudo" four-quadrant supply operating in quadrantsI and IV. Operation in quadrants II and III is achieved by outputpolarity switching using relays.

0.6 The Power V/I incorporates four alarms per POWER V/I source. All alarmsare monitored by the A510 system software.

0.6.1 Clamp Alarm - real time output monitor alarm0.6.2 Thermal Alarm - latched0.6.3 Setup Alarm - latched relay hot-switching prevention alarm0.6.4 Rail Fail Alarm - real time raw DC supply failure alarm

0.7 The Power V/I has three user-selectable loop speeds; fast, normal, andslow.

0.8 The Power V/I's can be parallel connected or serial connected.

0.9 The Power V/I has two modes of operation; high compliance mode and lowcompliance mode. Low compliance mode is used for high current at lowvoltages and high compliance mode is used for low current at highvoltages.

0.10 The Power V/I has user-selectable output impedance when the pwrsrc isgated off. The user can specify either ZOUT = high to force zeroamps, or ZOUT = low to force zero volts.

7. Operating RegionAllowable regions of operation: (Note 4)

The attached graphs depict the allowable areas of operation of the source.Note that in some regions the Power V/I's output must be pulsed to limitpower dissipation of the source. (See Figures 1 thru 18.)

7.1 Duty cycle and pulse width limitationsThe duty cycle and pulse width limits indicated are typical maximums.Exceeding these limits may cause the thermal protection circuitry toshut down the source.

7.2 DC operationDC operation is guaranteed for -1 A < Io < 1 A and -50 V < Vo < 50 V.This particular operating region is not shown on the plots.

7.3 Nominal power dissipation limits (Note 2)The attached graphs (Figures 1 thru 18) apply for operation of asingle Power V/I source. In cases where two Power V/I sources areactive, the power dissipation of both sources together must not exceed265 Watts. In mathematical terms:

[Ps (pwrsrc 1) + Ps (pwrsrc 2)] <= 375 W

Notes:

1) Extended calibration must be enabled to achieve the stated specificationsfor THD. If extended calibration is off, the THD specifications are degradedby 10 dB.

2) The tl_plfs_get_amp_filt() function is only valid for amplitude < 7.24 Vpk.Therefore, for amplitude > 7.24 Vpk, only the wider amplitude specificationsapply.

3) Spectral Impurities include only non-harmonically related spectralcomponents.

4) Notation Notes:+ = arithmetic sumor = greater value of++ = rms sumVpk = programmed amplitudeVbl = programmed dc baseline

5) All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

6) TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, are NOT 100% tested, and areNOT guaranteed.

7) NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100% tested,and are NOT guaranteed.

Notes:

1) Voltages at the DIB may not exceed +/-200 V peak and currents may not exceed+/-1 A or test system damage may occur.

2) For safety reasons, the 1000 V DCV and ACV meter ranges are not supported bythe IMAGE test language and their use is specifically locked out. They arenot tested.

MEASUREMENT OF VOLTAGES GREATER THAN 200 V MAY RESULT IN TEST SYSTEM DAMAGE.

3) Accuracy Specifications are a function of the quantity being measured and theselected meter range. DC accuracy specifications are therefore expressed as<ppm of reading> + <ppm of range>. AC accuracy specifications are expressedas <% of reading> + <% of range>.

Accuracy specifications may be degraded depending on the meter's temperaturewhen making a measurement relative to its temperature when last externallycalibrated. Further degradation may occur as noted for each measurement mode;e.g., when using a 2-wire configuration instead of a 4-wire configuration forresistance measurements or when measuring non-sinusoidal AC signals.

4) Guaranteeing Meter AccuracyMeter accuracy depends heavily on three items:

(1) The time elapsed since the meter's internal standards werecalibrated against external references (a process known as externalcalibration),(2) The time elapsed since the meter was autocalibrated,(3) The internal temperature of the meter relative to its internaltemperature when last externally calibrated (TXCAL), and when lastautocalibrated (TACAL). (The meter may be interrogated for thesetemperatures.)

4.1) Elapsed Time Since Last External CalibrationSpecifications for DC Volts, DC Current, and Resistance all assumethat no more than 90 days have elapsed since the last externalcalibration. Specifications for AC Volts assume that no more than2 years have elapsed since the last external calibration.

4.2) Elapsed Time Since Last AutocalibrationAll specifications assume that no more than 24 hours have elapsedsince the last autocalibration.

4.3) Meter Temperature For Basic Accuracy SpecificationsBasic meter accuracy specifications for DCV, DCI, and OHMS modes assume

Page 144: spec_565

Version Date 9536 29–2

Precision Multimeter

Main Menu

that the meter temperature at time of measurement is within 1 degree Cof TACAL and within 5 degrees C of TXCAL.

Basic meter accuracy specifications for ACV and ACDCV modes assume thatthe meter temperature at time of measurement is within 1 degree C ofTACAL.

4.4) "With ACAL" Temperature CoefficientsFor DCV, DCI, and OHMS modes, a set of "with ACAL" tempco's is provided.They apply only when the meter's operating temperature is still within1C of TACAL but more than 5C away from TXCAL. To use the "with ACAL"tempco's, determine the absolute difference between TXCAL and themeter's operating temperature, subtract 5C, multiply the tempco by thatnumber, and add the result to the PMM's basic accuracy specification.

4.5) "Without ACAL" Temperature CoefficientsFor DCV, DCI, and OHMS modes, a set of "without ACAL" tempco's isprovided. They apply only when the meter's operating temperature is notwithin 1C of TACAL and not within 1C of TXCAL. To use the "withoutACAL" tempco's, determine the absolute difference between TXCAL and themeter's operating temperature, multiply the tempco by that number, andadd the result to the basic PMM accuracy specification.

4.6) ACV and ACDCV Mode Temperature CoefficientsFor ACV and ACDCV modes, the tempco's given apply only when the meter'soperating temperature is beyond 1C of TACAL but within 5C of TACAL;TXCAL is irrelevant. To use them, determine the difference between themeter's operating temperature and TACAL, multiply the tempco by thatnumber, and add the result to the PMM's basic accuracy specification.Operation beyond 5C of TACAL is not specified.

Notes:

Note 1 Instrument specifications are valid at the top of the DIB.

Quad Opamp Channel Card Features1. Quad Opamp Channel Card Loops

1.1 Test Head HardwareThis channel card requires a single slot, and may be operated inAdvanced Linear, PATH and Advanced Mixed Signal test heads in any ofthe linear slots.

1.2 ExpandabilityFour loops allow the testing of up to four opamps in parallel.Up to four quad opamp channel cards can be employed in parallelper test head for a total of 16 opamps to be tested in parallel.

2. Quad Opamp Channel Card Basic Functions

2.1 Modes- Continuity

Employs fixed low value, constant current, variable voltage sourcesto be connected to DUT inputs and output. Subsequent compliancevoltage readings are used to detect device pin continuity.

- InternalThe DUT is placed in a closed loop fixed gain configurationwith programmable frequency compensation to allow theonboard measurement of input Vos and Output voltage. No loopcomponents external to the quad opamp channel card are requiredin this mode.

- ExternalThe user employs feedback divider resistors external to the quadopamp channel card, and close to the DUT, to place the DUT in aclosed loop fixed gain configuration, with programmablefrequency compensation, to allow the onboard measurement ofinput Vos and Output voltage. This mode accommodates devices thatwould otherwise be unstable due to the lead length between the DUTinputs and the feedback divider. Compensation is programmed asin the Internal mode and Vos measurements are performed in thesame manner as with the Internal Mode. Open Loop and OscillationAlarms are detected as in the Internal Mode, but Continuity Modecan only be employed on those DUT pins that are directly connectedto the Quad Opamp Channel Card. Typically only the DUT output

Notes:

Note 1 Measurement resolution is determined by the system resource usedfor analog-to-digital conversion of the measurement bus signal.The standard system VM is the default converter used to capturea measurement. Its specifications can be found in the standardDC subsystem ESSD. In general, measurement accuracy is limitedby gain and offset errors. Meter resolution is not a significantportion of the measurement uncertainty.

Note 2 Depending on system type, the backplane connects to eitherAABUSII or M601 analog accessory bus, for measure bus ormod/wave/delta connections.

Note 3 Applies only to system types that include AABUSII.

Note 4 Applies only to system types that include M601 and its analogaccessory bus.

Specs 39 VHF Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Notes:

1) All specifications apply at the DIB "blind mate" RF connector. TheVHFAWG may also interface to the DIB via the channel card Pogo pin path.Specifications may be degraded when using the Pogo pin path.

2) All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any resistive load and will compensate the outputlevel to achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectralpurity specifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms when filtershigher than 10 MHz are selected, include the 80 - 200 MHz frequency range.

3) Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is NOTdisabled (level:none is NOT selected).

4) Amplitude Accuracy = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step Attenuator Accuracy+ Fine Amplitude Accuracy + Mismatch Errors

The error terms listed above are specified for each Frequency Range. TheAbsolute Accuracy applies only when next highest frequency filter from thefrequency being sourced is selected. Also, the Absolute Accuracy appliesonly to the Frequency Domain 80 MHz Filter, not the Time Domain 80 MHz Filter.

5) When sourcing a frequency of less than 100 kHz, the user should useLEVEL:SINE mode of level calibration and specify LEVEL_FREQ = 100kHz.

6) All specifications including those that are Frequency Range specific assumethat the waveform is stored in memory normalized to 12 bits full scale.

7) All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

8) TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, are NOT 100% tested and areNOT guaranteed.

9) NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100% tested,and are NOT guaranteed.

10) F(hfc) = Highest Frequency Component being sourced.

11) Sine Wave Spurious Responses are specified relative to the full scalesine wave signal in dBc down to levels of -10 dBm. Below -10 dBm, thespurious level is specified as a fixed power in dBm.

Specs 40 VHF Arbitrary Waveform Generator, 1 Meg

Notes:

1) All specifications apply at the DIB "blind mate" RF connector. TheVHFAWG may also interface to the DIB via the channel card Pogo pin path.Specifications may be degraded when using the Pogo pin path.

2) All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any resistive load and will compensate the outputlevel to achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectralpurity specifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms when filtershigher than 10 MHz are selected, include the 80 - 200 MHz frequency range.

3) Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is NOTdisabled (level:none is NOT selected).

4) Amplitude Accuracy = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step Attenuator Accuracy+ Fine Amplitude Accuracy + Mismatch Errors.

The error terms listed above are specified for each Frequency Range. TheAbsolute Accuracy applies only when next highest frequency filter from thefrequency being sourced is selected. Also, the Absolute Accuracy appliesonly to the Frequency Domain 80 MHz Filter, not the Time Domain 80 MHz Filter.

5) When sourcing a frequency of less than 100 kHz, the user should useLEVEL:SINE mode of level calibration and specify LEVEL_FREQ = 100kHz.

6) All specifications including those that are Frequency Range specific assumethat the waveform is stored in memory normalized to 12 bits full scale.

7) All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

8) TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, NOT 100% tested and areNOT guaranteed.

9) NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100% testedand are NOT guaranteed.

10) F(hfc) = Highest Frequency Component being sourced.

11) Sine Wave Spurious Responses are specified relative to the full scalesine wave signal in dBc down to levels of -10 dBm. Below -10 dBm, thespurious level is specified as a fixed power in dBm.

Notes:

1) All specifications apply at the DIB "blind mate" RF connector. TheVHFAWG may also interface to the DIB via the channel card Pogo pin path.Specifications may be degraded when using the Pogo pin path.

2) All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any resistive load and will compensate the outputlevel to achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectralpurity specifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms when filtershigher than 10 MHz are selected, include the 80 - 200 MHz frequency range.

3) Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is NOTdisabled (level:none is NOT selected).

4) Amplitude Accuracy = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step Attenuator Accuracy+ Fine Amplitude Accuracy + Mismatch Errors.

The error terms listed above are specified for each Frequency Range. TheAbsolute Accuracy applies only when next highest frequency filter from thefrequency being sourced is selected. For the 80 MHz filters, the AbsoluteAccuracy specification only applies to the Frequency Domain Filter, not theTime Domain Filter.

5) When sourcing a frequency of less than 100 kHz, use LEVEL:SINE mode of levelcalibration and specify LEVEL_FREQ = 100kHz.

6) All specifications including those that are Frequency Range specific assumethat the waveform is stored in memory normalized to 12 bits full scale.

7) F(hfc) = Highest Frequency Component being sourced.

8) Sine Wave Spurious Responses are specified relative to the full scalesine wave signal in dBc down to levels of -10 dBm. Below -10 dBm, thespurious level is specified as a fixed power in dBBm.

9) The VHFAWG 400 supports three different operating modes: AWG DC, AWG AC, andCW (sine). Specifications in sections 1 through 5 apply to the AWG DCmode. Specifications in sections 1 and 6 apply to the AWG AC mode andsections 1 and 7 apply to the CW (sine) mode.Both the AWG AC and CW modes are AC coupled signal paths from the waveformDAC with DC offset capability. The peak AC voltage is independent of thepeak DC offset.

Notes:

1. All guaranteed specifications apply at the DIB “blind mate” RF connectors.The amplitude accuracy specifications are typical specifications whenusing the Pogo pin path. See the frequency range sections (2 through 8) forthe amplitude accuracy specifications for the Pogo pin path.

The Sine Wave Harmonic, Sine Wave Spurious, Noise, and Step ResponseCharacteristics are all typical specifications, not guaranteed, when thePogo pin path is used.

2. All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any resistive load and will compensate the outputlevel to achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectralpurity specifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms when filtershigher than 10 MHz are selected, include the 80 -200 MHz frequency range.

3. Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is not dis-abled (level:none is not selected).

4. Amplitude Accuracy = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step AttenuatorAccuracy

+ Fine Amplitude Accuracy + Mismatch Errors

The error terms listed above are specified for each Frequency Range. TheAbsolute Accuracy applies only when next highest frequency filter from thefrequency being sourced is selected. Also, the Absolute Accuracy appliesonly to the Frequency Domain 80 MHz Filter, not the Time Domain 80 MHzFilter.

5. When sourcing a frequency of less than 150 kHz, the user should useLEVEL:SINE mode of level calibration and specify LEVEL_FREQ = 150kHz.

6. All specifications including those that are Frequency Range specificassume that the waveform is stored in memory normalized to 12 bits fullscale.

7. All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

8. TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, NOT 100% tested and are NOTguaranteed.

9. NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100%tested and are NOT guaranteed.

10. F(hfc) = Highest Frequency Component being sourced.

11. Sine Wave Spurious Responses are specified relative to the full scale sinewave signal in dBc down to levels of -10 dBm. Below -10 dBm, the spuriouslevel is specified as a fixed power in dBm.

12. The VHFAWG 400 supports three different operating modes: AWG DC,AWG AC, and CW (Sine). The restrictions are defined below:

– Specifications in section 1 apply to all three operating modes.– Specifications in sections 2 - 5 apply to the AWG DC Differential mode

(DC to 80 MHz).– Specifications in sections 2 - 6 apply to the AWG DC Single Ended mode

(DC to 160 MHz).– Specifications in section 7 apply to the AWG AC mode (5 MHz to 160

MHz).– Specifications in section 8 apply to the sine mode (80 MHz to 200 MHz).– Both the AWG AC and CW modes are AC coupled signal paths from the

waveform DAC with DC offset capability. The peak AC voltage is inde-pendent of the peak DC offset.

13. This revision of the VHFAWG Specification applies to the following boards:

– LA654 (mainframe card)– LA681 (channel card)

14. In differential mode (both DC and AC) the amplitude programming syntaxspecifies the amplitude with respect to the load connected to ground. If theload is connected differentially (between the A and C outputs) the power orvoltage delivered to the load is doubled to what was specified in the syntax.To deliver a +10 dBm signal into a differential load the programming state-ment should specify +4 dBm.

15. The spectral purity specifications are all specified with the load connectedto ground.

16. All sine wave spectral purity specifications (Harmonic, Non Harmonic, andNoise) are valid only when next highest filter from the frequency beingsourced is selected.

Notes:

1) For A5 type systems, all specifications apply at the DIB "blind mate" RFconnector. The VHFCW may also interface to the DIB via the channel cardPogo pin path. Specifications may be degraded when using the Pogo pin path.

For Catalyst systems, all specifications apply at the VHFCW_DIR Pogo pin.The VHFCW also interfaces to the DIB via the VHFCW_ALT Pogo pin.Specifications may be degraded when using the VHFCW_ALT Pogo pin.

2) All specifications assume a 50 ohm load. The software leveling calibrationallows the user to specify any load and will compensate the output levelto achieve the programmed level at the programmed load. Spectral purityspecifications may vary as the load varies from 50 ohms.

3) Level Accuracy specifications assume that software calibration is NOTdisabled (level:none is NOT selected).

4) Amplitude Accuracy = Absolute Accuracy @ 10 dBm + Step Attenuator Accuracy+ Fine Amplitude Accuracy + Mismatch Errors.

5) All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as TYPICAL or NOMINAL.

6) TYPICAL specifications are sample tested, are NOT 100% tested, and areNOT guaranteed.

7) NOMINAL specifications are generally calculated values, are NOT 100% tested,and are NOT guaranteed.

Notes:

1 All specifications apply at the DIB “blind mate” RF connector.

2 To calculate the incremental error of the IF output when moving fromone input level to another, include a 0.2 dB error for anyinput level change, and 0.05 dB for each dB away from the originalinput level.

For example, the down-converter input power is -5 dBm. It is decreasedby 3 dB. The output will decrease by 3 dB +/-(0.2 + 3*0.05 dB),or 3 dB +/-0.35 dB, from whatever level it was at.

To calculate the total error at the output for any input level,add 0.2 dB and then 0.05 dB for each dB below 10 dBm. For example,the input power is 0 dBm. The output power will be

0 dBm + VHFMM Down-conv. gain +/- (frequency response errors, see note 8)+/-(0.2 dB + (10-0)*0.05 dB)

3 The second harmonic distortion specification of the VHFMM can befound nominally by using the following formula:

Second Harmonic Dist.

< -(Value of 2nd Order Intercept - DUT Output Power + 9.5) dBc

To measure distortion lower than calculated above, add anattenuator on the DIB before the VHFMM input. This lowersthe signal level into the VHFMM. The new formula is

< -(Value of 2nd Order Intercept - (DUT Output Power - atten) + 9.5) dBc

where atten = loss of added attenuator

These formulas are only valid until the spurious and noise floorsare reached. See 4.2.4 below.

4 The third harmonic distortion specification of the VHFMM can befound nominally by using the following formula:

Third Harmonic Dist.

< -((Value of 3rd Order Intercept - DUT Output Power)*2 + 6) dBc

Page 228: spec_565

Version Date 9445 44–2

VHF Measure Module

Main Menu

To measure distortion lower than calculated above, add anattenuator on the DIB before the VHFMM input. This lowersthe signal level into the VHFMM. The new formula is

< -((Value of 3rd Order Intercept - (DUT Output Power - atten))*2 + 6) dBc

where atten = loss of an attenuator

These formulas are only valid until the spurious and noise floorsare reached. See 4.2.4 below.

5 These specifications are useful when an entire spectrum is capturedfrom the IF filter with a digitizer.

6 Signals with two tones can intermodulate in the IF amp as well asat the RF of the mixer. This specification separates out the IFcontribution. IF harmonics included are 2nd through 5th or 900 kHz,whichever is lower.

7 If spurious products interfere with measurement, tune input signalsone at a time to one IF frequency or retune to a new IF frequency.

8 Assuming Pi is the input power to the Down-converter, then Po,expressed below for different circumstances, is the value of theoutput power of the Down-converter including error introduced bythe VHFMM.

Generally:

Po = Pi + Nom. Gain +/- (Flatness + IF flatness + Rel. acc.)

(When IF=500 kHz then IF flatness = 0 dB)

RF freq. is varied between 5 MHz & 250 MHz. IF freq. = 500KHz:

Po = Pi + 2.7+/- (1.5 dB + 0.0 dB + [0.2 dB + 0.05 dB/dB*(10 dBm - Pi)])

RF is constant at 70 MHz. IF frequency is varied between100 kHz & 900 kHz:

Po = Pi + 3.2+/- (1.0 dB + 1.2 dB + [0.2 dB + 0.05 dB/dB*(10 dBm - Pi)])

RF is constant at 120 MHz. IF frequency is varied between400 kHz & 600 kHz:

Po = Pi + 2.4+/- (1.4 dB + 0.75 dB + [0.2 dB + 0.05 dB/dB*(10 dBm - Pi)])

Please note that the above expressions do not include all errorcontributions in a source and measure setup. For example, if theHFDIG is being used for measurement, its relevant specificationsmust be included in the above error expressions.
