6 Parameter Measurement Information

Phase relationships between waveforms were chosen arbitrarily for the examples listed in the following table. All input pulses are supplied by generators having the following characteristics: PRR ≤ 1MHz, ZO = 50Ω, tt < 2.5ns, Vt = 1.5V. For push-pull outputs, RL = 500Ω.

The outputs are measured individually with one input transition per measurement.
