skew clock distribution applications. In order to optimize
the device for this application special considerations are
necessary in the determining of the part−to−part skew
specification limits. Older standard logic devices are
specified with relatively slack limits so that the device can
be guaranteed over a wide range of potential environmental
conditions. This range of conditions represented all of the
potential applications in which the device could be used. The
result was a specification limit that in the vast majority of
cases was extremely conservative and thus did not allow for
an optimum system design. For non−critical skew designs
this practice is acceptable, however as the clock speeds of
systems increase overly conservative specification limits
can kill a design.
information provided in this data sheet to tailor a
part−to−part skew specification limit to their application.
The skew determination process may appear somewhat
tedious and time consuming, however if the utmost in
performance is required this procedure is necessary. For
applications which do not require this level of skew
performance a generic part−to−part skew limit of 2.5 ns can
be used. This limit is good for the entire ambient temperature
range, the guaranteed V
guaranteed operating frequency range.
Temperature Dependence
AC parameters are specified for a junction temperature
rather than the usual ambient temperature. Because very few
designs will actually utilize the entire commercial
temperature range of a device a tighter propagation delay
window can be established given the smaller temperature
range. Because the junction temperature and not the ambient
temperature is what affects the performance of the device the
parameter limits are specified for junction temperature. In
addition the relationship between the ambient and junction
temperature will vary depending on the frequency, load and
board environment of the application. Since these factors are
all under the control of the user it is impossible to provide
specification limits for every possible application.
Therefore a baseline specification was established for
specific junction temperatures and the information that
follows will allow these to be tailored to specific
applications.
measure directly, the first requirement is to be able to
“translate” from ambient to junction temperatures. The
standard method of doing this is to use the power dissipation
of the device and the thermal resistance of the package. For
a TTL output device the power dissipation will be a function
of the load capacitance and the frequency of the output. The
total power dissipation of a device can be described by the
following equation:
