The driven line shall be terminatedaccording to one of the methods of figure A.2 with the specimen environment impedance. Unlessotherwise specified a 1:1 signal to ground

14、.2 Cable assemblyAssembled connectors and cables, and mated connectors.3.1.3 SocketsEIA-364-103Page 4A socket and test device or a socket and pluggable header adapter.4 Test procedureUnless otherwise specified the measurement system rise time shall be less than or equal to themeasured delay. The mea

15、surement system rise times specified in table 1 are recommended. Thethree techniques below apply to single-ended and differential measurements. For differentialmeasurements, it is necessary to determine whether any phase and/or amplitude errors existbetween the probe/channels and to provide necessar

16、y compensation for these errors so that eachstep arrives at the specimen simultaneously. Two measurements shall be performed as described in4.2 or 4.3 and the time difference recorded; see figure 2 and A.1. Unless otherwise specified, forall three techniques the delay shall be measured at both the 1

17、0% and 50% amplitudes. Place thespecimen a minimum of 5 cm from any object that would affect measured results.NOTES1 The test professional should be aware of limitations of any math operation(s) performedby an instrument, (e.g. normalization or software filtering).2 Specimen induced skew shall not b

18、e compensated. When skew is observed a waveformplot shall be provided.3 The input and output step amplitudes may not be equal due to attenuation in the deviceunder test. When this occurs, the output step 10% and 90% levels are to be referencedfrom the maximum output voltage, regardless of what volta

These reactances will have

This may involve the use of transmission lines inaddition to the components of figures A.1 and A.2. Most instruments used for thesemeasurements are int
