DC Characteristics
9.2 DC Characteristics
This section contains the dc characteristics for the 21264/EV67. The 21264/EV67 pins 
can be divided into 10 distinct electrical signal types. The mapping between these sig-
nal types and the package pins is shown in Chapter 3. Table 9–2 shows the signal types.
Tables 9–3 through 9–12 show the  dc switching characteristics of each signal type. 
Also, the following notes apply to Tables 9–3 to 9–12.
1. The differential voltage, Vdiff, is the absolute difference between the differential 
input pins.
2. Delta V
BIAS
  is defined as the open-circuit differential voltage on the appropriate 
differential pairs. Test condition for these inputs are to let the input network self 
bias and measure the open circuit voltage. The test load must be 
 1M ohm. In nor-
mal operation, these inputs are coupled with a 680-pF capacitor.
3. Functional operation of the 21264/EV67 with less than all VDD and VSS pins con-
nected is not implied.
4. The test load is a 50-ohm resistor to VDD/2. The resistor can be connected to the 
21264/EV67 pin by a 50-ohm transmission line of any length.
5. DC test conditions set the minimum swing required. These dc limits set the trip 
point precision.
6. Input pin capacitance values include 2.0 pF added for package capacitance.
