MAX9972_1110

19-0474; Rev 9; 10/11 Quad, Ultra-Low-Power, 300Mbps ATE Drivers/Comparators General Description The MAX9972 four-channel, ultra-low-power, pin-electronics IC includes, for each channel, a three-level pin driver, a window comparator, a passive load, and force-and-sense Kelvin-switched parametric measurement unit (PMU) connections. The driver features a -2.2V to +5.2V voltage range, includes high-impedance and active-termination (3rd-level drive) modes, and is highly linear even at low voltage swings. The window comparator features 500MHz equivalent input bandwidth and programmable output voltage levels. The passive load provides pullup and pulldown voltages to the device-under-test (DUT). Low-leakage, high-impedance, and terminate controls are operational configurations that are programmed through a 3-wire, low-voltage, CMOS-compatible serial interface. High-speed PMU switching is realized through dedicated digital control inputs. This device is available in an 80-pin, 12mm x 12mm body, 1.0mm pitch TQFP with an exposed 6mm x 6mm die pad on the bottom of the package for efficient heat removal. The MAX9972 is specified to operate over the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range, and features a die temperature monitor output.

All specifications are with DUT_ and PMU_ electrically isolated, unless otherwise noted. Nominal target value is 49.5Ω. Contact factory for alternate trim selections within the 45Ω to 55Ω range. Measured at 1.5V, relative to a straight line through 0 and 3V. Measured at end points, relative to a straight line through 0 and 3V. DUT_ is terminated with 50Ω to ground, VDHV_ = 3V, VDLV_ = 0, VDTV_ = 1.5V, unless otherwise specified. DATA_ and RCV_ logic levels are VHIGH = 2V, VLOW = 1V. Undershoot is any reflection of the signal back towards its starting voltage after it has reached 90% of its swing. Preshoot is any aberration in the signal before it reaches 10% of its swing. At the minimum voltage swing, undershoot is less than 20%. DHV_ and DLV_ references are adjusted to result in the specified swing. At this pulse width, the output reaches at least 90% of its nominal (DC) amplitude. The pulse width is measured at DATA_. With the exception of offset and gain/CMRR tests, reference input values are calibrated for offset and gain. Relative to a straight line through 0 and 3V. Unless otherwise noted, all propagation delays are measured at 40MHz, VDUT_ = 0 to 1V, VCHV_ = VCLV_ = +0.5V, tR = tF = 500ps, ZS = 50Ω, driver in term mode with VDTV_ = +0.5V. Comparator outputs are terminated with 50Ω to GND. Measured from VDUT_ crossing calibrated CHV_/CLV_ threshold to midpoint of nominal comparator output swing. Terminated is defined as driver in drive mode and set to zero volts. High impedance is defined as driver in high-impedance mode. VDUT_ = 200mVP-P. Propagation delay is compared to a reference time at 1.5V. The comparator meets all its timing specifications with the specified output conditions when the output current is less than 10mA, VCOMPHI > VCOMPLO, and VCOMPHI - VCOMPLO ≤ 1V. Higher voltage swings are valid but AC performance may degrade. The maximum comparator output swing is (COMPHI - COMPLO) ≤ 1V when the output is terminated with a 50Ω resistor to termination voltage VTERM, where COMPHI ≥ VTERM ≥ COMPLO. LOAD EN LOW = LOAD EN HIGH = 1. Waveform settles to within 5% of final value into load 100kΩ. IPMU_ = ±2mA at VFORCE_ = -2.2V, +1.5V, and +5.2V. Percent variation relative to value calculated at VFORCE_ = +1.5V. Time to return to the specified maximum leakage after a 3V, 4V/ns step at DUT_. Load at end of 2ns transmission line; for stability only, AC performance may be degraded. The driver meets all of its timing specifications over the specified digital input voltage range. Timing characteristics with VL = 3V. Specifications are simulated and characterized over the full power-supply range. Production tests are performed with power supplies at typical values. All channels driven at 3VP-P, load = 2ns, 50Ω transmission line terminated with 3pF. 8 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Quad, Ultra-Low-Power, 300Mbps ATE Drivers/Comparators Typical Operating Characteristics (TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted.)

Block Diagram 16 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Quad, Ultra-Low-Power, 300Mbps ATE Drivers/Comparators Detailed Description The MAX9972 is a four-channel, pin-electronics IC for automated test equipment that includes, for each channel, a three-level pin driver, a window comparator, a passive load, and a Kelvin instrument connection (Figure 1). All functions feature a -2.2V to +5.2V operating range and the drivers include both high-impedance and active-termination (3rd-level drive) modes. The comparators feature programmable output voltages, allowing optimization for different CMOS interface standards. The loads have selectable output resistance for optimizing DUT current loading. The Kelvin paths allow accurate connection of an instrument with ±25mA source/sink capability. Additionally, the MAX9972 offers a low-leakage mode that reduces DUT_ leakage current to less than 20nA. Each of the four channels feature single-ended CMOScompatible inputs, DATA_ and RCV_, for control of the driver signal path (Figure 2). The MAX9972 modal operation is programmed through a 3-wire, low-voltage CMOS-compatible serial interface. The nominal driver output resistance is 50Ω. Custom resistance values from 45Ω to 51Ω are possible; consult factory for further information. MAX9972 Table 1. Driver Channel Control Signals EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS RCV_ DATA_ 0 0 1 1 X 0 1 X X X INTERNAL CONTROL BITS TERM X X 0 1 X LLEAK 0 0 0 0 1 DUT_ = DLV_ DUT_ = DHV_ High Impedance DUT_ = DTV_ Low Leak Drive Drive Receive Receive Low Leakage DRIVER OUTPUT DRIVER MODE Output Driver The driver input is a high-speed multiplexer that selects one of three voltage inputs: DHV_, DLV_, or DTV_. This switching is controlled by high-speed inputs DATA_ and RCV_, and mode-control bit TERM (Table 1). DATA_ and RCV_ are single-ended inputs with threshold levels equal to VL/2. Each channel’s threshold levels are independently generated to minimize crosstalk. DUT_ can be toggled at high speed between the buffer output and high-impedance mode, or it can be placed into low-leakage mode (Figure 2, Table 1). High-speed input RCV_ and mode-control bits TERM and LLEAK control these modes. In high-impedance mode, the bias current at DUT_ is less than 2µA over the -2.2V to +5.2V range, while the node maintains its ability to track high-speed signals. In low-leakage mode, the bias current at DUT_ is further reduced to less than 20nA, and signal tracking slows.

Multiplexer and Driver Channel ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 Quad, Ultra-Low-Power, 300Mbps ATE Drivers/Comparators MAX9972 Comparators The MAX9972 provides two independent high-speed comparators for each channel. Each comparator has one input connected internally to DUT_ and the other input connected to either CHV_ or CLV_ (see Figure 1). Comparator outputs are a logical result of the input conditions, as indicated in Table 2. The comparator output voltages are easily interfaced to a wide variety of logic standards. Use buffered inputs COMPHI and COMPLO to set the high and low output voltages. For correct operation, COMPHI should be greater than or equal to COMPLO. The comparator 50Ω output impedance provides source termination (Figure 3). Table 2. Comparator Logic DUT_ > CHV_ 0 0 1 1 DUT_ > CLV_ 0 1 0 1 CMPH_ 0 0 1 1 CMPL_ 0 1 0 1 MAX9972 COMPHI Passive Load The MAX9972 channels each feature a passive load consisting of a buffered input voltage, LDV_, connected to DUT_ through two resistive paths (Figure 1). Each path connects to DUT_ individually by a switch controlled through the serial interface. Programming options include none (load disconnected), either, or both paths connected. The loads facilitate fast open/short testing in conjunction with the comparator, and pullup of open-drain DUT_ outputs. CHV_ 50Ω CMPH_ DUT_ Parametric Switches Each of the four MAX9972 channels provides forceand-sense paths for connection of a PMU or other DC resource to the device-under-test (Figure 1). Each force-and-sense switch is independently controlled though the serial interface providing maximum application flexibility. PMU_ and DUT_ are provided on separate pins allowing designs that do not require the parametric switch feature to avoid the added capacitance of PMU_. It also allows PMU_ to connect to DUT_ either directly or with an impedance-matching network. 50Ω CMPL_ CLV_ COMPLO Low-Leakage Mode, LLEAK Asserting LLEAK through the serial port places the MAX9972 into a very-low-leakage state (see the Electrical Characteristics table). This mode is convenient for making IDDQ and PMU measurements without the need for an output disconnect relay. LLEAK control is independent for each channel. When DUT_ is driven with a high-speed signal while LLEAK is asserted, the leakage current momentarily increases beyond the limits specified for normal operation. The low-leakage recovery specification in the Electrical Characteristics table indicates device behavior under this condition. Figure 3. Complementary 50Ω Comparator Outputs Table 3. Passive Load Resistance Values HIGH RESISTOR (kΩ) 7.5 LOW RESISTOR (kΩ) 2 Temperature Monitor Each device supplies a single temperature output signal, TEMP, that asserts a nominal 3.43V output voltage at a +70°C (343K) die temperature. The output voltage increases proportionately with temperature at a rate of 10mV/°C. The temperature sensor output impedance is 500Ω, typical. 18 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Quad, Ultra-Low-Power, 300Mbps ATE Drivers/Comparators Serial Interface and Device Control A CMOS-compatible serial interface controls the MAX9972 modes (Figure 4). Control data flow into a 12bit shift register (LSB first) and are latched when CS is taken high. Data from the shift register are then loaded to the per-channel control latches as determined by bits D8–D11, and indicated in Figure 4 and Table 4. The latches contain the six mode bits for each channel of the device. The mode bits, in conjunction with external inputs DATA_ and RCV_, manage the features of each channel. Transfer data asynchronously from the input registers to the channel registers by forcing LD low. With LD always low, data transfer on the rising edge of CS.
