Testing differential signal standards using device under test's built in resistors

A test setup is provided to test differential signals outputs from the I/O block (IOB) pairs in an integrated circuit (IC). The test setup allows elimination of the external 100 Ohm resistors provided across the differential outputs on a device under test (DUT) test board containing the IC by taking...

Zusammenfassung:A test setup is provided to test differential signals outputs from the I/O block (IOB) pairs in an integrated circuit (IC). The test setup allows elimination of the external 100 Ohm resistors provided across the differential outputs on a device under test (DUT) test board containing the IC by taking advantage of a 100 Ohm resistor built into the IC between a portion of the IOB pairs. An IOB pair being tested may have its differential output terminal pair shorted to the differential output terminal pair of the IOBs having the internal 100 Ohm resistor.
