Description
Features
The Edge749 is an octal pin electronics driver and
receiver combination fabricated in a high-performance
CMOS process. It is designed for automatic test
equipment and instrumentation where cost, functional
density, and power are all at a premium.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Edge749 incorporates eight channels of
programmable drivers and receivers into one package.
Each channel has per pin driver levels, receiver threshold,
and tristate control.
The 18V driver output and receiver input range allows
the Edge749 to interface directly between TTL, ECL,
CMOS (3V, 5V, and 8V), very high voltage, and custom
level circuitry.

Circuit Description
VHIGH and VLOW
Driver Description
VHIGH
VLOW
VHIGH and VLOW define the logical “1” and “0” levels of
the DUT driver and can be adjusted anywhere over the
range determined by VCC and VEE. Table 1 documents
the relationship between the analog power to supplies
(VCC and VEE), the driver range (VHIGH and VLOW), and
the comparator threshold range (VTHRESHOLD).
DATA IN
DUT
The VHIGH and VLOW inputs are unbuffered in that they
also provide the driver output current (see Figure 3), so
the source of VHIGH and VLOW must have ample current
drive capability.
DVR EN*
Figure 1. Driver Diagram
As shown in Figure 1, Edge749 supports programmable
high and low levels and tristate per channel. There are
no shared lines between any drivers. The DVR EN* and
DATA IN signals are TTL compatible inputs that control
the driver (see Figure 2).
VHIGH
With DVR EN* high, the DUT driver goes into a high
impedance state. With DVR EN* low, DATA IN high forces
the driver into a high state (DUT = VHIGH), and DATA IN
low forces the driver low (DUT = VLOW).

Circuit Description (continued)
Driver Output Protection
In a functional testing environment, where a resistor is
added in series with the driver output (to create a 50Ω
output impedance), the Edge749 can withstand a short
to any legal DUT voltage for an indefinite amount of time.
In a low impedance application with no additional output
series resistance, care must be exercised and systems
should be designed to check for this condition and tristate
the driver if a short is detected.
Receiver Functionality
Edge749 supports programmable thresholds per
channel. There are no shared lines between comparators.
THRESHOLD is a high input impedance analog input
which defines a logical “1” and “0” at the DUT (see
Figure 4). If the DUT voltage is more positive than
THRESHOLD, DATA OUT will be high. With DUT lower
than THRESHOLD, DATA OUT will be low.

Application Information
Power Supplies
The Edge749 uses three power supplies – VDD, VCC
and VEE. VDD, typically +5V, is the digital supply for all
of the data inputs and outputs. VCC and VEE are the
analog power supplies for the DUT drivers and
comparators. VCC can range from +10V to +18V, and
must be greater than or equal to VDD. VEE is the negative
analog power and may vary from 0V to –3V.
VCC and VEE, which power the DUT drivers and receivers,
should also be decoupled to GND with a .1 µF chip
capacitor in parallel with a .001 µF chip capacitor. A
VCC and VEE plane, or at least a solid power bus, is
recommended for optimal performance.
VHIGH and VLOW Decoupling
The Edge749 has several power supply requirements to
protect the part in power supply fault situations, as well
as during power up and power down sequences. VCC
must remain greater than or equal to VDD at all times.
Both VCC and VDD must always be positive (above
ground), and VEE must always be negative (at or below
ground).
As the VHIGH and VLOW inputs are unbuffered and must
supply the driver output current, decoupling capacitors
for these inputs are recommended in proportion to the
amount of output current the application requires.
Expanding the Common Mode Range
The three-Schottky diode configuration shown in Figure
5, used on a once-per-board basis, insures power supply
sequence and fault tolerance.
VCC
Although the Edge749 can drive and receive 18 V swings,
these 18 V signals can be adjusted over an 21 V range.
By using programmable regulators V1 and V2 for the
VCC and VEE supplies (feasible because these two
analog power supplies do not supply driver output
current), the Edge749 I/O range can be optimized for a
variety of applications (see Figure 6).

Figure 6.
VDD, which provides the digital power, should be
decoupled to GND with a .1 µF chip capacitor in parallel
with a .001 µF chip capacitor. The bypass capacitors
should be as close to the device as possible. Power and
ground planes are recommended to provide a low
inductance return path.

There are three rules which govern the supplies V1 and
V2:
1) +10V < V1 < +18V
2) –3V < V2 < 0V
3) (V1 – V2) < +18V.

Application Information (continued)
Window Comparator
Trinary Driver
Certain applications require a dual threshold window
comparator to distinguish between the DUT being high,
low, or floating. To support this application, two Edge749
channels can be combined to create one channel with a
window comparator (see Figure 7). Notice that
connecting two DUT pins ties together the positive inputs
of both receivers. The result is a difference in polarity
between the digital outputs reporting the high and low
status of the DUT.
At times, there is a need for a three-level driver. Typically,
two levels are required for the standard digital “1” and
“0” pattern generation. The third level provides a higher
voltage to place the device under test (DUT) into a
programming or test mode. By controlling the DATA IN
and DVR EN* inputs, a trinary driver with tristate is
realizable (see Figure 8).

Figure 7. Edge749 as a
Window Comparator
Once two receivers are connected as window
comparators, the two drivers also get connected in
parallel. This dual driver configuration supports a
multitude of applications that have traditionally been
difficult to accommodate.
VHIGH A
As the drivers are unbuffered, paralleling two drivers for
one DUT node provides a means for adding pull up or
pull down capability. By connecting the VHIGH and VLOW
inputs of one driver through a resistor to a voltage,
additional functionality that would normally require an
external relay on the DUT transmission line to engage
and disengage these functions is realizable.
One common application for the pull up feature is testing
open collector devices. The pull down satisfies open
emitter DUTs (typically ECL). Either the pull up or down
could be used to establish a default high impedance
voltage on a bidirectional bus. Notice that in all
applications, the resistors can be switched dynamically
or statically.

Also, either the pull up or pull down resistor could be
used to terminate the transmission from the DUT to the
pin electronics in an effort to minimize any reflections.

Two Logic Family Driver
Many test systems support exactly two families of driver
and receiver levels and select between family A and family
B settings on a per-pin basis, typically using an analog
multiplexer (See Figure 11). Common examples of these
families are:
DUT
Family A = TTL
Family B = CMOS
or
Family A = TTL
Family B = ECL
DVR EN*A
VHIGH B
VPULL UP
DATA IN B
VPULL DOWN
DVR EN*B
VLOW B
The Edge749 supports this system architecture with
minimal hardware and the elimination of the per-pin
analog multiplexer. The drive and receive levels need to
be generated once per system, then distributed and
buffered suitably.
Figure 9. Driver with Pull Up/Pull Down
Trinary Driver with Termination
Other combinations are also possible. For example, two
parallel drivers can be configured to implement one
trinary driver with a pull down (or pull up) dynamic
termination (see Figure 10).
VHIGH A
VLOW A
Parametric Functions
Two drivers in parallel also offer the possibility of
connecting force and sense parametric circuitry to the
DUT without adding additional circuitry to the controlled
impedance DUT line. For example, Figure 12 shows the
second driver being utilized to force a current and
measure a voltage.

Ideally, a driver would have a constant
output impedance over all ouptut
conditions. However, the Edge749
ouptut impedance does vary slightly
over the common mode drive level and
whether it is driving high or low. Figure
12 shows the variation in Rout.

In a low performance application, where
the output capacitance is not a concern,
