The device will switch at high data rates between two input voltage levels providing variable amplitude pulses. Slew Rate Control pins provide independent control over positive and negative slew rate allowing the customer to optimize the pin driver speed for their application. The output impedance is trimmed to achieve a precision 50Ω source for impedance matching. Two differential ECL/TTL compatible inputs control the operation of the HFA5253, one controlling the VHIGH/VLOW switching and the other controlling the output’s highimpedance state. The HFA5253’s 800MHz data rate makes it compatible with today’s high-speed VLSI test systems and the +8V to -3V output swing satisfies the most stringent testing requirements of all common logic families. • Very Fast Rise/Fall Times. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500ps • High Digital Data Rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 800MHz • Wide Output Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +8V to -3V • Precise 50Ω Output Impedance • High Impedance, Three-State Output Control • Slew Rate Control Applications • IC Tester Pin Electronics • Pattern Generators • Pulse Generators • Level Comparator/Translator The HFA5253 is manufactured in Harris’ proprietary complementary bipolar UHF-1 process.

Copyright © Harris Corporation 1998 HFA5253 Pin Descriptions NAME FUNCTION VCC1 Positive Supply. Nominal value is 11.2V ±0.2V. Reducing supply voltage below 11.0V will reduce positive output voltage swing. The total supply voltage from VCC1 to VEE1 should not exceed 18.0V for normal operation or exceed 19.0V to prevent damage. Harris recommends two wire bonds to this pad to provide the lowest possible impedance. In addition, power supply decoupling chip capacitors of 470pF, 0.1µF and a 10µF tantalum are recommended. Do not connect the VCC1 and VCC2 pins together immediately, rather run separate traces until they can be joined at a large bypass capacitor (0.1µF || 10.0µF). VEE1 Negative Supply. Nominal value is -6.4V ±0.2V. A supply voltage more positive than -6.2V will reduce negative output voltage swing. The total supply voltage from VCC1 to VEE1 should not exceed 18.0V for normal operation or exceed 19.0V to prevent damage. Harris recommends two wire bonds to this pad to provide the lowest possible impedance. In addition, power supply decoupling chip capacitors of 470pF, 0.1µF and a 10µF tantalum are recommended. Do not connect the VEE1 and VEE2 pins together immediately, rather run separate traces until they can be joined at a large bypass capacitor (0.1µF || 10.0µF). VCC2 Output Stage Positive Supply. Nominal voltage and cautions are the same as for VCC1. Having decoupling chip capacitors close to VCC2 and VEE2 is essential since large AC current will flow through this pad to the output during transients. Harris recommends two wire bonds for this pad. Do not connect the VCC1 and VCC2 pins together immediately, rather run separate traces until they can be joined at a large bypass capacitor (0.1µF || 10.0µF). VEE2 Output Stage Negative Supply. Nominal voltage and cautions are the same as for VEE1. Having decoupling chip capacitors close to VCC2 and VEE2 is essential since large AC current will flow through this pad to the output during transients. Harris recommends two wire bonds for this pad. Do not connect the VEE1 and VEE2 pins together immediately, rather run separate traces until they can be joined at a large bypass capacitor (0.1µF || 10.0µF). VHIGH Input Voltage High is used to set the output high level VOH. VHIGH is sensitive to capacitively coupled AC noise. Protection from high frequency noise can be achieved with a low pass filter consisting of a 50Ω chip resistor and a 470pF chip capacitor. Without this precaution the pin driver may oscillate due to feedback from the output through the PC board ground. VLOW Input Voltage Low is used to set the output low level VOL. VLOW is sensitive to capacitively coupled AC noise. Protection from high frequency noise can be achieved with a low pass filter consisting of a 50Ω chip resistor and a 470pF chip capacitor. Without this precaution the pin driver may oscillate due to feedback from the output through the PC board ground. VOUT Driver Output. The output impedance has been laser trimmed to match a 50Ω transmission line ±2Ω. Custom output impedance trimming is available (contact sales office for details) to provide the best match possible to your 50Ω system. DATA, DATA Differential Digital Inputs used to switch VOUT to the VHIGH or VLOW level. Harris recommends this input pair be driven by complementary ECL signals to provide optimal switching speeds and timing accuracy. However a large Common Mode and Differential Voltage Range is provided to accommodate a variety of signals including single ended TTL and CMOS. When using single ended signals the other input must be tied to an appropriate threshold voltage. HIZ, HIZ Differential Digital Inputs used to switch VOUT from an Active to a High Impedance State. Harris recommends that this input pair be driven by complementary ECL signals to provide optimal switching speeds and timing accuracy. However a large Common Mode and Differential Voltage Range is provided to accommodate a variety of signals including single ended TTL and CMOS. When using single ended signals the other input must be tied to an appropriate threshold voltage. +SRC The Positive Slew Rate Control Pin adjusts the rising edge slew rate with an external current ISTEAL. ISTEAL draws current (0mA to 10mA) from an internal current source limiting the rate of change of the high impedance node. Typically an external resistor to GND is sufficient to set the slew rate at a desired level. Leaving the +SRC Pin open will give the highest speed performance. The external current ISTEAL for a resistor RSTEAL connected from +SRC to GND may be calculated by: ISTEAL = (VCC - 0.35)/RSTEAL. -SRC The Negative Slew Rate Control Pin adjusts the falling edge slew rate with an external current ISTEAL. ISTEAL supplies current (0mA to 10mA) to an internal current source limiting the amount of current being drawn from the circuit and thus limiting the rate of change of the high impedance node. Typically an external resistor to GND is sufficient to set the slew rate at a desired level. Leaving the -SRC Pin open will give the highest speed performance. The external current ISTEAL for a resistor RSTEAL connected from -SRC to GND may be calculated by: ISTEAL = (VEE + 0.35)/RSTEAL. 90 HFA5253 Absolute Maximum Ratings Thermal Information Supply Voltage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19V Differential Input Voltage (DATA and HIZ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5V Output Current Continuous (Note 1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 160mA Input Voltage (Any pin except as specified) . . . . . . . . . .

The control inputs, DATA and DATA, determine the output level. If DATA is at logic “1” and DATA is at logic “0”, the output level will be the same as VHIGH. If DATA is at logic “0” and DATA is at logic “1”, the output will be the same as VLOW. The control inputs, HIZ and HIZ, cause the output to become either active or high-impedance. If HIZ is at logic “1” and HIZ is at logic “0”, the output will be in high impedance mode. If HIZ is at logic “0” and HIZ is at logic “1”, the output will be enabled. The output impedance in the enabled mode is trimmed to 50Ω. Circuit Schematic The Pin Driver circuit consists of a switch, an output buffer, and two differential control elements as shown in the circuit Schematic Diagram. A two stage approach, separating the switch from the output buffer, allows the speed and accuracy requirements of the switch to be de-coupled from the load driving capability of the buffer. The patented switch circuitry [3] uses cascaded emitter followers as input buffers and also to switch the input VHIGH and VLOW to node VSO. Dual differential pairs controlled by the data timing (DATA and DATA) direct current to select either the VHIGH or VLOW switch. Matching transistor types and transdiodes improve linearity and lowers the voltage offset and offset drift. Stacking two emitter-base junctions allows the VHIGH to VLOW range to be extended to two Emitter - Base breakdown voltages of the process. The speed of the pin driver is largely determined by the current flowing through the switch stage and the collector-base capacitance of the output stage transistors connected to the node VSO. The Slew Rate Control Pins, +SRC and -SRC, allow the user to control the amount of current available in the VHIGH and VLOW switch, respectively and thus the slew rate of node VSO. The output stage consists of cascaded emitter followers constructed in a typical push-pull manner as shown in the Schematic Diagram. However, transdiodes are added to increase the voltage breakdown characteristics of the output during high impedance mode. HIZ and HIZ control the mode of the output stage. A trimmed, NiCr resistor is added to provide the 50Ω output impedance. Overall, a symmetry of device types and paths is constructed to improve slew and delay symmetry. Both the VHIGH to VOUT path and the VLOW to VOUT path contain three NPN and three PNP transistors operating at similar collector currents. Thus the transient response of VHIGH to VLOW and VLOW to VHIGH are kept symmetrical. Also, a trimmable current reference (not shown) allows the AC parameters to be adjusted to maintain unit to unit consistency. Application Information The HFA5253 is a pin driver designed for use in automatic test equipment (ATE) and high speed pulse generators. Pin drivers, especially those with very high-speed performance, have generally been implemented with discrete transistors (sometimes GaAs) on a circuit board or in a hybrid. Recent IC process improvements, specifically Harris’ UHF1 process [2], have enabled the manufacturing of the 500MHz and 800MHz silicon monolithic pin drivers, HFA5250, HFA5251 and now the HFA5253.

Definition of Terms VOH AND VOL Output High Voltage and Output Low Voltage. VOH is the voltage at VOUT when the HIZ input is low and the DATA input is high. VOL is the voltage at VOUT when HIZ is low and DATA is low. The VOH and VOL levels are set with the VHIGH and VLOW inputs respectively. OFFSET VOLTAGE Offset Voltage is the DC error between the voltage placed on VHIGH or VLOW and the resulting VOH and VOL. VHIGH Offset Voltage Error is obtained by measuring VOH with VHIGH set to 0V and VLOW set to -2.5V to minimize interaction effects. VLOW Offset Voltage Error is the measurement of VOL with VLOW set to 0V and VHIGH set to +7.5V. GAIN Gain is defined as the ratio of output voltage change to input voltage change for a defined range. VHIGH Gain is calculated with the following equation with VLOW fixed at -2.5V: V OH ( V HIGH at 6.5V ) – V OH ( V HIGH at -1V ) V HIGH GAIN = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7.5 VLOW Gain is calculated in a similar manner: V OL ( V LOW at 6V ) – V OL ( V LOW at -1.5V ) V LOW GAIN = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7.5 VHIGH is held fixed at 7.5V. These Gain calculations minimize the effects of Interaction and End Point Nonlinearities. LINEARITY ERROR Linearity Error is a measure of output voltage worst case deviation from a straight line that has been corrected for offset and 7.5V Gain. Linearity Error is given as a percentage of fullscale and is done in two ranges, 5V and 10.5V. DATA is measure at 0.5V steps from -2.5V to 8V for VHIGH and -3V to 7.5V for VLOW. The Linearity Error equation is as follows for 10.5V fullscale: V OUT ( IDEAL ) = V IN × Gain + Offset Linearity Error is calculated for every data point in the range and the worst case value is recorded. VHIGH TO VLOW INTERACTION VHIGH to VLOW Interaction is the change in VOUT (the active channel) due to the inactive channel. VHIGH Interaction is measured as the change in VOH from 1V as VLOW is moved from 0V to 750mV (VLOW is corrected for gain and offset errors). VLOW Interaction is measured as the change in VOL from 0V as VHIGH is moved from 1V to 250mV (with VHIGH corrected for gain and offset errors). The minimum recommended difference between VHIGH and VLOW for the HFA5253 is 250mV. Speed Advantage Harris Pin Drivers on bonded-wafer technology definitely have a speed advantage, coming from the low collector-tosubstrate capacitance and the high fT of the transistors. In addition, the patented switching stage which fits uniquely to Harris’ UHF1 process is another big contributor for the high speed. This switching circuitry requires low series-resistance NPN and PNP transdiodes available in UHF1. The rise and fall times of the pin driver are largely determined by the slew rate at the node VSO in the Schematic. The dominant mechanism for the slew rate is the charging/discharging of the collector-base capacitors of the transistors connected to the node VSO. The charging/discharging currents are coming from the switching stage current sources. The fast rise and fall times are achieved because of the negligible collector-tosubstrate capacitance and the small base-collector capacitance due to the self-aligned recessed oxide [2]. The DATA/DATA differential stage is not a factor for the speed if its current sources have enough current not to bottleneck the transient. However it should be noted that the propagation delay mismatch is determined by this stage. Sufficient current is allocated to the differential stage current sources to best match the low-to-high and high-to-low transient propagation delays. The specified load condition is a 16 inch 50Ω SMA cable with a 5pF capacitor at the end of the cable. This load simulates a typical ATE environment for a DUT (Device Under Test) with high impedance (>1kΩ) digital inputs. The rise/fall time for HFA5253 with 5VP-P is typically 1.3ns. Pin drivers, built out of the same circuit structure as shown in the Schematic, can be made faster by trimming for a higher power supply current. Currently the pin driver has rise/fall times of less than 1ns (10% to 90% of 5VP-P) when ICC is trimmed to 125mA. Further speed enhancement will be made if there is a market demand. Basic ATE System Application V OUT – V OUT ( IDEAL ) Linearity Error = ------------------------------------------------------------10.5 The Linearity Error equation is as follows for 5V fullscale: V OUT – V OUT ( IDEAL ) Linearity Error = ------------------------------------------------------------5 94 Figure 1 shows a pin driver in a typical per-pin ATE system. The pin driver works closely with the Dual-Level Comparator and the Active Load. When the DUT pin acts as an input waiting for a series of digital signals, the pin driver becomes active with a logic “0” applied on the HIZ pin and provides the DUT pin with digital signals. When the DUT pin acts as an output, the pin driver output will be in high impedance mode (HIZ) with a logic HFA5253 connected to each of the pins, DATA and HIZ through a 50Ω chip resistor to monitor the pulse signals. “1” applied to the “HIZ” pin. During this high impedance mode the pin driver presents a capacitance of less than 5pF to the DUT. Special care has to be taken to match the impedance (to 50Ω) at the pin driver output to minimize reflections. PARTS LIST The Dual-Level Comparator detects the logic levels of the DUT pin when it acts as an output. The comparator has two threshold level inputs, VCH and VCL. The logic level information of the DUT pin output is sent to the edge/window comparator through the Dual-Level Comparator. The edge/window comparator interprets this information in terms of corresponding transient performance in conjunction with the timing information. Thus it detects any possible failure transients.

TYPICAL ATE SYSTEM 95 HFA5253 The power supply pins, VCC1, VCC2 , VEE1, and VEE2 , require decoupling chip capacitors of 470pF, 0.1µF, 10µF. Having decoupling capacitors close to VCC2 and VEE2 is essential since large AC current will flow through either VCC2 or VEE2 during transients. The control pins, DATA, DATA, HIZ, and HIZ are fed ECL signals through 50Ω micro-strip lines terminated with 50Ω for impedance matching since the input impedance at these pins is much higher than 50Ω. At the end of the micro-strip lines there is usually a high-speed pulse generator with an output impedance of 50Ω. A 50Ω micro-strip line is TIMING Wide Body The input pins, VHIGH , VLOW, +SRC, and -SRC need to be protected from any capacitively coupled AC noise. Normally this protection can be achieved by having a low pass filter consisting of a 50Ω chip resistor and a chip capacitor, 470pF for VHIGH/VLOW and 0.1µF for +SRC/-SRC. Without this protection circuit the pin driver may oscillate due to signals fed back from the output through the PC board ground. To ensure oscillation-free operation in ATE or pulse generator applications, the pin driver needs an appropriate decoupling circuit on a printed circuit board which consists of chip capacitors and chip resistors. Figures 2, 3, and 4 refer to a proven decoupling circuit currently working in the lab and a 1X scale film of its associated PC board (metal level).
