This option brings three new features to the Dynamic Troubleshooting capabilities of the
2、 Fluke 900: . Reference Device (RD) Simulation ? Delayed Gate ? Shadow RAM. Reference Device Simulation re- moves the need to maintain, handle, and insert a Reference Device for a large number of common components. This will save time in troubleshooting and further automate this task to gain a highe
3、r throughput. The new features called Delayed Gate and Shadow RAM simplify the troubleshooting task, but more important, they simplify and re- duce the Test Sequence development effort. They provide an easy way to handle two common troubleshooting difficulties: bus contention and RAM initialization.
4、 Bus contention appears in bus struc- tured units-under-test (UUTs) when one bus driver is momentarily enabled at the same time as another driver. The Delayed Gate feature provides a simple mechanism for the test technician to define a test window to mask out the conflicting signals. The comparison
5、test window may be enabled some time after the device under test has been enabled. The duration of the compari- son window may be specified as well. Dynamic Reference Comparison is an effective and straightforward method to test programmable devices such as RAM. The prerequisite is that the referenc
6、e device has been initialized to contain the same information as the device under test. Apparent failures can occur when a read-before-write is performed by the memory self test or other diagnostic stimulus. Shadow RAM automatically inhibits the output comparison test for RAM locations (addresses) t
7、hat have not been written (or initialized) first by the diagnostic stimulus. Reference Device Simulation All of the Advantages of Dynamic Reference Comparison. Reference Comparison achieves its superior test and troubleshooting per- formance by comparing the real time performance of the device under
8、 test to that of a known-good replacement de- vice. The real time comparison is made against a one hundred percent func- tional model. No adjustments need to be made to this model, even if the device under test is used in a “special” circuit configuration such as inputs tied together, or input or co
9、ntrol lines tied to ground or Vcc. The reference device is subjected to the exact same input conditions that are driving the device under test in the circuit. Reference Device Simulation retains all of the benefits of the Dynamic Reference Comparison test technique, while adding the convenience typi
10、cal of software modelling with none of the disadvaantages of this method. The RD Simulation Option is implemented us- ing a reconfigurable high speed logic array which is programmed from a “Simulation Library” to behave like the device under test. This hardware can simulate virtually any SSI and MSI
11、 device. You specify the device under test by its generic component name (i.e. 74245), clip over this device and press the test button. There is no need to search a tray with reference devices, pick the desired device and insert it in the testers ZIF socket. The number of reference devices to be mai
12、ntained is reduced to only VLSI components, cus- tom devices or customized devices. When testing a device on the UUT, the Fluke 900 with the Simulation Option will default to the simulation mode if the device under test is de- scribed in the Simulation Library. The user may elect to override this mo
13、de anytime and utilize the real replace- ment component as the model. Simulated devices can be slightly faster, the same or slightly slower than the equivalent reference device, de- pending on the complexity and tech- nology of the real device. Differences may range from 0 to 40 nanoseconds. During
14、Test Sequence development, the effect of this difference is compen- sated for by an adjustment in the FMASK test parameter. The standard Fluke 900 can com- pare the performance of components for data rates up to 20 MHz. Depend- ing upon the complexity of the compo- nent under test, the comparison wi
15、th the simulated component supports data rates up to 12 to 16 MHz. Complex devices operating at data rates higher than the bandwidth supported by the simulation hardware, can be tested using the real reference model. Increased Device Coverage. The standard Fluke 900 is limited to testing 5 Volt logi
16、c devices because the power supplied to the reference device in the socket is limited to the standard TTL supply of 5 volts. With the addi- tion of the RD Simulation Option, the Fluke 900 can simulate the logic states and test CMOS devices which are operating with supply voltages up to 15 volts. Mix
17、ed logic level devices such as RS-232 drivers are also supported in the Simulation Library. The Simulation library. The Simulation Library is distrib- uted on floppy disks compatible with the MS-DOS operating system. The library distribution disk contains the utility programs and routines to allow t
18、he user to select and configure a simulation library for a specific UUT. The library to support a specific UUT may be downloaded from a personal computer to the Fluke 900. The library may then be kept in system RAM for execution of the test procedure. Or, for 2 Fluke 900-001 收音机爱好者资料库 Ra d i o Fa n

The Simulation Library does not replace the device library available with the basic Fluke 900. The Simulation Library is employed in addit

The Simulation Library covers many common TTL and CMOS devices at market introduction time. The library w

This agreement is in force for one year from the date of purchase. It will be renewable thereaf- ter. A new Simulation Library packa

A list of the devices covered in the Simulation Library is available from your account representative. other than the device under test. The choice is typically a cont
23、rol signal on the UUT that tells the receiving circuit (like RAM) that the data is valid. Selecting a good GATE signal on the UUT requires knowledge of the operation of the UUT, or, alternatively, requires time to experiment and verify that the test results are valid. The Delayed Gate feature greatl
24、y simplifies the test of components in this situation. It allows the test technician to specify a testing window in relation to the control lines on the device under test. The user can specify the compari- son window to start a fixed amount of time after the device has been enabled or selected. The
25、duration of the comparison window may be specified as well. Bus drivers which are subject to bus contention problems can now be tested with little experimentation and without detailed knowledge of the operation of the UUT. The quality of the test will not be compromised. If the gate window is proper
26、ly selected, the values for the performance envelope test parameters (FMASK and THRESHOLD) can be small to perform a tight real-time test. Delayed Gate The Delayed Gate feature simplifies the test of devices like bus drivers. Typically, these devices can only be tested while they are actively drivin
27、g the bus. Many times, you will see one complicating factor: the data is not stable or valid for the total duration of the device enable signals. With the standard Fluke 900 this problem can be solved using the GATE function. Care must be taken, however, to select a valid gate signal on a device Sha
28、dow RAM The Dynamic Reference Compari- son method is the most effective way to test the performance of a program- mable device like a RAM chip, operat- ing in the circuit. The DRC method verifies both the data storage and retention, as well as the timing of the output data. The prerequisite for succ
29、ess is that the RAM chip under test and the refer- ence chip must contain the same infor- mation in every location which is read during the comparison test. This may be accomplished by waiting until every location in both devices has been initialized to the same data patterns. The TRIGGER function o
30、r a time delay (OFFSET) may be used to ensure proper initialization. Sometimes, however, the diagnostic program that provides the stimulus for the memory chip test accesses memory in an unpredictable or unknown pat- tern. If a read-before-write is executed to a number of memory locations, it will mo
31、st likely cause a false failure in the device comparison test. The Shadow RAM feature will auto- mate the memory test independent of the read and write sequencing of the diagnostic program providing the test stimulus. When the Shadow RAM feature is active, the data output(s) of the RAM under test ar
32、e only compared with the output(s) of the reference device for addresses (locations) that have been written into since the start of the comparison test. This greatly simplifies the RAM test making it as easy as testing a combinatorial device like a 7400 NAND gate. When a RAM device is selected, the
33、Shadow RAM records addresses within a 64K byte block size. A RAM chip is tested in 64K byte increments. For larger RAM devices, a reset is auto- matically issued and the device is retested with the shadow covering the next block size. This shadow pattern and a maximum speed parameter form part of th
34、e RAM chip description in the Simulation Library. When testing a RAM chip using the Shadow RAM feature -whether the test resulted in a “pass” diagnostic or not - the Fluke 900 can display the number of locations in the device under test that were accessed during the comparison test period. This numb
35、er is a figure of merit that indicates to what extent the RAM test stimulus exercised the RAM chip under test.
