Describing a 640-pin Logic Model

This chapter describes the necessary components and provides a procedural summary for building a 640-pin Logic Model.

Hardware Requirements

To build a complete 640-pin Logic Model using the 640-pin Adapter, you need the following hardware:

●The device you want to model, henceforth referred to as the device under test (DUT). The DUT can have up to 640 input, output, and I/O signals, exclusive of supply voltage and auxiliary signals. The DUT can include more than one physical package, as long as the components fit within an area approximately 6” x 6”.

●One 640-pin Generic Device Adapter Daughterboard, henceforth referred to as the “Daughterboard”, to which you attach the DUT.

●Four ModelSource modeling systems, either 4 MS3200 units or 4 MS3400 units. You cannot mix these two types of units.

●One 640-pin Adapter, which provides the interface between the modeling systems and the Daughterboard.
