AMD SC2200 manual General Specifications, Power/Ground Connections and Decoupling

Electrical Specifications 32580B

Electrical Specifications9

This chapter provides information about:

•General electrical specifications.

•DC characteristics.

•AC characteristics.

•All voltage values in this chapter are with respect to VSS unless otherwise noted.

9.1.2Power/Ground Connections and Decoupling

When testing and operating the SC2200, use standard high frequency techniques to reduce parasitic effects. For example:

•Filter the DC power leads with low-inductance decou- pling capacitors.

•Use low-impedance wiring.

9.1General Specifications

9.1.1Electro Static Discharge (ESD)

This device is a high performance integrated circuit and is ESD sensitive. Handling and assembly of this device should be performed at ESD free workstations. Table 9-1lists the ESD ratings of the SC2200.

Table 9-1. Electro Static Discharge (ESD)

Parameter	Units
Human Body Model (HBM)	2000V ESD
Machine Model (MM)	200V ESD

•Utilizing the PWR and GND pins.

9.1.3Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses beyond those indicated in the Table 9-2 on page 369 may cause permanent damage to the SC2200, reduce device reliability, and result in premature failure, even when there is no immediately apparent sign of failure. Prolonged exposure to conditions at or near the absolute maximum ratings may also result in reduced device life span and reduced reliability.

Note: The values in the following table are stress ratings only. They do not imply that operation under other conditions is impossible.
