SET SPLIT_MEASURE_CYCLE TIME

 

 

SET SPLIT_MEASURE_CYCLE TIME

Scope: Enables special timing rules checking

Usage

SET SPLIT_MEASURE_CYCLE TIME integer

Description

Specifies the period for test procedures and splits the non-scan cycle at the measure time.

Certain tester formats, such as TDL 91, expect all measures to occur last in the tester cycle. However, the scan output pin comparison always occurs in the shift procedure prior to the shift clock application. The tester should measure scan output pins in the shift procedure at time zero. Therefore, when you specify this command, the test pattern formatter safely moves the scan output measure event (measure_sco) so that it is the last event in the previous cycle. The first measure_sco event moves to the end of the load_unload procedure cycle and each succeeding measure_sco event moves to the previous shift procedure cycle.

Figure A-2depicts the effect of the SET SPLIT_MEASURE_CYCLE TIME command on the test procedure test cycles.

Note that the measure_sco event for the first shift procedure cycle occurs at the end of the load_unload procedure. All other measure_sco events for shift cycles occur at the end of the previous shift cycles.
