AM26LV32: Device-to-Device Skew

Part Number: AM26LV32


Tool/software:

Hi team,

Could you let me know why the device-to-device skew of AM26LV32 is longer than single device pulse skew?

Best regards,
Kazuki Itoh

  • Kazuki,

    The device's datasheet has more built in room for margin on the first two skews. In actual measurement I see the device to device skew is 2x the channel to channel skew.

  • Hi Bobby,

    The actual measurement shows the device‑to‑device skew to be twice the channel‑to‑channel skew can be rephrased as 'half of the device‑to‑device skew equals the channel‑to‑channel skew.' If the margin is removed for the first two skews, tsk(p) and tsk(o), is it correct to understand the values as:

    - Actual value of tsk(p): 3 ns / 4.5 ns
    - Actual value of tsk(o): 3 ns / 4.5 ns
    - Guaranteed value of tsk(pp): 6 ns / 9 ns?

    Best regards,

  • is it correct to understand the values as:

    - Actual value of tsk(p): 3 ns / 4.5 ns
    - Actual value of tsk(o): 3 ns / 4.5 ns

    From what I see, the actual measured values appear to be even lower than this. These parameters also have a larger built in margin of safety.
