Output Disable Time
Output pins are considered to be disabled when they stop driv-
ing, go into a high impedance state, and start to decay from
their output high or low voltage. The time for the voltage on the
bus to decay by
V is dependent on the capacitive load, C
L
, and
the load current, I
L
. This decay time can be approximated by
the following equation:
t
DECAY

The output disable time, t
DIS
, is the difference between t
MEASURED
and t
DECAY
as shown in Figure 28. The time t
MEASURED
is the
interval from when the reference signal switches to when the
output voltage decays
V from the measured output high or
output low voltage. t
DECAY
is calculated with test loads C
L
and
I
L
, and with
V equal to 0.5 V.
Output Enable Time
Output pins are considered to be enabled when they have made
a transition from a high impedance state to when they start
driving. The output enable time, t
ENA
, is the interval from when
a reference signal reaches a high or low voltage level to when the
output has reached a specified high or low trip point, as shown
in the Output Enable/Disable diagram (Figure 28). If multiple
pins (such as the data bus) are enabled, the measurement value
is that of the first pin to start driving.
Example System Hold Time Calculation
To determine the data output hold time in a particular system,
first calculate t
DECAY
using the equation given above. Choose
V to be the difference between the ADSP-2106x’s output
voltage and the input threshold for the device requiring the hold
time. A typical
V will be 0.4 V. C
L
is the total bus capacitance
(per data line), and I
L
is the total leakage or three-state current
(per data line). The hold time will be t
DECAY
plus the minimum
disable time (i.e., t
HDWD
for the write cycle).

Capacitive Loading
Output delays and holds are based on standard capacitive loads:
50 pF on all pins (see Figure 29). The delay and hold specifica-
tions given should be derated by a factor of 1.5 ns/50 pF for
loads other than the nominal value of 50 pF. Figures 31, 32, 33
and 34 show how output rise time varies with capacitance.
Figures 35 and 36 graphically show how output delays and
holds vary with load capacitance. (Note that these graphs or
derating does not apply to output disable delays; see the previ-
ous section Output Disable Time under Test Conditions.) The
graphs of Figures 31 through 36 may not be linear outside the
ranges shown.
