2. tDS nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of Vref(DC) and the first crossing of Vih(AC) MIN. tDS nominal slew rate for a
falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vref(DC) and the
first crossing of Vil(AC) MAX. If the actual signal is always earlier than the nominal slew
rate line between the shaded “Vref(DC) to AC region,” use the nominal slew rate for
nal slew rate line anywhere between the shaded “Vref(DC) to AC region,” the slew rate
of a tangent line to the actual signal from the AC level to DC level is used for the derat-
3. tDH nominal slew rate for a rising signal is defined as the slew rate between the last
crossing of Vil(DC) MAX and the first crossing of Vref(DC). tDH nominal slew rate for a
falling signal is defined as the slew rate between the last crossing of Vih(DC) MIN and
the first crossing of Vref(DC). If the actual signal is always later than the nominal slew
rate line between the shaded “DC level to Vref(DC) region,” use the nominal slew rate
nominal slew rate line anywhere between shaded “DC to Vref(DC) region,” the slew
rate of a tangent line to the actual signal from the DC level to Vref(DC) level is used for
4. Although the total setup time might be negative for slow slew rates (a valid input signal
will not have reached Vih[AC]/Vil[AC] at the time of the rising clock transition), a valid
input signal is still required to complete the transition and reach Vih(AC)/Vil(AC).
5. For slew rates between the values listed in this table, the derating values may be ob-
tained by linear interpolation.
6. These values are typically not subject to production test. They are verified by design and
characterization.
