To test the multiple-clock, multiple-edge, state
acquisition (logic analyzer)
Testing the multiple-clock, multiple-edge, state acquisition verifies the performance
of the following specifications:
• Minimum master to master clock time.
• Maximum state acquisit ion speed.
• Setup/Hold time for multiple-clock, multiple-edge, state acquisition.
• Minimum clock pulse width.
This test checks two combinations of data using multiple clocks at three selected
setup/hold t imes.
