of a matched diode bridge. Since the open-drain
outputs sink current, only the I
OL
legs of the bridge
are necessary and the I
OH
legs are not used. When
the 80960KB driver under test is turned off, the
output pin is pulled up to V
REF
(i.e., V
OH
). Diode D
1
is turned off and the I
OL
current source flows through
diode D
2
.
When the 80960KB open-drain driver under test is
on, diode D
1
is also on and the voltage on the pin
being tested drops to V
OL
. Diode D
2
turns off and I
OL
flows through diode D
1
.
