Signal Line Definitions for the List Sweep Comparator
The signal definitions for the list sweep comparator differ from those for the 
comparator. 
When the handler interface is used with the list sweep comparator, the 
following signal definitions apply: 
— Test result output signals
Signals /BIN1 to /BIN9 and /AUX_BIN represent the results of IN/OUT tests 
at sweep points 1 to 10, respectively. /OUT_OF_BINS indicates whether the 
DUT has passed or failed the test (a DUT fails the test if it generates an OUT 
result in any of steps 1 to 201 during one cycle of sweep measurement). 
These signals are output at the end of the sweep cycle. 
— Control output signals
The output timings of /INDEX (“end of analog measurement”) and /EOM 
(“end of measurement cycle”) signals differ depending on the sweep mode 
for list sweep (these signals behave differently than when used for the 
comparator). 
1. SEQ sweep mode
/INDEX is output when the last analog measurement in the sweep 
cycle is complete. /EOM is output when all the comparator test 
results become available after the end of the sweep cycle. 
2. STEP sweep mode
/INDEX is output when the analog measurement step in each step of 
the sweep cycle is complete. /EOM is output when the all the 
measurements in each step of the sweep cycle are complete 
(including the measurement time). 
Connector pin layouts and comparator signal descriptions for the list sweep 
comparator are shown in Table E-13, Figure E-4, and Figure E-2. (the pin 
layouts for the list sweep comparator are the same as those for the 
comparator). Also, 
Figure E-5 shows a signal timing chart. 
A signal prefixed with a slash (/) indicates that the signal is negative logic 
(active low).
