Octal Buffer/Line Driver with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The ACQ241 is an octal buffer and line driver designed to
be employed as a memory address driver, clock driver and
bus oriented transmitter or receiver which provides
improved PC board density. The ACQ utilizes Fairchild
FACT Quiet Series
technology to guarantee quiet output
switching and improved dynamic threshold performance.
FACT Quiet Series features GTO
output control and
undershoot corrector in addition to a split ground bus for
superior performance.

Note 1:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage
to the device may occur. The databook specifications should be met, with-
out exception, to ensure that the system design is reliable over its power
supply, temperature, and output/input loading variables. Fairchild does not
recommend operation of FACT circuits outside databook specifications.

FACT Noise Characteristics
The setup of a noise characteristics measurement is critical
to the accuracy and repeatability of the tests. The following
is a brief description of the setup used to measure the
noise characteristics of FACT.
Equipment:
Hewlett Packard Model 8180A Word Generator
PC-163A Test Fixture
Tektronics Model 7854 Oscilloscope
Procedure:
1. Verify Test Fixture Loading: Standard Load 50 pF,
500
Ω
.
2. Deskew the HFS generator so that no two channels
have greater than 150 ps skew between them. This
requires that the oscilloscope be deskewed first. It is
important to deskew the HFS generator channels
before testing. This will ensure that the outputs switch
simultaneously.
3. Terminate all inputs and outputs to ensure proper load-
ing of the outputs and that the input levels are at the
correct voltage.
4. Set the HFS generator to toggle all but one output at a
frequency of 1 MHz. Greater frequencies will increase
DUT heating and effect the results of the measure-
ment.
5. Set the word generator input levels at 0V LOW and 3V
HIGH for ACT devices and 0V LOW and 5V HIGH for
AC devices. Verify levels with an oscilloscope

:
• Determine the quiet output pin that demonstrates the
greatest noise levels. The worst case pin will usually be
the furthest from the ground pin. Monitor the output volt-
ages using a 50
Ω
coaxial cable plugged into a standard
SMB type connector on the test fixture. Do not use an
active FET probe.
• Measure V
OLP
and V
OLV
on the quiet output during the
worst case transition for active and enable. Measure
V
OHP
and V
OHV
on the quiet output during the worst
case active and enable transition.
• Verify that the GND reference recorded on the oscillo-
scope has not drifted to ensure the accuracy and repeat-
ability of the measurements.
V
ILD
and V
IHD
:
• Monitor one of the switching outputs using a 50
Ω
coaxial
cable plugged into a standard SMB type connector on
the test fixture. Do not use an active FET probe.
• First increase the input LOW voltage level, V
IL
, until the
output begins to oscillate or steps out a min of 2 ns.
Oscillation is defined as noise on the output LOW level
that exceeds V
IL
limits, or on output HIGH levels that
exceed V
IH
limits. The input LOW voltage level at which
oscillation occurs is defined as V
ILD
.
• Next decrease the input HIGH voltage level, V
IH
, until
the output begins to oscillate or steps out a min of 2 ns.
Oscillation is defined as noise on the output LOW level
that exceeds V
IL
limits, or on output HIGH levels that
exceed V
IH
limits. The input HIGH voltage level at which
oscillation occurs is defined as V
IHD
.
• Verify that the GND reference recorded on the oscillo-
scope has not drifted to ensure the accuracy and repeat-
ability of the measurements.
