Edge693

The Edge693 is a dual pin electronics driver solution manufactured in a high-performance, complementary bipolar process. In Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) applications, the Edge693 offers two pin drivers suitable for drive-only channels in memory testers, as well as for bidirectional channels in memory, VLSI, and mixed- signal test systems.

Each driver Edge693 is completely isolated from the other. There are separate data, enable, slew rate adjust, high and low levels; as well as power supply inputs for each driver. The driver output slew rate is adjustable from 3 V/ns to 1 V/ns, allowing the matching of edges from channel-tochannel, as well as slowing down edges for noise sensitive applications.

Each driver Edge693 is capable of driving 9 V signals over a 12 V range, in addition to going into a high impedance state. The Edge693 can generate ECL signals up to 500 MHz and 3V signals in excess of 300 MHz.

Combining two independent drivers Edge693 into a 28-pin PLCC package offers a highly integrated solution appropriate where speed and density are at a premium.
