Spartan-3E FPGA Family: DC and Switching Characteristics
Timing Measurement Methodology
When measuring timing parameters at the programmable
I/Os, different signal standards call for different test
conditions. Table 95 lists the conditions to use for each
standard.
LVCMOS, LVTTL), then R is set to 1MΩ to indicate an open
T
connection, and V is set to zero. The same measurement
T
point (V ) that was used at the Input is also used at the
M
Output.

The method for measuring Input timing is as follows: A

signal that swings between a Low logic level of V and a

High logic level of V is applied to the Input under test.
Some standards also require the application of a bias
