7.6 AC Characteristics
The following tables list the AC characteristics including
output delays, input setup requirements, input hold require-
ments, and output float delays. The rising-clock-edge refer-
ence level V
REF
, and other reference levels are shown in
Figure 7-2. Input or output signals must cross these levels dur-
ing testing.
Input setup and hold times are specified minimums that
define the smallest acceptable sampling window for which
a synchronous input signal must be stable for correct opera-
tion.
All AC tests are performed at the following parameters
using the timing diagram shown in Figure 7-2 unless other-
wise specified:

While most minimum, maximum, and typical AC character-
istics are only shown as a single value, they are tested and
guaranteed across the entire processor core voltage range
of 1.14V to 1.26V. AC characteristics that are affected sig-
nificantly by the core voltage or speed grade are docu-
mented accordingly.
All AC timing measurements are taken at 50% crossing
points for both input times and output times.
