Test Parameter Definitions
Name Symbol Denition
State Width S1, S2, S3, S4 The number of electrical degrees between a transition in channel A and the neigh-
boring transition in channel B. There are 4 states per cycle, each nominally 90°e.
The transitions are determined by where the analog signal crosses the 2.5 V voltage
level.

4
The number of electrical degrees between a transition in channel A and neighboring
transition in channel B. There are 4 states per cycle, each nominally 90°e.
The transitions are determined by where the channel A analog signal crosses with
channel B (or its complimentary) signal.

adjacent upper and lower crosspoint voltages to the dierence between crosspoint
voltages.
