METHOD 3013.1
NOISE MARGIN MEASUREMENTS FOR DIGITAL MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES
1. PURPOSE
. This method establishes the means of measuring the dc (steady- state) and ac (transient) noise margin of
digital microelectronic devices or to determine compliance with specified noise margin requirements in the applicable
acquisition document. It is also intended to provide assurance of interchangeability of devices and to eliminate
misunderstanding between manufacturers and users on noise margin test procedures and results. The standardization of
particular combinations of test parameters (e.g., pulse width, pulse amplitude, etc.) does not preclude the characterization of
devices under test with other variations in these parameters. However, such variations shall, where applicable, be provided
as additional conditions of test and shall not serve as a substitute for the requirements established herein.
1.1 Definitions
. The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this test method:
a. Noise margin. Noise margin is defined as the voltage amplitude of extraneous signal which can be algebraically
added to the noise-free worst case "input" level before the output voltage deviates from the allowable logic voltage
levels. The term "input" (in quotation marks) is used here to refer to logic input terminals or ground reference
terminals.
b. DC noise margin. DC noise margin is defined as the dc voltage amplitude which can be algebraically added to the
noise-free worst case "input" level before the output exceeds the allowable logic voltage levels.
c. AC noise margin. AC noise margin is defined as the transient or pulse voltage amplitude which can be
algebraically added to the noise-free worst case "input" level before the output voltage exceeds the allowable logic
voltage levels.
d. Maximum and minimum. Maximum and minimum refer to an algebraic system where "max" represents the most
positive value of the range and "min" represents the least positive value of the range.

2. APPARATUS
. The apparatus used for noise margin measurements shall include a suitable source generator (see 2.1),
load (see 2.2), and voltage detection devices for determining logic state.
2.1 Source generator
. The source generator for this test shall be capable of supplying the required ac and dc noise
inputs. In the case of pulsed inputs the transition times of the injected noise pulse shall each be maintained to less than 20
percent of the pulse width measured at the 50 percent amplitude level. For the purpose of this criteria, the transition times
shall be between the 10 percent and 90 percent amplitude levels. The pulse repetition rate shall be sufficiently low that the
element under test is at steady-state conditions prior to application of the noise pulse. For the purpose of this criteria,
doubling the repetition rate or duty cycle shall not affect the outcome of the measurement.
2.2 Load
. The load for this test shall simulate the circuit parameters of the normal load which would be applied in
application of the device under worst-case conditions. The load shall automatically change its electrical parameters as the
device under test changes logic state if this is the normal situation for the particular device load. The load shall be paralleled
by a high impedance voltage detection device.
3. PROCEDURE
. The device shall be connected for operation using a source generator and load as specified (see 2),
and measurements shall be made of V

following the procedures for both ac noise margin and
dc noise margin (see 3.2 through 3.3.3).
3.1 General considerations
.
3.1.1 Nonpropagation of injected noise
. As defined in 1.1, noise margin is the amplitude of extraneous signal which may
be added to a noise-free worst case "input" level before the output breaks the allowable logic levels. This definition of noise
margin allows the measurement of both dc and ac noise immunity on logic inputs or power supply lines or ground reference
lines by detection of either a maximum LOW level or a minimum HIGH level at the output terminal. Since the output level
never exceeds the allowable logic level under conditions of injected noise, the noise is not considered to propagate through
the element under test.
3.1.2 Superposition of simultaneously injected noise
. Because the logic levels are restored after one stage, and because
the noise margin measurement is performed with all "inactive" inputs at the worst case logic levels, the proper system logic
levels are guaranteed in the presence of simultaneous disturbances separated by at least one stage.
3.1.3 Characterization of ac noise margin
. Although the purpose of this standard test procedure is to insure
interchangeability of elements by a single- point measurement of ac noise margin, the test procedure is well suited to the
measurement of ac noise margin as a function of noise pulse width. In particular, for very wide pulse widths, the ac noise
margin asymptotes to a value identically equal to the dc noise margin.

3.2 Test procedure for dc noise margin.
3.2.1 Worse case configuration
. The measurement of dc noise margin using a particular logic input terminal should
correspond to the worst case test configuration in the applicable acquisition document. For example, the measurement of
LOW level noise margin for a positive-logic inverting NAND gate should be performed under the same worst case test
conditions as the dc measurement of V
OH
(min). If the worst case dc test conditions for V
OH
(min) are high power supply
voltage, all unused logic inputs connected to V
OH
(min) and output current equal to zero, these conditions should be applied
to the corresponding dc noise margin measurement.
3.2.2 LOW level noise margin, V
NL
. The LOW level noise margin test is normally performed during the V
OH
test for
inverting logic and during the V
OL
test for noninverting logic. The noise margin is calculated from the following expression:
V
NL
= V
IL
(max) - V
OL
(max)
3.2.3 HIGH level noise margin, V
NH
. The HIGH level noise margin test is performed during the V
OL
test for inverting logic
and during the V
OH
test for noninverting logic. The noise margin is calculated from the following expression:
V
NH
= V
OH
(min) - V
IH
(min)
3.2.4 Negative ground noise margin, V
NG
. With all power supply and output terminals connected to the appropriate worst
case conditions, apply V
OL
(max) to the inputs specified in the applicable acquisition document and decrease the voltage
applied to the ground terminal until the output levels equal V
IH
(min) for inverting logic and V
IL
(max) for noninverting logic.
The dc ground noise margin is the voltage measured at the device ground terminal. The dc source resistance of the injected
ground line voltage shall be negligible.
3.2.5 Positive ground noise margin, V
NG+
. With all power supply and output terminals connected to the appropriate worst
case conditions, apply V
OH
(min) to the inputs specified in the applicable acquisition document and increase the voltage
applied to the ground terminal until the output levels equal V
IL
(max) for inverting logic and V
IH
(min) for noninverting logic.
The dc ground noise margin is the voltage measured at the device ground terminal. The dc source resistance of the injected
ground line voltage shall be negligible.
3.2.6 Power supply noise margin, V
NP+
or V
NP-
. With all input, power supply, and output terminals connected to the
appropriate worst case conditions, increase (or decrease) the power supply voltage(s) until the output level equals the
appropriate logic level limit. The power supply noise margin is the difference between the measured supply voltage(s) and
the appropriate noise-free worst case supply voltage level(s). If more than one power supply is required, the noise margin of
each supply should be measured separately.
3.3 Test procedure for ac noise margin
.
3.3.1 AC noise margin test point
. If, for any combination of noise pulse width or transition times, the ac noise margin is
less than the dc noise margin, the noise pulse amplitude, pulse width, and transition time which produce the minimum noise
margin shall be used as the conditions for test. If the ac noise margin exceeds the dc noise margin, the dc noise margin
tests only shall be performed.
3.3.2 LOW level noise margin, pulse width, T
PL
. With all unused logic input, power supply, and output terminals
connected to the appropriate worst case conditions, a positive-going noise pulse shall be applied to the input under test.
The pulse amplitude shall be equal to V
OH
(min) minus V
OL
(max); the pulse amplitude shall be equal to V
OH
(max); and the
transition times shall be much less than the minimum transition times of the device under test. The test is performed by
initially adjusting the input pulse width at the 0.9 amplitude level to one and one quarter times the rise time. The pulse width
is increased until the output voltage is equal to V
IH
(max) for inverting logic and equal to V
IL
(min) for noninverting logic. The
noise margin pulse width is then measured at the input pulse V
IL
(max) level.
3.3.3 HIGH level noise margin, pulse width, T
PH
. With all unused logic input, power supply, and output terminals
connected to the appropriate worst case conditions, a negative-going noise pulse shall be applied to the input under test.
The pulse amplitude shall be equal to V
OH
(min) minus V
OL
(max); the pulse shall be superimposed on a dc level equal to
V
OH
(min); and the transition times shall be much less than the minimum transition times of the device under test. The test is
performed by initially adjusting the input pulse width at the 0.1 amplitude level to one and one quarter times the rise time.
The pulse width is increased until the output voltage is equal to V
IL
(min) for inverting logic and V
IH
(max) for noninverting
logic. The noise margin pulse width is then measured at the input pulse V
IH
(min) level.
