Latch Up
Latch up evaluation has been performed on the data transmission receivers. Latch up testing determines if the
power-supply current exceeds the specified maximum due to the application of a stress to the device under test. A
device is considered susceptible to latch up if the power supply current exceeds the maximum level and remains at
that level after the stress is removed.
Lucent performs latch up testing per an internal test method which is consistent with JEDEC Standard No. 17 (pre-
viously JC-40.2) CMOS Latch Up Standardized Test Procedure.
Latch up evaluation involves three separate stresses to evaluate latch up susceptibility levels:
1. dc current stressing of input and output pins.
2. Power supply slew rate.
3. Power supply overvoltage.
