Figure 3. EP220 & EP224 AC Test Circuits
Power-supply transients can affect AC
measurements. Simultaneous transitions of
multiple outputs should be avoided for
accurate measurement. Threshold tests
must not be performed under AC
conditions. Large-amplitude, fast ground-
current transients normally occur as the
device outputs discharge the load
capacitances. When these transients flow
through the parasitic inductance between
the device ground pin and the test-system
ground, significant reductions in observable
noise immunity can result. Numbers in
parentheses are for the EP224 device.

Test programs are used and then erased during the early stages of the
device production flow. EPROM-based devices in one-time-
programmable, windowless packages also contain on-board logic test
circuitry to allow verification of function and AC specifications during the
production flow.
The EP220 is supported by the Altera MAX+PLUS II development
software, Altera programming hardware, and third-party hardware. Both
the EP220 and EP224 are supported by the Altera PLDshell Plus design
software, third-party logic compilers (e.g., ABEL, CUPL, PLDesigner,
LOG/IC, and iPLS II), and third-party programming hardware (e.g., Data
I/O).
For more information on software support with PLDshell Plus, go to the
PLDshell Plus/PLDasm User’s Guide (available from the Altera
Literature Department). For more information on MAX+PLUS II, go to
the MAX+PLUS II Programmable Logic Development System & Software Data
Sheet in the Altera 1995 Data Book , or refer to MAX+PLUS II Help. Go to
the Programming Hardware Data Sheet and the Programming Hardware
Manufacturers Data Sheet in the Altera 1995 Data Book for information on
Altera and third-party programming hardware support.
