Metastability tests for the 74F786 – 4-input asynchronous bus arbiter
Authors: Charles Dike and Naseer Siddique
INTRODUCTION
Under contract with Signetics, Mr. Thomas J. Chaney of Washington University, St. Louis tested a set of nineteen 74F786 samples (packages) to determine the metastable state recovery statistics for the circuits. The tests were conducted using a procedure described in a paper entitled “Characterization and Scaling of MOS Flip-Flop Performance”, (section IV), by T. Chaney and F. Rosenberger, presented at the CalTech Conference on VLSI, January 1979.
