Propagation Delay, Pulse-Width Distortion and Propagation
Delay Skew
Propagation delay is a figure of merit which describes
how quickly a logic signal propagates through a
system. The propaga- tion delay from low to high
(t
propagate to the output,causing the output to change
from low to high. Similarly,the propagation delay from
high to low (t
input signal to propagate to the output causing the
output to change from high to low (see Figure 16).
Pulse-width distortion (PWD) results when t
in value. PWD is defined as the difference between t
t
of a transmission system. PWD can be expressed in percent
by dividing the PWD (in ns) by the minimum pulse width
(in ns) being transmitted. Typically, PWD on the order of
20-30% of the minimum pulse width is tolerable; the exact
figure depends on the particular application (RS232, RS422,
T-l, etc.).
Propagation delay skew,t
to consider in parallel data applica- tions where synchro-
nization of signals on parallel data lines is a concern. If
the parallel data is being sent through a group of op-
tocouplers, differences in propagation delays will cause
the data to arrive at the outputs of the optocouplers at
different times. If this difference in propagation delays
is large enough, it will determine the maximum rate at
which parallel data can be sent through the optocou-
plers.
Propagation delay skew is defined as the difference
between the minimum and maximum propagation
delays,either t

parallel data transmission rate. Figure 24 is the timing
diagram of a typical parallel data application with both
the clock and the data lines being sent through opto-
couplers. The figure shows data and clock signals at the
inputs and outputs of the optocouplers. To obtain the
maximum data transmission rate, both edges of the
clock signal are being used to clock the data;if only one
edge were used, the clock signal would need to be twice
as fast.
Propagation delay skew repre- sents the uncertainty of
where an edge might be after being sent through an op-
tocoupler. Figure 24 shows that there will be uncertainty
in both the data and the clock lines. It is important that
these two areas of uncertainty not overlap, otherwise the
clock signal might arrive before all of the data outputs
have settled,or some of the data outputs may start to
change before the clock signal has arrived. From these
considerations, the absolute minimum pulse width that
can be sent through optocouplers in a parallel application
is twice t
pulse width to ensure that any additional uncertainty in
the rest of the circuit does not cause a problem.
