22.3 Derating
The AC timings included with each timing diagram include only the intrinsic delay through the output pads.
In order to calculate actual delays when designing the CL-PS7500FE into a system, it is necessary to add
the load-dependent element of the output pad delay.
The output pads of CL-PS7500FE are CMOS drivers which exhibit a propagation delay that increases lin-
early with the increasing capacitance. An Output derating figure is provided for each of the three types of
output pads, showing the increase in output delay with increasing load capacitance.
Details about which driver is used for which output can be found in Chapter 2.
Derating figures are quoted for rising and falling edges.
