Notes to the application information
1. Sequence for measuring switch-on delay times (tdon)
a) Nominal BK or DK input signal at pin 15: Vi(p-p)= 8 mV; f = 57 kHz; modulation-on.
b) Pin 4 of the BK detector (pin 18 of the DK detector) is switched to ground to cause a low signal at the SK output
at pin 3 (DK output at pin 2).
c) tdon commences when the ground connection is removed from pin 4 (pin 18) as the positive-going VoBK signal at
pin 5 (VoDK signal at pin 17) crosses zero.
tdon ends when the positive-going edge of the SK output arrives at pin 15 (DK at pin 2).
2. Sequence for measuring switch-off delay times (tdoff)
a) Nominal operating conditions as in note 1.
b) tdoff commences when the input is switched off as the negative-going VoBK signal at pin 5 (VoDK signal at pin 17)
crosses zero.
tdoff ends when the negative-going edge of the SK output arrives at pin 3 (DK at pin 2).
