1. The mercury wetted relay provides a high speed repeated

pulse to the D.U.T.

2. 100x scope probes are used, to allow high speeds and

voltages.

3. The worst–case condition for static dv/dt is established by

triggering the D.U.T. with a normal LED input current, then

removing the current. The variable RTEST allows the dv/dt to be

gradually increased until the D.U.T. continues to trigger in

response to the applied voltage pulse, even after the LED

current has been removed. The dv/dt is then decreased until

the D.U.T. stops triggering.

tRC is measured at this point and

recorded.
