MIL-HDBK-1331 Parameters To Be Controlled For The Specification Of Microcircuits, Handbook ForThis handbook describes the parameters required as a minimum for the specification of microcircuits. Parameters, rather than circuits, are considered because circuits vary with the manufacturers involved. Further, circuit designs should be subject to change if improvement results as long as the affected designs are compatible and fully interchangeable. The specific objectives of this document are as follows: a. To provide the minimum parameters that should be specified to ensure adequate evaluation of circuit design and performance. b. To provide maximum commonality of parameters for purpose of test and measurement, within and between major classes of microcircuit types and to allow the recognition of interface problems between types of microcircuits. c. To provide standard abbreviations, definitions and symbols pertinent to the specification of microcircuits. d. To promote maximum interchangeability and compatibility between microcircuits types.

APPENDIX A

A.5.2.20 Quiescent input voltage (VI). The DC voltage at the input of an amplifier with reference to a common terminal, normally ground, with no signal applied to the input.

A.5.2.21 Common-mode input voltage (VIC). The components of the voltages at two input terminals which are identical in phase and amplitude.

A.5.2.22 Common-mode input voltage range (VICR). The range of common-mode voltages which, if exceeded, will cause the total harmonic distortion of the amplifier to exceed a specified maximum value.

A.5.2.23 Differential input voltage (VID). The difference between the two voltages applied to the input terminals of an amplifier.

A.5.2.24 Input offset voltage (VIO). The DC voltage which must be applied between the input terminals of an amplifier.

A.5.2.26 Single-ended input voltage range(VISR). The range of single-ended input voltage which, if exceeded on any input terminal, will cause the total harmonic distortion of the amplifier to exceed a specified maximum value.

A.5.2.27 Quiescent output voltage (VO). The DC voltage which must be applied between the input terminals to force the quiescent DC output voltage to zero or other specified level.

A.5.2.28 Common-mode output voltage (VOC). The difference between the AC voltages present at two output terminals (or the output terminal and ground for amplifiers with one output) when signals of identical phase and amplitude are applied to the input terminals.

A.5.2.29 Differential output voltage (VOD). The difference between the voltages present at the two output terminals when a differential input voltage is applied to the input terminals of an amplifier.

A.5.2.30 Output offset voltage (VOO). The difference between the DC voltages present at two output terminals (or the output terminal and ground for amplifiers with one output) when the input terminals are grounded.

A.5.2.31 Maximum output voltage swing (VOPP). The maximum peak-to-peak output voltage which can be obtained without waveform clipping when the quiescent DC output voltage is set at a specified reference level.

A.5.2.32 Single-ended output voltage (VOS). The signal voltage present between one output terminal and ground of an amplifier having differential outputs.

A.5.2.33 AC unbalance voltage (VOU). The difference between the peak values of the AC voltages at the two outputs when the amplifier is operating in the maximum-output-voltage-swing condition.
