Problem Title:

XPLA PC-ISP Programmer:	ATE vector clock speed for TCK. 


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: What clock speed should I use for TCK
in my ATE to run the ATE vectors?


Solution 1:

We generate our program and init pulses by requesting a delay based
upon a number of TCKs during programming. This value is set at an
arbitrary 10,000 clock pulses (for at least a 10ms delay). Our devices
require a 10 ms program pulse, so this means that TCK generated by the
ATE setup can not be faster than 1 MHz.
