What is PD IEC/TR 62343-6-8 - Dynamic modules about?
PD IEC/TR 62343 is a series on dynamic modules. Dynamic modules allow non-source-text module records to be created and used by host environments. PD IEC/TR 62343-6-8 report outlines the categorisation of dynamic performance requirements for dynamic modules. There are many kinds of dynamic modules in the marketplace with many different transient performance requirements. First, they are distinguished between the performance requirements for steady-state and the transient state behaviour. Next are the requirements for transient characteristics during the transition period. Finally, a three-level categorisation for the transient performance requirements is presented.

- Design engineers
Why should you use PD IEC/TR 62343-6-8 - Dynamic modules?
Dynamic modules provide the late definition of export bindings at the execution phase, to support named exports compatibility with legacy module systems. The most important feature of dynamic modules is that their optical performance can be changed by sending external commands and/or requests. Before and after receiving the command, the dynamic module should maintain its optical performance in the steady state as shown in PD IEC/TR 62343-6-8. This condition is called Level-0. During this steady-state any performance requirements, such as optical performance, reliability, and measurement method, are the same as those of completely passive devices. In contrast, the performance requirements with respect to the transient characteristics have been insufficiently studied and may vary according to the system applications. In PD IEC/TR 62343-6-8, the requirements for the transient characteristics during the transition period are categorised into three levels of complexity.
There is a variety of dynamic modules with differing transient requirements. When the transient characteristics during the transition period are considered, it is very important to define and understand which level of complexity is required at an early stage of development. The subsequent discussions will be efficient and effective. If early consideration of the complexity level is not addressed, it will be difficult to come to an agreement between supplier and user. Therefore, using PD IEC/TR 62343-6-8 you can specify the categorisation of dynamic performance requirements for dynamic modules.
