Hello, Clock period = (register to register delay) - (clock skew) + Micro Tco + Micro Tsu Why are we subtracting "clock skew" Thanks, AA

15 years agoHere is my table summary of io timing settings:
Inputs methods outputs methods
(1) tCO of ext device output (1) tSU/tH of ext device input (system centric)
(2) tSU/tH of fpga input (2) tCO of fpga output? (fpga centric)
(3) skew at fpga input (3) skew at fpga output (skew at fpga)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commands and equations:
(1) input
Set_input_delay –max < max tCO of input device + max data delay – min clk delay >
Set_input_delay –min < min tCO of input device + min data delay – max clk delay >
(2) input
Set_input_delay –max < UI – tSU >
Set_input_delay –min < tH >
(3) input
Set_input_delay –max < +skew >
Set_input_delay –min < -skew >
(1) output
Set_output_delay -max < tSU + max data delay – min clk delay >
Set_output_delay –min < - tH + min data delay – max clk delay >
(2) output (possibly missing from TimeQuest doc)
(3) output
Set_output_delay -max < latch -launch – skew >
Set_output_delay –min < latch –launch + skew >
