11 years agoConstraining multi-phase clock oversampling circuit
Hi all,
I am implementing an oversampling circuit using multi-phase clocks. For each clock the input signal passes through a 2-FF synchronizer, than the sampled value is pushed into a FIFO of depth 2. The FIFOs are read with the base clock (phase 0) and all further processing is done with this clock. What is the proper way of constraining such circuit? Treat the clocks as unrelated or use multicycle paths? I feel multicycle may be better, since I need to also implement and constrain the reset/enable synchronization. Thanks for your help.
