13 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi, Refer to the appendix,how to do the timing constraint with the both FPGA to reach the expected timing? for the set_input_delay and the set_output_delay,what time relation does it tell the FPGA? --- Quote End --- Using DDR and PLL may not be required in your case but you can keep your design as such then I will do the following: The fpga1 can send data and clk aligned readily and all you need is set max and min output delay to zero implying there is no tSU/tH requirement so the fitter maintains the data clock alignment. At fpga2 assume min tCO = -2ns & max tCO = +2ns then set max input delay to about +2ns and min delay to -2ns then the fitter will try avoid the edge area and hopefully centre data away from clock edges. Only if it fails then you can use PLL here.
