17 years agoAs Rysc metioned, the timing windows for SLWR is small. (Without roundig up the FX2 specifications as you did, I get 4.4 ns, that sounds a bit better). But I would try to use a structure, that has a low delay skew by design.
I understand, that the 48 MHz CLK output is a dedicated PLL output. If SLWR and data is sourced from an output register clocked by the same clock, you get a precise timing, but the hold time (related to PLL output) is most likely 1 or 1.5 ns too short, if CLK and SLWR use the same drive strength. Making the CLK output fast (maximum drive strength) and SLWR slow (lower drive strength), is hopefully sufficient to achieve the required timing. The about 0.5 ns output delay could be used additionally.
