12 years ago --- Quote Start --- Not including board skew, based on the timing spec from TI, I shouldn't need to phase shift the FPGA clock unless timing is not met. Is this right? --- Quote End --- If there is board delay difference between pclk and data then you need to adjust TI spec figures then apply the modified min/max delay. If it passes timing then you don't need PLL in the first place. If it doesn't then the popular solution is rotate the clock in a pll. If you do use PLL, the source synchronous mode is meant to maintain data/clock relationship at pins right through to the registers. In other words it is meant for the case when PLL is not designed to rotate the clock.
