5.5.6.4.2. Timing Closure: Input Strobe Setup and Hold Delay Constraints

The Input Strobe Setup Delay Constraint and Input Strobe Hold Delay Constraint parameters ensure that an input to the FPGA from the an external device meets the internal FPGA setup and hold time requirements. The value of these constraints are calculated from various timing parameters such as setup and hold timing of the external device, board trace delay and clock skew.

The following figure shows the considerations required to determine the Input Strobe Setup Delay Constraint and Input Strobe Hold Delay Constraint values. The external device sends data and clock to the FPGA through interconnect on the board. The FPGA uses the clock signal from the external device to latch input data to the FPGA. The maximum and minimum values of the output clock TCO are values available in the external device data sheet.

Figure 92. Input Strobe Setup and Hold Delay Constraints Considerations

The following is the derivation for Input Strobe Setup Delay Constraint and Input Strobe Hold Delay Constraint:

Input strobe setup delay constraint = Maximum board skew + maximum TCO

Input strobe hold delay constraint = Minimum board skew + minimum TCO

where maximum board skew = maximum data trace - minimum clock trace

minimum board skew = minimum data trace - maximum clock trace

maximum TCO = DQS to DQ skew (tDQSQ)

minimum TCO = Data hold skew (tQHS)

Figure 93. Input Data Cycle Timing Diagram
The following is an example of Input Strobe Setup Delay Constraint and Input Strobe Hold Delay Constraint calculations with:
  • Input clock frequency = 100 MHz
  • Board skew estimation = ± 0.03 ns
  • Maximum TCO = 0.6 ns
  • Minimum TCO = -0.6 ns

Input Strobe Setup Delay Constraint = 0.03 + 0.6= 0.63 ns

Input Strobe Hold Delay Constraint = -0.03 + (-0.6) = -0.63 ns

Insert these values into the Input Strobe Setup Delay Constraint and Input Strobe Hold Delay Constraint parameters and run timing analysis with the Timing Analyzer tool. The following is an example of delay result from the Timing Analyzer tool.
