Hello all, When I analyze a common clok signal. The datasheet gives Max TCO and Min TCO. According to the TCO measurement, TCO include Internal Logic delay and external buffer delay. In order to not double count the external buffer delay portion of Tco. I subtract it from TCO to get the internal logic delay. I use the IBIS model and the measurement circuit to measure the external buffer delay. When calculate the setup margin, I use Max Tco. The internal logic delay is positive. When calculate the hold margin, I use Min TCO. Because the external buffer delay is large than Min TCO. Then the internal Logic delay is negative. Do I use the negavtive Internal Logic Delay or round up it to zero to calculate the hold margin? B.R.
