The correct equation should be: Setup margin = Budget - (T_data_valid_before_stb_min) - (Tflight_skew_max) - Tsetup Hold margin = Budget - (T_data_valid_after_stb_min) - (Tflight_skew_max) - Thold -----Original Message----- From: Issa, Elie Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 11:26 AM To: 'si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [SI-LIST] setup & hold Time for source synchronous Dear SI Gurus: I need your help in verifying some derivation for setup & hold equations for GTL bus for source synchronous clocks. The equation for setup is: Tco(strobe)min + Tflight(strobe)min - Tco(data)max -Tflight(data)max -Tsetup= Tmargin_setup The equation for hold time was: Tco(data)min + Tflight(data)min -Tco(strobe)max -Tflight(strobe)max -Thold= Tmargin_hold The skew for the strobe & data flight time should be very small. Whenever, I fit the variable given in the specs into the equation, the margin comes negative. I would think that there must be a ValidBefore and ValidAfter variable to be included in the equation. Yet the specs claim the ValidBefore is only [Tco(strobe)min-- Tco(data)max]. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
