I'm a little confused with the timing of RapidIO. At some point before the receiving flop the source synchronous clock or data must be shifted in order to allow for setup and hold time. Theoretically, this shifting can be done at the transmitter, on the board, or at the receiver. The part I'm confused with is that the RapidIO requirement seems to limit this shifting to the receiver only. I'm basing this on the receiver "Tskew,pair" parameter and the way that it's defined in figure 8-8 of the spec ("Data to Clock Skew"). A close look at this rule implies a very aligned clock edge and data edge (if I'm reading it correctly). In order to meet this, the shift must be done afterwards..... Can one of you RapidIO wizards help clarify this? Also, I'm looking for a good paper on this subject (Receive clocking of RapidIO). thanks, Jim Peterson Honeywell ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List FAQ wiki page is located at: http://si-list.org/wiki/wiki.pl?Si-List_FAQ List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.org List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
