Hi. Scott It is a typical source synchronous system . as follows: ____ _____ | | strobe | | | |------------| | |TX | | RX | | | data | | |___ |----------- |_____| TX----transceiver RX----recevier The TX parameter is the transceiver ouput data relative to strobe. The RX parameter is the receiver input requirement for data relative to strobe. The strobe's active edge is rising edge. The key problem is the tranceiver ouput parameter does't match the receiver's input requirement , how to deal with PCB'S routing ? (TX:setuptime=1ns,holdtime=1ns RX:setuptime=2.5ns,holdtime=0.5ns ) thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott McMorrow <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <zanglinyuan@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 12:23 PM Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] source synchronous constraint > Zanglingyuan, > > It is not clear what your Tx parameters are.
