[SI-LIST] Re: source synchronous constraint

Zanglinyuan,

To add to my previous comments, standard DDR type source synchronous 
architecture resolve this problem by delaying the strobe edge by 1/4 of 
a two bit period (1/2 a strobe period) at either the driver or at the 
receiver.  If that is the case with your system, then there is most 
likely no problem.  Same edge source synchronous systems with no 
additional strobe delay can be problematic.

regards,

scott
