General Description:
The Timing Analyzer generates a timing report with a section that
shows the Clock to Pad values for the PCI design. The values
that are reported do not meet the Tval (CLK to Signal Valid) delay
requirements in the PCI specification.
The Xilinx PCI LogiCORE uses Address/Data Stepping. This
allows an agent to enable its output drivers over several clock
cycles. More information regarding Address/Data Stepping can
be found in section 3.6.3 of the PCI Local Bus Specification,
Revision 2.2.
The timing report will only report the higher of
the two following values:
1. T Input to valid data on PAD
2. Clock to valid data on PAD
These two paths are illustrated in the following figure.
The "T input to valid data on PAD" path will always
be greater than the "Clock to valid data on PAD"
because the Xilinx PCI LogiCORE uses Address/Data
Stepping as defined by the PCI Local Bus Specification.
The logic that controls the enable on the output buffer
is constrained to several times the Tval (CLK to Signal
Valid) value defined in the PCI Specification.
