AR# 18579 9.1i Timing - Different setup time reported in Setup/Hold table for differential input

In a DDR design, using LVDS signaling for the same input, I can see different setup values reported in the setup/hold tables of the data sheet section of the timing report.

Setup/Hold to clock user_rx_clk_n

------------------------------+------------+------------+------------------+--------+

.............................| Setup to | Hold to |........................... | Clock |

Source..................| clk (edge) | clk (edge) |Internal Clock(s) | Phase |

------------------------------+------------+------------+------------------+--------+

user_rx_dat_p<0> | 0.676(R)| 1.222(R)|user_rx_clk_180_buf | 1.500|

.............................| 2.151(R)| -0.247(R)|user_rx_clk_0_buf.....| 0.000|

Setup/Hold to clock user_rx_clk_p

-------------------------------+------------+------------+------------------+--------+

................................| Setup to | Hold to |........................... | Clock |

Source.....................| clk (edge) | clk (edge) |Internal Clock(s) | Phase |

--------------------------------+------------+------------+------------------+--------+

user_rx_dat_p<0>....| 0.179(R)| 1.222(R)|user_rx_clk_180_buf | 1.500|

................................| 1.654(R)| -0.247(R)|user_rx_clk_0_buf | 0.000|

Should the setup value be the same for both sides of the clock?

The setup/hold tables for both the P and N side of the clock should be the same.

To work around this issue, take the P side of the Clock as a reference for timing analysis.

This problem has been fixed in the latest 8.1i Service Pack available at:

The first service pack containing the fix is 8.1i Service Pack 1.
