AR# 32457 11.1 Timing Known Issue - OFFSET IN with FALLING keyword appears to be off by a whole clock cycle

When I review my OFFSET IN with FALLING keyword, I notice the clock arrival time was a whole clock cycle off when compared with the OFFSET IN with RISING keyword.

In the timing report:

Rising Edge Clock Arrival: -2.051 ns (both setup and hold)

Falling Edge Clock Arrival: 12.949 ns (both setup and hold)

I thought the clock arrival times are supposed to be the same; when is this going to be fixed?

The clock arrival times should be the same. This issue is caused by the negative phase-shifting performed in the DCM/PLL/MMCM components.

To work around this problem, perform positive-phaseshifting; the clock arrival times will then be the same.

This issue is scheduled to be fixed in the next major release of the software.
